India’s maritime transport system plays a crucial role in facilitating international trade and supporting national economic development. As trade volumes continue to increase, the efficiency of port connectivity and logistics networks has become increasingly important. While India possesses a large number of ports distributed along both the eastern and western coasts, the level of connectivity among these ports is not always evenly balanced. Differences in connectivity patterns can influence how cargo flows through the maritime network and may affect the overall efficiency of trade logistics. This study examines regional connectivity patterns within India’s port network using a network analysis approach. In the analytical framework, ports are represented as nodes while the connections between them represent operational or shipping linkages. By constructing a conceptual network of selected Indian ports and analyzing their connectivity relationships, the study aims to identify differences in integration between ports located along the eastern and western coasts of the country. The analysis reveals that connectivity within the network is unevenly distributed, with certain ports emerging as dominant hubs while others remain relatively peripheral. These patterns suggest the presence of regional connectivity imbalances that may influence cargo distribution, logistics efficiency, and infrastructure utilization. Understanding these structural differences can provide useful insights for policymakers and planners seeking to strengthen maritime connectivity and improve the performance of India’s trade logistics system.
