(c) India was one of the first countries in Asia to set up exclusive Export Processing Zones (EPZs) to boost export and promote economic growth. In 1965, the first EPZ came up at Kandla Port in Gujarat. Kandla Port is one of twelve major ports in the country. It is the largest port of India in terms of volume of cargo handled (around 100 million tonnes freight). The Union Ministry of Shipping has renamed Kandla Port Trust as Deendayal Port Trust in 2017.
