The Thirteenth Schedule's infrastructure part includes a new major port at Duggirajupatnam, and other transport and industrial-development measures. The name is an Act-era proposal. Later site choices, feasibility findings, alternative ports or project timelines must be checked against official decisions, not silently substituted into the 2014 wording. A later port operating elsewhere is not automatically the “same” promised project merely because both handle cargo.

This issue illustrates how to answer a seemingly simple exam question. “What port is named in the 2014 Act?” asks for the statutory text. “Which port is presently under construction?” asks for a dated project report. “Which is an operating major port?” asks a different classification question. Do not merge these three. Infrastructure project stages include concept, feasibility, clearance, land, financing, tender, construction, commissioning and operations. The Act is primarily evidence of the commitment; a current port authority or government release establishes the live stage.

Worked example: A proposed port or industrial corridor appears in the Schedule. The entry indicates a development undertaking, not that a concession agreement, environmental clearance and operational berth all exist. A current-affairs question requires a dated ministry, state or project authority update. For map recall, locate the coast or corridor first; for implementation, require evidence of the specific stage named.

Active recall: Which port name appears in the Thirteenth Schedule? What additional source is needed to claim that a port is operating?
