ogistics is all about movement; movement of goods from one place to another; movement via air, surface, railways, and roads. It is the movement because of which we can enjoy facilities like goods which are manufactured all around the globe. But unfortunately, this movement is heavily obstructed by jams in our country; this is the issue we are trying to bring into spotlight with month.

Traffic is an age old problem in India, it is hard to imagine roads without traffic, and calculating traffic time is a practice that we have adapted in our day to day life.

Especially in Logistics sector, where being on time is considered a huge trait, we have to take measures to fight this transport evil.

April proved to be quite an eventful month, with well-being of Logistics sector in focus. We saw one of the grandest events in this sector – The Maritime India Summit 2016. The event was honored with the presence of dignitaries like the Hon. Prime Minister – Mr. Narendra Modi, our very own Transport Minister – Mr. NitinGadkari, Minister of Home Affairs – Mr. Rajnath Singh and numerous giants of the industry. Logistics Reckoner had the privilege to attend the event and it was outstanding.

Another such event for which we are eagerly waiting for is the India Logistics Expo 2016 – Robust Logistics to enable ‘Make in India’ , scheduled on 19th, 20th,

tuck In Traffic Jams Cities with high population often faces traffic problem. Never-ending queues of vehicles makes us wait for hours to cover a distance of few kilometers. And with thousands of kilometers of roadlines, this becomes a major concern for the country.

Traffic is the arched enemy of highways, and there are many reasons behind this, such as: l Poor condition of roads. l More vehicles at a time on roads. l Merging of wide roads with narrow ones. l Several roads merging into highways. l Vehicle problems on road.

लॉजिस्टिक्स के क्षेत्र में ट्रैफिक का प्रभाव ज्यादा आवादी वाले शहरो में उनका समय ट्रैफिक जाम में ही फसा रहता है। वाहनो की लम्बी कतार, चन्द किलो मीटर का सफर, घंटो का इंतजार, हजारो किलोमीटर तक फैले देश के हाईवे नेटवर्क के लिए यह सबसे बड़ी समस्याओ में से एक है। हाईवे पर रफ्तार के दुश्मन यह ट्रैफिक जाम किसी एक वजह से नही होते। ट्रैफिक जाम होने की वजह बहुत सारी है।

ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह l हाईवे

पर खराब सड़क। वक्त पर सड़क पर वाहनो की अधिक संख्या। l चौड़ी सड़क का पतली सड़क से मिलना। l मुख्य सड़क पर कई छोटी सड़को का मिलना। l सड़क के बिचो-बीच वाहनो का खराब होना। लेकिन आप यह जान कर हैरान हो जाएगें। क्योकि अब दिल्ली हाईकोर्ट ने भी यह कह दिया है कि दिल्ली में ट्रैफिक जाम से निपटने के लिए अब हैलिकॉप्टर तैनात करने पड़ जाएगें। जिस तरह से ट्रैफिक जाम में दिल्ली फंसी रहती है। उस जाम में फंसे कोई एमर्जेसीं की स्थिती में होगा। ऐसी कई गभंीर सवाल दिल्ली हाईकोर्ट ने सरकार और सिस्टम से पूछे है। हाईकोर्ट ने यह भी पूछा है की अगर गूगल ऐसी एप बना सकता है जो ट्रैफिक के बारे में सही समय की जानकारी दे तो फिर इस तरह की टेक्नालजी का इस्तेमाल दिल्ली के लिए क्यों नही किया जा सकता। इस तरह के एप्स दिल्ली के लिए l एक

This is something we all are aware of, but this problem stands tall in our face. These problems are not new, we have known them since we were kids, but knowing a problem does not decrease the seriousness of the issue.

Knowing a problem does not solve it, it even makes it worse that we cannot do anything even when we know what the problem is. This

क्यों नही बनाए जा सकते। हमने ट्रैफिक जाम से आपकी जेब पर बढ़ने वाले और जिन्दगी पर पड़ने वाले बोझ पर एक रिसर्च किया है। जो लोग दिल्ली से बाहर रहते है वह यह ना समझे कि यह खबर उनके लिए नही है। क्योकि जो समस्या दिल्ली में है। वह हर शहर में भी वैसे ही है। चाहे आप इस देश के किसी भी कोने में रहते हो, सभी लोग ट्रैफिक की समस्या से परेशान रहते है। आखिर कार हम ट्रैफिक जाम से बचने के लिए हम टेक्नालजी का इस्तेमाल क्यो नही कर रहे। जब तक हाईवे पर सर्विस लेन नही होगी लगातार तब तक समस्या का समाधान नही होगा। हाईवे पर ट्रैफिक की गति बनाए रखने के लिए रोड़ डिजाइनिंग एक अहम भूमिका निभाती है। टोल सिस्टम और औकट्राइ सिस्टम से ट्रको को बार बार रूकना पड़ता है। इससे इंधन की ज्यादा खपत होती है। बीच बीच में जो रोका जाता है ट्रको को वहा कोई सुविधा नही है। जिससे कि आराम से ट्रक पार्क हो सके। l ट्रैफिक जाम से भारत को 60,000 करोड़ प्रति वर्ष नुकसान l देश के 17 बड़े रूट पर फयूल माइलेज का राष्ट्रिय औसत सिर्फ 3.96 किलोमीटर प्रति लीटर l ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से शहरो को 10 करोड़ प्रति दिन नुकसान l ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से 1.5 करोड़ प्रति दिन सरकार को नुकसान l ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से 30 लाख लीटर प्रति दिन ईंधन बर्बाद l ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से एक व्यक्ति का समय 90 मिनट प्रति

is not to inform you about the problems; it is to remind you that these problems are still there as we dream to grow, to be a developed country.

