| What does the Sagar Aankalan-Logistics Port Performance Index assess? | the logistics efficiency and operational performance of Major and Non Major ports across India | Executive Summary The Sagar Aankalan-Logistics Port Performance Index (LPPI) assesses the logistics efficiency and operational performance of Major and Non Major ports across India. The framework was introduced by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways with the aim to modernize port evaluation, harmonize performance measurement, and align India's maritime sector with global standards. The initiative is rooted in the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and National Logistics Policy, ensuring integrated, multimodal logistics development. The Sagar Aankalan Guidelines were launched in February 2024 and mandate annual performance assessment of all ports using a standardized methodology built around the (TOPSIS) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution decision making model. | 86 | definition | 1.000 | Executive Summary The Sagar Aankalan-Logistics Port Performance Index (LPPI) assesses the logistics efficiency and operational performance of Major and Non Major ports across India. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |

| What criteria does the TOPSIS method use to identify the best alternative? | the shortest Euclidean distance from the positive ideal solution and greatest distance from the negative ideal solution | Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a multi-criteria-based decision-making method. It chooses the alternative of the shortest Euclidean distance from the positive ideal solution and greatest distance from the negative ideal solution. It is a way to allocate the ranks on basis of the weights and impact of the given factors. The steps are as follows: | 152 | definition | 1.000 | It chooses the alternative of the shortest Euclidean distance from the positive ideal solution and greatest distance from the negative ideal solution. | 8 | page=8,block=13 | 0.700 | valid |
| What factors strengthened the evaluation in the LPPI for FY 2024-25? | improved participation and higher cargo coverage | The improved participation and higher cargo coverage set the foundation for a more robust and comprehensive evaluation in LPPI of FY 2024-25, strengthening the overall reliability of India's port performance benchmarking framework. | 4 | relationship | 0.970 | The improved participation and higher cargo coverage set the foundation for a more robust and comprehensive evaluation in LPPI of FY 2024-25, strengthening the overall reliability of India's port performance benchmarking framework. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the LPPI align with in its approach to logistics system assessment? | the principles of the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) | The LPPI under Sagar Aankalan has been developed in line with internationally recognized port- performance assessment models. Similar to the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI), which objectively measures container port efficiency based on vessel time in port using robust administrative and statistical methods, LPPI also relies on standardized, data-driven performance indicators for evaluating port efficiency. LPPI aligns with the principles of the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), which assesses logistics systems through comparable, structured benchmarks across countries. Together, these similarities demonstrate that LPPI adopts internationally accepted best practices, ensuring Indian ports are evaluated through globally aligned, credible, and comparable performance standards. | 435 | relationship | 0.970 | LPPI aligns with the principles of the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), which assesses logistics systems through comparable, structured benchmarks across countries. | 7 | page=7,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |

| What role does the Logistics Performance Index play for policymakers and industry leaders? | a critical tool for policy makers and industry leaders seeking to enhance supply chain reliability, strengthen trade competitiveness and guide strategic investments in trade logistics | It helps countries understand how effectively they move goods across borders, highlights structural challenges such as customs, infrastructure gaps, logistics competence and quality score, scores on international shipments and provides actionable insights for policy reforms. Considering significant disruptions in recent years, global logistics system has shown resilience, through wide performance gaps remain particularly affecting low income, landlocked and small island economies. The LPI serves as a critical tool for policy makers and industry leaders seeking to enhance supply chain reliability, strengthen trade competitiveness and guide strategic investments in trade logistics. | 504 | summary | 0.970 | The LPI serves as a critical tool for policy makers and industry leaders seeking to enhance supply chain reliability, strengthen trade competitiveness and guide strategic investments in trade logistics. | 7 | page=7,block=1 | 0.700 | |
| What are ports encouraged to adopt based on benchmarking results? | implement efficiency enhancement strategies | The guidelines mandate that all Major and Non-major ports be assessed annually based on operational data from April to March, encouraging ports to implement efficiency enhancement strategies based on benchmarking results.
