| What decision-making model is the basis for the methodology in the Sagar Aankalan Guidelines for assessing port performance? | the (TOPSIS) Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution decision making model | 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. | 711 | definition | 1.000 | https://www.shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Final%20LPPI%202024-25%20new_0.pdf | 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. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What kind of mechanism does the LPPI use to assess logistics performance? | a credible, transparent, and globally aligned mechanism | the LPPI provides a credible, transparent, and globally aligned mechanism for evaluating logistics performance. It enables ports, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to identify performance gaps, prioritize investments, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen India's position in global trade. The report concludes with detailed rankings and TOPSIS scores for all ports across each cargo segment, offering a strategic baseline for future improvements and comparative analysis. For LPPI of FY 2023-24, the Indian ports participated with cargo share of 67% of India's total cargo handled during the year, whereas in FY 2024-25, the total cargo share rose to 90% of India's total cargo handled during the year. This shows a substantial increase in Indian Ports participation as per their cargo share when compared with the previous year. | 18 | definition | 1.000 | https://www.shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Final%20LPPI%202024-25%20new_0.pdf | the LPPI provides a credible, transparent, and globally aligned mechanism for evaluating logistics performance. | 5 | page=5,block=1 | ||
| What type of methodology is used in the Sagar Aankalan initiative for assessing port performance? | a comprehensive, data driven methodology | The Ministry launched "Sagar Aankalan"- National Benchmarking Guidelines - Mapping Logistics Performance of Indian Ports in February 2024 for assessing Logistics Port Performance Index (LPPI) of Indian Ports based on their operational performance to enhance efficiency, competitiveness and overall performance of Indian ports. The Sagar Aankalan Guidelines were launched to transform port performance assessment through a comprehensive, data driven methodology that replaces traditional fragmented evaluation systems. This initiative supports India's improving position in global logistics rankings, including its rise to 22nd place in the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (2023) for international shipments, reflecting significant progress in port infrastructure and logistics capability. | 420 | definition | 1.000 | https://www.shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Final%20LPPI%202024-25%20new_0.pdf | The Sagar Aankalan Guidelines were launched to transform port performance assessment through a comprehensive, data driven methodology that replaces traditional fragmented evaluation systems. | 6 | |||

| What does the LPPI under Sagar Aankalan ensure by using internationally accepted best practices? | ensuring Indian ports are evaluated through globally aligned, credible, and comparable performance standards. | 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. | 684 | relationship | 0.970 | https://www.shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/Final%20LPPI%202024-25%20new_0.pdf | Together, these similarities demonstrate that LPPI adopts internationally accepted best practices, ensuring Indian ports are evaluated through globally aligned, credible, and comparable performance standards. | ||||