What will shock you further is that Delhi High Court has also said we may need helicopters to fight against this traffic problem. The respected court has asked several questions like what will a person do if he is in emergency situation. The court has also questioned that if apps like Google Maps can provide the live traffic information so why can't we use such technologies to fight traffic problems. There are no answers to these questions yet. The question is why aren't we putting technology to work to fight against traffic? We desperately need a service lane on highways, until then the problem cannot be solved. Road designing also plays a vital role when it comes to smooth traffic. Because of toll system and Octroi systems trucks have to stop again and again. This leads to wastage of fuel, and at the places where these trucks are forced to stop they don't have any facility. We have researched about how much this traffic

दिन बर्बाद होता है और साल में 32,850 मिनट बर्बाद

l अगर एक व्यक्ति की औसत उम्र 60 वर्ष मान ली जाए तो 60 वर्ष

में 1380 दिन करीब-करीब 4 वर्ष आप टैªफिक जाम में ही बर्बाद कर देते है। l अगर गाड़िया ज्यादा है तो रोड़ लेंथ भी ज्यादा है। दिल्ली: कुल एरिया का 20% मुंबई: कुल एरिया का 12% दूसरे मेट्रो- कुल एरिया का 10% l एक जगह ट्रैफिक जाम में फसी एक गाड़ी में ईंधन का खर्च 20% होता है। मान लीजिए कोई पेट्रोल कार 15 किलोमिटर प्रति लीटर के हिसाब से चलती है तो 20 किलोमिटर की दूरी तय करने में उसे बिना ट्रैफिक जाम के 89 रूपये लगते है। अगर ट्रैफिक जाम बीच में लगा मिले तो 107 रूपये लगते है। यानी सामान्य स्थिती से 18 रूपये ज्यादा अगर कोई व्यक्ति हफ्ते में 6 बार भी ट्रैफिक जाम में फंसे तो उसके 108 रूपये ज्यादा खर्च होगें। इस हिसाब से महीने का खर्च हुआ 432 रूपये और एक साल में ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से होने वाला अतिरिक्त खर्च हुआ 5,000 रूपये है। यह जो गणना हमने की है वह बिल्कुल न्युनतम गणित है। हम यकीन से कह सकते है, ट्रैफिक जाम से कही ज्यादा नुकसान होता होगा। आने वाले दौड़ में सबसे बड़ी समस्या होगी। जो आपकी जेब के साथ-साथ आपके

problem cost to us. The traffic problem leaves no one, whichever city you may be in, you must have faced losses because of traffic. l Traffic Jams cause losses worth Rs.60,000Crore per year! l On 17 of the major truck routes, the average fuel mileage is mere 3.96 per kilometer. l Traffic Jams cause losses worth Rs.10 Crore per day to cities. l Govt faces loss of Rs. 1.5 Crore every day because of this traffic problem. l Nearly 30 lakh liter of fuel gets waste every day. l An average person wastes 90 minutes per day due to traffic, which adds up to 32,850 minutes per year. If a person lives for an average 60 years then 1380 days, or nearly 4 years are wasted in traffic jams. l We often hear that traffic is caused because there are more cars in Delhi etc.

But if there are more cars, the length of roads is also high.

- Delhi: Road length consists about 20% of area.

- Mumbai: 12% of total area.

- Other Metro cities: 10% of area. l Nearly 20% of fuel is wasted because of

vehicles getting stuck at one place.

For instance, if a petrol car runs on average of 15 kilometer per liter, then a journey of 20 kms will cost a person Rs.89 (approx.) without traffic, but traffic makes that amount to Rs.107. That is Rs. 18 more

logistics reckoner i may, 2016

than what it actually should be. If a person wastes Rs. 18 six days a week then it costs Rs.432 more a week, and Rs. 5000 per year. This calculation is done with keeping everything at minimum, We can surely say that the amount is many times more than this number. This jam not only affects your pockets, but it also affects your mind and body. At many places, 6 lane roads are cut down to 2 lane roads, and we often see traffic signals malfunctioning. We often see people taking short-cuts and not following traffic rules to get somewhere faster. We have failed completely at managing traffic because we are still using old ways to control traffic.

Traffic Jams not only wastes time, but stopping again and again wastes a lot of fuel too. This cause pollution, raises tension.

Hence, it is important to implement traffic engineers, and transport management to solve this problem.

शरीर और दिमाग को बहुत बड़ा नुकसान पहुंचाएगा। कई जगह पर 6 लेन की सड़क 2 लेन की हो जाती है। अक्सर देखा गया है, ट्रैफिक सिग्नल का समय सही नही होता। सड़को पर लेन सिस्टम का पालन नही होता और शॉर्टकट मारने के चक्कर में जाम लग जाते है। बेहतर पब्लिक ट्रंासपोर्ट की कमी भी जिम्मेदार है। देश के तमाम शहरो कि ट्रैफिक पुलिस और यातायात व्यवस्था अपने स्तर पर पूरी तरह नाकाम रही है। क्योकि हमारे सिस्टम के तरिके बहुत पुराने​े हो चुके है। ‘‘ट्रैफिक जाम से सिर्फ समय की बर्बादी नही होती बल्कि बार-बार ब्रेक लगाने से ईधन की खपत ज्यादा होती है, इससे प्रदूषण बढ़ता है। वाहन चालको में तनाव बढ़ता है। इसलिए बेहतर ट्रासंपोटेशन के लिए जरूरी है कि ट्रैफिक इंजिनियर और ट्रासंपोर्ट मैनेजमेंट पर ज्यादा ध्यान दिया जाए, ताकि भविष्य में भी ट्रैफिक की रफतार बनी रहे’’

by Surface, Air, Ocean/Sea in form of LTL/ FTL/Container or Air cargo , where even multimodal ways of transportation is used , often face challenges from weathering of Roads, City Traffic, check post, Octroi Naka, etc.

