The seventh edition of Indian Container Market Annual Report delves deeper into the logistics cost which has been a major stumbling block in container trade. It maps the cargo centers distributed across the country, tracks the partners in international trade and is a ready reckoner for the latest data on Indian container terminal infrastructure, efficiency, rankings and performance

It?s one year past since Cabotage has been relaxed and Indian ports have posted some significant growth in transshipment volumes, while transshipment at foreign hub ports has also grown unabated. But have the benefits of this major policy change been passed on to the trade?

The shipping industry is putting its best foot forward in compliance with IMO 2020 regulations. While the oil majors are busy in making available the compliant fuel, shippers can keep their fingers crossed as they calculate the Bunker Adjustment Factor that will add to their freight cost

A new breed of digital platforms for freight forwarding is coming up with a promise of increased efficiency, better transparency and reduced logistics cost plus peace of mind guaranteed

Off late, Bangladesh trade had been struggling with increased lead time and cost while moving cargo through conventional routes. The country is now exploring smarter options, which will possibly reroute its cargo through Indian east coast ports

More consultation with trade, industry bodies and also with
private enterprises can help the incoming government align policy
initiatives with industry expectations

Inefficiencies have remained a drag on the Indian textiles sector
for long. Plugging in new technologies, streamlining production
cost and developing favourable trade agreements with global
markets can enable the industry significantly increase its share in
the world market

With a stable government in place focusing on industrial and infrastructure development, Nepal is looking forward with a renewed hope for better logistics facilities in its hilly terrain, to bring down its logistics cost and make exports more competitive in the global market
