Kolkata Port Trust has been created in this port as the port's partner. So it is not a port. It is an official dock complex.

It has a vast hinterland comprising the entire north east of India including [[West Bengal]], [[Bihar]], [[Jharkhand]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Assam]], North East Hill States and two landlocked neighbouring countries namely, [[Nepal]] and [[Bhutan]] and also the [[Autonomous Region of Tibet]] (China).

With the turn of the century the volume of throughput has again started increasing steadily.