We chose today to discuss traffic congestion on Road due to invariably different factors where the trucks get delayed in delivering the Goods to the end customer.

ट्रैफिक से भीड़ और उसके बाद होने वाली चुनौतियां

लॉजिस्टिक्स माल जो LTL/FTL कंटेनर या एयर कार्गो के रूप में सतह, वायु और महासागर में शामिल ढुलाई के लिए कई तरीको का उपयोग करता है। इस तरह के एक विविध क्षेत्र में परियोजनाओ के बहुमत के लिए एक परिवहन के मल्टी मॉडल तरीको का उपयोग किया जाता है। शहर की ट्रैफिक, चेक पोस्ट, आक्ट्रॉइ नाका जैसी सड़क पर वेदरिंग समस्याओ का सामना करना पड़ता है। ट्रैफिक भीड़ इस क्षेत्र की सबसे खराब बुराइयो में से एक है। ट्रैफिक के कारण, ग्राहको तक माल पहुचाने में देरी होती है। जो समय अवधि के रूप में उदयोग और ग्राहको की संतुष्टि के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। हम (लॉजिस्टिक्स और सप्लाई चैन सर्विस प्रोवाइडर) अक्सर इस समस्या का सामना करते है। यह हमें हमारी कमिटमेंट को पूरा करने में कठिन बना देता है और TAT-टर्नअराउड समय ट्रैफिक की समस्या के कारण व्याकुल हो जाता है। ट्रक 24X7 आगे बढ़ रहे है और जब यह ग्राहको की संतुष्टि के लिए आता है ट्रैन्सिट समय एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। काफी चेकपोस्ट ऐसी है, जहॉ दस्तावेज RTO और STO

विवेक जौहरी,

लॉजिस्टिक्स सलाहकार और आपरेशन फैकल्टी व्दारा चैक किये जाते है, जो अक्सर लंबे समय के लिए बन्द हो जाते है। जिससे सारे काम ठप पड़ जाते है। आज, इस प्रतिस्पर्धी बाजार में जो बाजार के लिए समय

और बाजार के लिए ज्यादा महत्व है। लॉजिस्टिक में महारथ इस बात पर िनर्भर है कि ट्रैफिक कितना कम है और सड़क पर वाहनो की गति में रुकावट नहीं है। उदाहरण के लिए, मारूती सुजुकी जैसी कम्पनी में हर एक मिनट काफी जरूरी होता है। न्यूनतम काम बनाने के टार्गेट को पूरा करने के लिएए FG तार के लिए एक छोटा सा छोड़ भाग के लिए प्रत्येक और हर पुरजा मैन्युफैक्चरिंग से कार उत्पादन विधानसभा लाइन के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है। लॉजिस्टिक्स सेक्टर जो इस मांग को पूरा कर रहा है और उत्पादकता बढाने व गैप कम करने हेतु सप्लाई एक्जिन एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। कारखाना से कन्सम्प्शन के लिए ग्राहक तक पहुॅचने के लिए, अच्छी ट्रैफिक जरूरी है। बेहतर ट्रैफिक नियंत्रण, योग्य सड़के, दस्तावेज के लिए बेहतर और कौशल तकनीक, टेक्सेस ऑनलाइन तरिको से भरने से ट्रैफिक की मुसीबते कम होगी और डिलीवरी समय पर होगें।

TAT-Turnaround time gets Haywire due to traffic problem. At any given point of time when trucks are moving 24*7 , the speeding vehicle & Transit time are directly proportional to each other so as customer commitment can be achieved .

On road, traffic congestion is in form of normal city traffic, various check post where documents are checked & endorsed

by RTO/STO, often stops the vehicle for a longer time. Greasing the palms on pretext of some issue with documents, waybill, certain state forms, invoicing often put cog in running wheel Today in this competitive market when Time to Market & Cost to Market is of utmost importance, such challenges create impediments in fulfilling the commitment. The barometer of logistics excellence much depend on smooth traffic conditions and seamless movement of vehicles on Road, For Eg if we take of Maruti Suzuki where any single minute is important to achieve the target of minimum no of cars production for any day, from a small spare part to FG-Coils, each and every component is important from manufacturing to assembly line, car production. Logistics sector which is fulfilling this Demand & supply axiom plays a pivotal role in minimizing the gap and maximizing the efficiency, both directly & indirectly. From Plant to reaching the end customer for consumption, smooth traffic is must.

Better traffic controls, Worthy Roads, More skill set in fulfilling documentation / papers & online clearance of waybills, Taxes will help to avoid such traffic nuisance so as seamless & committed deliveries can happen.

