AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port is located near Mumbai. It was planned with a view to decongest the Mumbai port, as Mumbai is India's biggest port with very high traffic volume. It also serves as a hub port for the entire region, helping handle cargo more efficiently.
