Explanation
India indeed has 12 major and about 200 non-major ports, a coastline of about 7,500 km, and moves roughly 95% of trade by volume and 68% by value through maritime transport — so A, B and C are correct. The Maritime Agenda 2010–2020, however, targeted about 3,130 MT of port capacity, not 300 MT. Hence D is the statement that is not correct.
