Why jawaharlal Nehru port was planned with a view to decongest the Mumbai port and serve as a hub port for this region

Answer 1

The Jawaharlal Nehru port was planned with a view to decongest the Mumbai port and serve as a hub port for this region because in this region :
There used to have heavy traffic congestion on roads.
Prior to this port the drivers met with constant frustration as they had to deliver cargo to the terminals through their trucks.They often have had to spend hours in queues in order to wait for their documents to be verified by port officers.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust efforts have resulted into no traffic congestion.
This port trust has introduced e-forms and RFID tags,where truck drivers submit their forms online.
A traffic management team has been formed to regulate traffic.
