‘Indian exporters concerned about cargo delays & high costs’

Xerrxes Master, President, Association of Multimodal Transport Operators of India (AMTOI) says, “The ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh, marked by severe civil unrest and economic instability, is significantly disrupting air cargo and EXIM trade with India. Flight cancellations and logistical challenges have created a backlog in air cargo shipments, particularly affecting perishable goods and key exports like textiles. Additionally, disruptions at key border points and the Dhaka airport are further complicating trade operations. Indian exporters are concerned about delays and increased costs, which are expected to persist until the situation stabilizes​.”
