Landlocked means enclosed in all sides by land... Hence, there is no landlocked port in India. However, if you meant which is the deepest port in India, it is Vishakapatnam, which is naturally deep and hence, called a natural harbour.
There are some ports which are located farther away from the coast and relatively inland. These ports are known as Riverine ports.
