Indian government is going to take some thoughtful steps to make cargo sector more profitable

Good news for the Indian air cargo business in the critical time

Today, it’s not just about doing business with the world by sea. This is still a useful model, but revolutions provide many new directions and opportunities for the world to compete. The importance of Air Cargo can never be denied, especially when a country like India is in question.

The rate of commercial likelihood in the country is increasing and the government needs to get involved in the restructuring process to fully exploit the situation. Air cargo is a very useful tool for the transportation of goods, short of a distance.

In his speech, Indian Economic Adviser to the Ministry of Civil Aviation encouraged the strengthening of relations between the two sides. He made very positive and helpful suggestions for improvement with a very intelligent and heartfelt attitude. Such measures are very important for India if we want to see this mode of transport in the right direction for trade progress with the world.

The growth rate of the air cargo industry is encouraging

According to the growth rate here, traffic to India means Freight Transport. It is showing a 10% growth between 2018 and 2019. This percentage has risen to 15%, showing good signs of increasing traffic in the coming years.

Airports are reducing the time needed to clear imports so that they can reach the destination if needed. Mumbai and Delhi airports are already speeding up their processes to provide mark-up service to those using this medium.

The government is ready to take part

Improving the problems of the workforce is a very meaningful proposition that must be done at the ground level if reforms are to be introduced.

Air cargo clearance should be faster after landing and easier than sea cargo clearance. Making this area more digital will reduce clearance time and therefore ensure timely delivery of goods.

 What actions are being taken?

Airline fares have declined over the past year, and this could prove to be a positive step for companies to invite them to do business through this mode. This will not only improve the standard of aviation, but the faster transfer of goods may lead to better quality goods entering the market.

Steps such as creating transhipment hubs, promoting regional connectivity, developing E-Cargo Platforms and setting up e-contract booking platforms, and access to payment gateways are very helpful in this direction.

From all these, it is proved that the government is keen to increase the level of services and to introduce international standards for competition in real terms.
