The world's biggest ship, Ever Alot, couldn't dock in India as most coastal harbors aren't deep enough to handle vessels that huge. The Jawaharlal Nehru Port, the country's biggest state-operated container handling facility, doesn't have the 17-m draft required for such large vessels to navigate. It also skipped the Adani Ports-operated Mundra Port, the only facility that claimed to be able to handle it.
