Question

Consider the following statements about Kamarajar Port: I. It is an example of corporatized public company. II. It was earlier known as Ennore Port. III. It is a natural port.

Accepted Answer

I and II only. Statement I is correct. Kamarajar Port is India's only major port registered as a corporatized public company. Every other major port in India is run directly by a government port trust, not a company. Statement II is correct. The port was originally built and known as Ennore Port, near Chennai. It was later renamed Kamarajar Port, after the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Kamaraj. Statement III is wrong. Kamarajar Port is an artificial port, built with dredged channels and constructed berths. A natural port instead uses a naturally deep, sheltered coastline without needing major construction. So statements I and II are correct, but III is not, making option (a) the answer.

Consider the following statements about Kamarajar Port: I. It is an example of corporatized public company. II. It was earlier known as Ennore Port. III. It is a natural port.
