Multimodal Infra for cargo movement needs improvement’

The existing multimodal infrastructure for cargo movement needs well-thought & strategically driven steps as presently the cargo movement from the warehouses to the respective ports does not have a comforting & time saving travel by road, says Sunil Kohli, MD, Rahat Cargo, adding road is the only mode which is used maximum by the shippers for domestic cargo movement. The desirability of smooth roads & seamless travel remains all over. He adds, “The critical areas of concern at present which need to be addressed by the related agencies are: Government Regulations, Environmental Regulations, Technological Barriers, Materials handling, Transport, Supply Management and Logistics, Information and control, Distribution and Material Movement and Production Logistics and Management.
