Which one of the following ports of India handles the highest tonnage of import cargo?

1. The question asks which Indian port handled the highest tonnage of import cargo around the year 2000. 2. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Kandla Port (now Deendayal Port) emerged as India's leading port in terms of total cargo handled, significantly driven by large volumes of import cargo, especially POL (Petroleum, Oil, Lubricants), fertilizers, chemicals, and edible oils. 3. While Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, and Calcutta (Kolkata/Haldia) were also major ports, Kandla's strategic location and focus on bulk cargo handling led it to handle the highest import tonnage during that period.