कुछ कारणो की वजह से ट्रैफिक में होने वाली समस्या 1. संकरी सड़को और सड़को को चौड़ा करने पर कोई प्रयास, मल्टी लेन सड़को की गती में सुधार करने के लिए और किसी भी तरह के ट्रफिक से बचने के लिए बनाना चाहिए। इससे पहले जब आबादी की ज्यादा चुनौती नही थी तब पहले कई सड़के बनाई गई/ सड़को पर वाहनो की संख्या काफी बढ़ गई है पर कोशिशे उतनी नही बढ़ी है/ इस दिशा में योजना बनाना चाहिए। 2 बहुत सारे जंक्शनों, एक्स- सड़को कि ट्रैफिक को धीमा, भेजे जाने वाले माल में कभी कभी ट्रैफिक डायवर्जन के कारण देरी हो- ऐसे स्थानो पर फलाइओवर है, जो ट्रैफिक भीड़ के लिए प्रमुख बाधा रहे है। 3 किसी वाहन के खराब होने पर सड़क पूणत: प्रभािबत होती है। ऐसी सुिवधाए होनी जरूरी है, जो हर समय एिक्टव हो और िकसी भी जगह 15-30 में पहुॅच जाए। 4 सड़क पर जहॉ भी ट्रैफिक भीड़-भाड़ होने की संभावना है, इन स्थानो पर जहां दुर्घटनाए सबसे ज्यादा हो रहे हो, लोागो को जीवन खोना और वाहन दुर्घटना नुकसान में मूल्य/ सामग्री लगाना- सरकार को जो दुकाने और इमारते रोड़ पर बनी हो उन पर रोक लगाने चाहिए, जिसके वजह से रोड़ पतली हो जाती है। 5 आंदोलन और सड़क पर जुलूस निकालने से ट्रैफिक जाम की समस्या पर रोक लगाने चाहिए- सरकार को किसी भी समूह या व्यक्ति जो किसी के लिए सड़को को ब्लॉक आंदोलन आदि करे तो उसके खिलाफ सख्त कानून को

डायरेक्टर, ग्लोबल सोर्सिगं (SCM) लागू करना चाहिए। (हरियाणा में पिछले दंगे के दौरान उत्तरी भाग के लिए कई आपूर्ति जैसे आवश्यक दवाइयॉ आदि प्रभावित हुई है।) 6 सड़को की स्थिती बनाए रखने के लिए उचित, खराब सड़को की वजह से देरी होती है, धीमी गति से ट्रैफिक के कारण समय की बर्बादी, ईंधन और ग्लोबल वार्मिंग आदि के लिए अग्रणी वाहन प्रदुषण में वृध्दि की बर्बादी, वाहनो आदि का नुकसान- नियमित जांच, सड़क की मरम्मत के किसी भी ट्रैफिक परेशानियो से बचने के लिए कुछ उपाय किया जाना चाहिए। 7- क्योंकि समय अवधि की अनिश्चितता का, (डिलीवरी की समय सीमा) जैसा की उपर उल्लेख ट्रैफिक कारणो के लिए, उसकी विनिर्माण उत्पादन योजना में सक्षम नही है। माल के देर से आने के कारण कभी कभी उत्पादन रूक जाता है, कभी कभी लोग ज्यादा स्टॉक कर लेते है, जिससे स्टॉक व्यर्थ रह जाता है।

Some of the causes/concerns of the traffic problems are 1) Narrow Roads and no effort on widening the roads 'Multilane roads should be built to improve the speed and avoiding any traffic jams. Roads were built many decades before when there were no such population challenges/No. of vechiles on road but when the traffic has gone-up Multi-fold efforts/plans should be taken up in that direction.

2) Too many junctions, X-roads that slows down the traffic. Consignments get delayed sometimes due to traffic diversions' Have flyovers at such places, which are the major bottlenecks for traffic congestion.

3) Incase of any breakdown on the road, vehicle remains there on road impacting the traffic flows' 24x7 mobile service stations to be available that can reach the spot in 15-30mins.

4) Roads to be expanded wherever the traffic congestions are likely to occur.

These are the places where most of the accidents happen, people lose life and incases of vehicle accident loss of value/material 'Govt to also pull down the shops/buildings who have encroached the roads 5) Avoiding agitations or taking processions on the road leads to major

Traffic congestion at Ports The traffic problem is not just limited to highways and roads that we use daily.

This problem has reached the roots and it has become unavoidable. Every sector of the industry is facing the brunt of this traffic problem, even ports too. Ports are huge and the large number of trucks loads and unloads at ports. We have seen that roads connecting ports from cities are generally wider on the port end and narrower on the outside area.

This is a major cause of congestion at ports. Roads connecting to Ports should be made wider, and quality should be maintained to avoid traffic atrocities.

Ports continuously face delays in export as a result of infrastructure problems. Traffic is constantly rising

logistics reckoner i may, 2016

in major ports and that is one of the biggest issues here. Lack of proper infrastructure is one of the main reasons behind this and this has delayed the speed of growth and development here.

traffic chaos 'Govt to implement strict laws against any group or individual who intends to block the roads for any bandh/agitations etc (During the last agitations in Haryana, many supplies to Northern part were effected incl. essential medicines) 6) Maintaining proper conditions of the roads. Bad roads leads to delays, wastage of time due to slow-traffic, wastage of fuel & increase in vehicle pollution leading to Global warming etc, damage to vehicles etc ' Regular checks/ repairs of Roads to be undertaken to avoid any traffic hassles.

