‘Developing transit zones, competitive tariff structure vital’

Jalpa H Vithalani, Director, Global Aviation Services said, “India holds immense potential to become a global transshipment hub like Dubai or Singapore, owing to its strategic coastline and growing cargo volumes. To achieve this, India must focus on policy reforms enabling ease of doing business, seamless multimodal connectivity, and robust port infrastructure. Initiatives like PM Gati Shakti and Sagarmala are steps in the right direction. Developing world-class transshipment zones, reducing dwell times, and offering competitive tariff structures will be key. Private sector participation and digital integration across logistics chains can further position India as a global trade and logistics powerhouse.”
