Answer:

West Coast

Step-by-step explanation:

The Portuguese explorers reached India by the sea in 1484 and started to develop trade ports on the West Coast of India so they could buy and take natural resources and goods to Europe. The Portuguese controlled sea routes to India, and most of the trading ports were located on the West Coast because it was easier to reach from Europe.