7) Because of uncertainty of time duration, (delivery lead-time) for the traffic reasons mention above, one is not able to plan his Manufacturing/production, sometimes production Stoppages due to late arrival of goods, one also buildsup high inventory which sometimes leads to idle inventory.

पोर्ट पर ट्रेफिक भीड़ सड़को की ट्रैफिक समस्या सिर्फ राजमार्गो तक सीमित नही है। यह समस्या जड़ो तक पहुॅच गया है। जिससे बचा नही जा सकता, इंडस्ट्री के हर क्षेत्र में, यहा तक कि पोर्ट में भी ट्रैफिक समस्या का खामियाजा का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। पोर्ट बड़े हो रहे है और ट्रको के भार की बड़ी संख्या को लोड और पोर्ट पर अनलोड किया जाता है। हमने देखा है कि शहरो से पोर्ट को जोड़ने वाली सड़क आम तौर पर पोर्ट के अंत पर चौड़ी और बाहर के क्षेत्र पर पतली है। यह पोर्ट पर भीड़ का मुख्य कारण है। पोर्ट को जोड़ने वाली सड़के चौड़ी होनी चाहिए और ट्रैफिक समस्या से बचने के लिए सड़क की क्वालिटी निरंतर अच्छी बनाई जानी चाहिए इन पोर्ट में ज्यादातर माल के निर्यात में देरी होती है, जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की समस्याओ का सामना करना पड़ता है। भारत के प्रमुख पोर्ट में ट्रैफिक को लेकर वृध्दि हो रही है। जो आज सबसे बड़ा समस्या का विषय बना हुआ है। उचित इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की सुविधाओ की कमी एक प्रमुख बाधा है और इतने प्रगति की गति धीमी कर दी है। पोर्ट और उनके आस पास की इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की सुविधा र्प्याप्त नहीं है।

Cover story

ASHISH PADNEKAR: President, BCHAA

Some locals have been taking some advantage. But mostly I have seen people paying making some unrequired expenses for gratification because of the long queues. People want to jump the queues and get their work done as fast as they can, and they are ready to pay for it.

Everybody is worried about their cargo not being shut out. Everything will be sorted once the infrastructure in and around the port is improved.

There are some age old problems in the JNPT port. There are no facilities for truck drivers. There is no proper parking and it is high time now that it gets sorted.

Dinesh Thakker, BCHAA

आशीष पेडनेकर

दिनेश थककर,

बंदरगाह में अधिक किराया वसूलने की काफी घटनाएं सामने आती है, कुछ स्थानीय लोग इसका फायदा उठाते है। लेकिन ज्यादातर लोग लंबी कतारो से बचने के लिए फिजूल के खर्च करते है और अपना काम जल्द से जल्द पूरा करना चाहते है और इसके लिए भुगतान करने को भी तैयार है। सब इस बात से चिंतित है कि उनका माल बाहर ही ना रह जाए। यह सब समस्या पोर्ट के इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर को सुधारने पर सही होगी। JNPT पोर्ट में काफी समस्याएं है। ड्राइवरो के लिए कोई सुविधा नहीं है, सही पार्किगं नहीं है और अब वक्त आ गया है कि इसे ठीक किया जाए।

भारतीय बंदरगाह के इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर के स्थिति को लेके मै यहां JNPT पोर्ट के बारे में बात करना चाहता हॅू। यहां एक खतरनाक मुद्दा है। जो काफी समय से नजरअंदाज किया जा रहा है। JNPT को बाकि CFS से जोड़ने के लिए केवल एक ही पुल है और वह भी एकदम खराब स्थिति में है, जो कभी भी टूट सकता है। उस पुल का और कोई विकल्प भी नहीं है। अगर वह पुल टूट गया तो पूरा पोर्ट ठप्प पड़ जाएगा। क्योकि इसकी कनेक्टिविटी पूरी बंद हो जाएगी। यह यातायात को प्रभावित कर रहा है। वह पुल भी केवल दो लेन का है। जो सारा भार संभाले हुए है।

प्रेजिडेंट BCHAA

logistics reckoner i may, 2016

BCHAA

I would like to talk about JNPT Port here.

There is an alarming issue which is being neglected for ages. There is a single bridge to connect JNPT Port with all the CFS, andthat too in such a dilapidated condition that it can break down anytime and there is no substitute for that bridge.

Once it is down, the whole port will be shut because there won't be any connectivity.

It will hinder the movement of containers.

And that too it is just a two lane bridge, handling the entire load.

interview

1. How did you start your journey in Logistics?

This is my 30th year working in office.

I joined the family business as a third generation entrepreneur. I was inducted as a Management Trainee, training in various functions and departments where the last two years were directly under the leadership of my father, Late C M Arya.

We have grown in all aspects since then.

Starting from a transport company today we are an Integrated Logistics Service & Solution Provider offering complete gamut of services through captive resources and capabilities.

2. Academically, what did you do to be successful in Logistics?

I have done my graduation in Commerce from Sydenham College, Mumbai University. Most of the knowledge on logistics has been acquired hands-on and through extensive travel locally and globally and through various partnerships and Joint Ventures which we have forged over the years.

3.How Rhenus was started? Please share the success story from a start-up to a magnanimous company.

Rhenus is a 100+ year old company.

