Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Pvt Ltd. also known as NSICT, India's first private container terminal was set up in 1997 and was inherited by DP World as part of the P&O Ports acquisition in 2006. Built at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JN Port), India's largest gateway to container trade, DP World Nhava Sheva has long been a significant contributor to India's development, and an exemplary example for all subsequent container terminal operators to follow.
 

NSICT was set up in 1997 and is India's first private-public partnership in the ports sector. One can proudly say that the colossal change that NSICT brought about to Indian shipping has been a strong propeller for the Container trade growth, India has experienced ever since. While NSICT commenced operations long ago, it has never lost its importance to the shipping fraternity, and today still retains its position as India's preferred container gateway long after competition has set in.
