Detailed Solution

Haldia is a subsidiary port of Kolkata.
Haldia Port was created as a Subsidiary Port to ease mounting demand on the Kolkata port. The Haldi River and the Hooghly River converge at the Haldia Port, also known as the Haldia Dock Complex. An inland riverine port is Kolkata. This port feeds the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin's waste and wealthy hinterland. Because it is a tidal port, Hooghly must constantly be dug up. India has 200 recognised non-major (minor/intermediate) ports and a 7,516.6 km long coastline, including 12 major ports. These large ports handle 95% of India's international trade.