Rhenus Logistics is a part of the Rethmann Group which operates in 50 countries and more than 1000 locations. With 25,000 employees, Rhenus is one of the leading

The Indian arm for Rhenus Logistics is involved in providing Integrated Logistics Services including International Freight, Domestic Freight, Customs Brokerage, Warehousing & Distribution and other Value Added Services.

4.Logistics is generally seen as a male dominated industry. What do you think is the reason behind this? What do you think should be done to encourage females to enter this industry?

Logistics business is perceived to be laborious and for the rough and toughs.

Being male dominated, it is perceived not very conducive for women workers.

1.आपने लॉजिस्टिक्स में अपनी यात्रा कैसे शुरू की थी? इस कार्य में काम करते हुए मुझे 30 साल हो चुके है। इस परिवारिक व्यापार में मै तीसरी पीढ़ी का हूॅ। मैनें यहां काम एक मैनेजमेंट ट्रेनी के रूप में शुरू किया था। जहॉ मैनें विभिन्न चीजों की ट्रेनिंग ली। वहॉ आखिरी दो साल मैने अपने स्वर्गीय पिता श्री सी0 एम0 आर्या के नेत्रत्व में काम किया। तब से अब तक हम हर मायने में आगे बढ़ रहे है। हमने एक ट्रासंपोर्ट कम्पनी से शुरूआत की थी और अब हम ऐसे लॉजिस्टिक्स सर्विस प्रोवाइडर बन गए है। जो हर प्रकार की सेवाए प्रदान करते है। 2.शैक्षणिक दृष्टि से, आपने लॉजिस्टिक्स में सफल होने के लिए क्या किया? मैने सिडेनहैम कॉलेज मुंबई विश्वविद्यालय से कॉमर्स से ग्रेजुएशन की है। ज्यादातर ज्ञान मैने काम करके ही प्राप्त किया है। विश्व भर में सफर करने से भी मेरी जानकारी काफी बढ़ी है। 3.रीनस की शुरूआत कैसे हुई थी? एक नई कम्पनी से एक विशाल कम्पनी तक का सफर कैसा था? रीनस एक 100 साल पुरानी कंपनी है। रीनस रेठमेन समूह का एक हिस्सा है जो 50 देशो में कार्यरत है और 1000 से अधिक जगहो पर स्थित है। 25,000 कर्मचारियो के साथ, रीनस सबसे बड़ी लॉजिस्टिक्स कम्पनी मे से एक है। रीनस विश्व भर में 480 से अधिक जगहो पर कार्यरत है। भारत में हम 51 जगहों पर स्थित है और हमारे 1000 कर्मचारी है। भारत में रीनस भारतीय शाखा, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय माल सहित एकीकृत लॉजिस्टिक्स सेवाओ को प्रदान करने में शामिल है। डॉमेस्टिक फ्रेट, ग्राहक ब्रोकरीज, गोदाम विस्तार जैसे सभी काम करते है। 4.लॉजिस्टिक्स को एक पुरूष प्रधान इंडस्ट्री के रूप में देखा जाता है, आपके अनुसार इसका क्या कारण है? इस इंडस्ट्री में महिलाओं को बढ़ावा देने के लिए क्या करना चाहिए?

interview

लॉजिस्टिक्स को एक ऐसे कार्य के रूप में देखा जाता है। जहॉ श्रम की जरूरत काफी होती है। यहा काम की अवधि काफी ज्यादा होती है और यहाॅ मैनेजमेंट की भी काफी कमी है। जिस कारण मेटरनिटी लीव जैसी काफी सुविधाए नही मिलती है। महिलाओ को इस इंडस्ट्री की तरफ आकर्षित करने के लिए इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर को बेहतर करना होगा और यह संदेश फैलाना होगा कि लॉजिस्टिक्स में भी काफी प्रबंधक कार्य है, जहां काफी अवसर है। भारत में इस जेंडर रेशियो को कम करने के लिए काफी कदम उठाए जा रहे है। जिससे उनके हुनर को सामने लाने के लिए काफी नए तरीके सामने आ रहे है। काफी ऐसी रिपोर्ट सामने आई है। जो बताती है की महिलाएॅ पुरूषो से अलग सोचती है और कार्य में समवेदना लाती है। यह मानना की लॉजिस्टिक्स महिलाओ के लिए नहीं है यह एक बहुत ही विवादपूर्ण मुद्दा है। क्योकि इस इंडस्ट्री में विविधता की मांग काफी ज्यादा बढ़ रही है। यह मांग लॉजिस्टिक्स में हर स्तर पर है। रीनस ने एक खास पुरस्कार रखा है। जो हर साल महिला कर्मचारियो को दिया जाता है। 5.आपकी कम्पनी में पुरूष और महिलाओ का क्या रेशियो है? फिलहाल हमारी भारतीय टीम में 10% महिलाएॅ है जिसे हम 33% तक ले जाने के लिए निरन्तर मेहनत कर रहे है। हमारी संगठन में भी हम महिलाओ को बड़े कार्य लेने के लिए प्रेरित करते है। 6.रीनस काफी ग्राहको के साथ कार्य करती है, कुछ ऐसी समस्या बताए जो आप ग्राहको के साथ काम करते वक्त देखते है? फिलहाल, ग्राहको और लॉजिस्टिक्स सर्विस प्रोवाइडर के बीच एक निरन्तर सम्बंध प्रक्रिया के स्तर पर बनाए जाते है। जो लबें समय तक नही चलते और सप्लाई चेन में कोई बदलाव नही लाते। ज्यादातर चर्चा का विषय यह होता है कि कैसे डायरेक्ट कॉस्ट को कम किया जा सकता है। LSP और ग्राहक, दोनो के बीच एक तालमेल की कमी है।

Logistics is generally seen as a male dominated industry. What do you think is the reason behind this? What do you think should be done to encourage females to enter this industry?

