Left out or changed by Shishya: Only the 12 operational Major Ports. The ministry Ports Wing page (updated 2026) says 14 major ports, 12 in operation; the 2 non-operational ones are not named on either source, so they are left out. State taken from the PDF's state-wise sections (2.2.1-2.2.9).
Names and spellings are kept as the source prints them. Spotted a change on the official page? The list is re-read from the source, never from other sites.
