Abstract: This research study uses annual time series data 1999-2017 on selected physical performance indicators vessel traffic, average pre-berthing waiting time, average turn round time (ATRT), percentage of idle time at berth to time at working berth (PIBTW) and average output per ship berth day (AOPBD) of major ports in India. These selected physical performance indicators analysed by the method of principal component factor analysis which had given equal weights to the indicators thereby ranked the ports based on the overall score. Result found that JNPT port occupies the first position with a total score of 966 awarded rank 1, followed by Ennore port second rank with a score of 789 and Kandla port occupying with rank three with a total score of 712, Kolkata, Haldia and Tuticorin ports showed poor performance and are ranked 13, 12 and 11th positions respectively.
