JN Port lowers charges to attract customers

Jawaharlal Nehru Port, the largest container handling

port, which has lowered charges to attract more traffic,

has also been able to strike a balance between imports and

exports. “Historically, this was a port for imports, where

65 per cent used to be imports. The recent trend shows

that 51.5 per cent are imports, and remaining 48 per cent

are exports, which reflects that imbalance is being

reduced,” Neeraj Bansal, Deputy Chairman, JN Port, told.

India tightens rules for foreign ships to ply on

local routes

State-runs firms have been vested with powers to scrap

contracts awarded to fleet owners on the basis of Indian

registered ships offered by them under a local rule if they

convert their ships into foreign flag before the tenure

ends, the country’s maritime administration has said. The

so-called right of first refusal or RoFR allows fleet owners

to take the benefit available to Indian registered ships for

doing business along the Indian coast. READ MORE

Indian Logistics Industry to Experience Higher

Investments with the Passing of Industry Tax

Reforms

The Government of India’s emphasis on manufacturing

and initiatives such as “Make in India” is boosting

domestic production, which is bolstering the logistics

industry. Logistics companies are making concerted

efforts to keep pace with this growth in demand by

digitizing their solutions and offering online freight

services, according to a Frost and Sullivan Study. These

services will provide visibility across the supply chain

and transform it into an organized industry.

Exporters facing difficulties in GST transition

period: EEPC

Engineering exporters’ body EEPC India today said that

shipping companies are facing difficulties post GST as

their drawback refunds will not be released till

September-end or October. Moreover, the supplies of

goods to the export-oriented units from the domestic tariff

area are not considered as “deemed exports” under the

Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, resulting in denial

of duty free imports of inputs under the ‘Advance

Authorisation’ scheme of the government, the exporters’

body said in a statement.

Experts divided over privatisation of Dredging

Corporation

The Cabinet is set to take a call on privatising Dredging

Corporation of India (DCI) but opinion is split on the

value proposition that could accrue to the buyer in the

domestic dredging market where foreign firms have

started winning large contracts though the business is

reserved for Indian ships according to local laws.

Exports slowdown

The Commerce Ministry last week came out with export

figures for the month of July. The data shows that our

overseas shipments rose for the 11th consecutive month,

recording a growth of 3.9 percent over a year ago. That

all sounds good, at least until we look at the export figures

for the last few months. Exports growth stood at 27.6

percent in March, 19.8 percent in April, 8.3 percent in

May and 4.3 percent in June. So, there has clearly been a

loss in momentum, which needs to be addressed as a top

priority. READ MORE