Logistics business is perceived to be laborious and for the rough and toughs. Being male dominated, it is perceived not very conducive for women workers. Long working hours and off beat working hours due to the operational demands of business also proves to be a setback. This industry also lacks good HR practices and well defined policies like Maternity leave, etc are not in place.

Long working hours and off beat working hours due to the operational demands of business also proves to be a setback. This industry also lacks good HR practices and well defined policies like Maternity leave, etc are not in place.

To attract more women to this industry one must provide good infrastructure like office, working space, etc. This industry needs to gain credibility to attract women workers. It is important to spread the message that many executive functions and other opportunities are available in the logistics business.

India Inc has been stepping up efforts to bridge the gap in the current ratio by implementing progressive policies and creating innovative solutions to hire, retain and encourage women talent. Diversity challenges homogeneity in thinking, which is a good thing. There have been several research reports which indicate that women think differently than men, and bring more empathy and intuition to leadership.

23

The consideration that logistics industry is not meant for women is contentious as much as there is a growing recognition that there is a need for diversity at the senior management level in every industry.

At Rhenus India we have a special recognition and award conferred on our women employees every year on our Founders Day for their contribution to the organization.

5.What is the male-female ratio in your organization? How many females are employed with Rhenus?

Our Team in India currently consists of 10% women members and we endeavor for an ideal composition of 33% women colleagues in the years to come. We encourage women to take larger roles within the Management and lead various teams in successful completion of projects on hand.

'For a successful supply chain, service providers need to understand the needs and expectations of their customer's customer' 6.Rhenus has a wide clientele, name few issues that Logistics companies face while dealing with clients.

In the present situation there is a lack of continuous engagement at the strategical and tactical level between the customer and logistics service providers. Most of the engagement takes place at an operational level which doesn't enable any major investments on a long term basis and thereby not adding value to the entire Supply Chain. Most of the discussions revolve around commercials and how to lower direct costs. There is a lack of understanding at both the service provider and the service users' end on building long term efficient solutions.

'We need to spend more in terms of investments to save more.'

In most cases the service providers are not even aware of the expectations of their immediate customers while for a

For a successful supply chain, service providers need to understand the needs and expectations of their customer's customer. successful supply chain, service providers need to understand the needs and expectations of their customer's customer.

There is an immediate need to evolve from vendor based relationships to Partnerships with Logistics Service Providers (LSP) to invest and create efficient solutions by investing into the logistics needs. LSP need to be aware of the expectations and deliverables and commitments that need to be adhered to achieve the goals set by the organization. From our experience we can say that we need to spend more in terms of investments to save more.

There has to be ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to EHS norms 7.How can clients smoothen or enhance their experience with Logistics companies?

Referring to 'spend more to save more', any Industry, be it Chemical or Petro Chemical or Automotive, requires investments from a long term perspective. In India, most things get driven when the government introduces a law and it's not by choice.

The MNC's are bringing about a change in this culture and the mind-set. There is a need to invest in specific types of trucks, warehouses and material handling equipment, IT Systems, training etc. This can be achieved only with a long term view.

At Rhenus we have invested heavily into infrastructure and fleet. There has to be ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to EHS norms and there is a need of collaborative approach while building a world class supply chain.

'The customer needs to identify the Right Partner and not a vendor.'

logistics reckoner i may, 2016

We need to spend more in terms of investments to save more.

There has to be ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to EHS norms Rhenus India believes in partnering with their customers, getting involved at the strategic level and making prudent investments. Rhenus has invested heavily in trucks for large companies in India.

About 100 trucks have been inducted to the fleet in the last one year to meet such long term requirements of the customer from the Chemical industry.

In India, we have a country within a country scenario and have various complexities related to manufacturing, storage and distribution hence every solution given to the customer has to be customized. The customer needs to identify the Right Partner and not a vendor. Partnerships should be forged with openness and transparency. Progress should be monitored through clearly defined SLA's and KPI's. Efficiencies have to be created in the system to lower the 'per unit cost' on a continuous basis. IT integration of the systems at both ends lead to maximum benefit and help in have achieving the maximum efficiencies.

