Among the 12 major ports in India, 11 are administered, controlled, and managed by Port Trust Boards. However, one of these major ports has a different administrative structure. The correct answer is option 3, Ennore.

Ennore is the only major port in India that has been incorporated as a company under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. This means that it operates as a separate legal entity and is not governed by a Port Trust Board like the other 11 major ports.

Alert - correct answer should be Kandla.

Kandla, which is option 4, is the major port that has been incorporated as a company under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. It is not administered by a Port Trust Board like the other 11 major ports.
