‘India must compete with Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong to become global cargo hub’

To become a global cargo hub, India must compete with established hubs like Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Offering unique value propositions and seamless services is essential,” says Keku Bomi Gazder, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Aviapro Logistic Services. Also, innovation is vital for sustained growth. A lack of investment in research and development may hinder the industry’s ability to adopt cutting-edge technologies. Streamlining processes and adopting technology for seamless clearance is necessary. While India has made progress in infrastructure development, there’s still a need for further investment in ports, roadways, railways, and airports to handle larger cargo volumes efficiently. Inadequate intermodal connectivity often leads to delays and increased costs. Improving last-mile connectivity and creating efficient multimodal transportation networks is essential too.”