ज्यादातर LSP को अपने ग्राहको की उम्मीदो के बारे में पता तक नही होता जबकि एक सफल सप्लाई चैन के लिए यह जानना बहुत जरूरी होता है। अब समय आ गया है कि हम सब अब वेंडर- बेस सेवाओ से बढकर साझेदारो की तरफ देखें ताकि हम लॉजिस्टिक्स समाधानो में निवेश कर सके। LSP को उम्मीदो और जिम्मेदारियों पर ध्यान देने की जरूरत है। अपने अनुभव से हम कह सकते है कि हमें ज्यादा बचत करने के लिए ज्यादा निवेश करने की जरूरत है। 7.लॉजिस्टिक्स कम्पनियो के साथ ग्रहक कैसे एक अच्छा िरश्ता बना सकते है? जैसा कि मैने कहा ज्यादा बचत के लिए ज्यादा खर्च भी करना पड़ता है। कोई भी इंडस्ट्री हो चाहे केमिकल, पेट्रो केमिकल, या ऑटो मोटिव हर इंडस्ट्री में लंबे समय तक निवेश की आवश्यकता होती है। भारत में ज्यादातर बदलाव तब होते है जब सरकार उसे कानून बना देती है। यह स्वेच्छा से नहीं होते। मल्टी नेशनल कंपनी इस प्रवृत्ति में बदलाव ला रही है। फिलहाल हमें खास तरह के ट्रकों में निवेश करने की जरूरत है। साथ ही वेयहाउस, मटेरियल हैंडलिग, IT सिस्टम और ट्रेनिंग जैसी चीजो में भी निवेश की जरूरत है। यह सिर्फ तभी हो सकता है, जब हम लबें समय का सोचें। रीनस में हमने भारी मात्रा में इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर और ट्रक पर निवेश किया है। EHS नोर्म को लेकर कोई सहनशीलता नही दिखानी चाहिए। रीनस मानता है कि हमने अपने ग्राहकों के साथ साक्षेदारी करनी चाहिए। पिछले एक साल में हमने 100 से ज्यादा ट्रक खरीदे हैं। भारत में काफी काम्पलेक्स परिस्थितियां है और यहां जरूरत है कि सही पार्टनर ढूंडा जाए सही वेंडर नहीं। हमें पर यूनिट कॉस्ट को कम करने के लिए काम करना होगा। सिस्टम में दोनो तरफ IT इन्टग्रेशन से ज्यादा से ज्यादा फायदा होगा। 8.लॉजिस्टिक्स इंडस्ट्री को एक असंगठित सेक्टर के रूप में देखा जाता है, कैसे हम सब मिलकर इस समस्या को दूर कर सकते है। लॉजिस्टिक्स इंडस्ट्री काफी फैली हुई है और कोई भी ऐसा व्यापारी नही है। जो इसका 1% शेयर रखने का दावा कर सके यहां किसी को कार्य सौपने के पैमाने अलग है। यहांॅ इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर, टेक्नालजी जैसी खुबियों को नहीं देखा जाता, यह कार्य केवल संबधो को नजर में रख कर सौंपा जाता है। इससे

interview

The customer needs to identify the Right Partner and not a vendor.

लॉजिस्टिक्स व्यापारी अपने संबध अच्छे करने में लग जाते है। बजाय इसके की वे अपनी क्षमताओ पर काम करे। संबधो के साथ साथ लॉजिस्टिक्स व्यापारियो को अपनी क्षमता, टेक्नालजी, इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर और EHS नोर्म पर काम करना चाहिए। इससे नए व्यापारियों को संगठित होने की प्रेरणा मिलेगी और वे ज्यादा प्रोफेशनल बनेगें। लॉजिस्टिक्स सर्विस प्रोवाइडर एक इंडस्ट्री की जरूरतो के अनुसार निवेश करने के लिए हमेशा तत्पर रहना चाहिए। यह तभी होगा जब सब उत्पादक अपने व्यापार में उचित निवेश का प्रण ले। सर्विस प्रोवाइडर को हर स्तर पर कार्यरत रहना चाहिए ताकि वह ग्राहक की वर्तमान और भविष्य की मांग को समझ सके। 9.आप किस प्रकार की टेक्नालजी इस्तेमाल करते है? टेक्नालजी का लॉजिस्टिक्स में क्या महत्व है? टेक्नालजी आने वाले समय में एक महत्वपूर्ण चीज रहेगी। जो काफी फर्क बनाएगी रीनस की खासियत उसके लोग, IT और HSSEQ है। हम इन तीनों में लगातार निवेश करने को तत्पर रहते है। कौन्ट्रेक्ट लॉजिस्टिक्स के लिए हमारे पास एक वेयरहाउसिंग मैनेजमेंट सिस्टम है, जिसमें बारकोडिंग और सभी नवीनतम इक्युपमेंट का उपयोग शामिल है। हमारे पास ई-फलीट मैनेजमेंट सिस्टम भी है, जो सभी गाड़ियो की आवाजाही पर पैनी नजर रखता है। हमारी सभी गाड़ियो में इस्तेमाल करते है। उससे हमें सीधी EDI कनेक्टिविटी मिलती है। अपने परिचालन कार्यो के लिए हमारे पास ग्लोबल सिस्टम है। सेल्स के लिए हमारे पास एक मजबूत CRM सिस्टम है। 10.भविष्य में व्यापार को बढ़ाने के लिए अपनी नीतियो पर रौशनी डाले। हम ऑर्गनिक और इनऑर्गनिक बढत पर अपना ध्यान केद्रित कर रहे है। हमने हाई टेक लॉजिस्टिक सेवाओ का निर्माण किया है और इस पर काम कर रहे है। यह सेवाएॅ उच्च स्तर के मेडिकल उपकरण, बैकिंग उपकरण, IT आदि के उपकरण जैसे कि X-Ray मशीन, CT स्कैनर को इन्सटौल करने का काम करते है। इन उपकरणो में हम प्लग - प्लेय मॉडल का उपयोग करते है। यह व्यापार यूरोप में काफी बड़े स्तर पर चल रहा है। इसके लिए हमने इंजीनियर को रखा है। जिन्हें पिछले दो सालो में ट्रैनिंग दी जा रही थी और अब वे भारत में काम करने के लिए तैयार है। विस्तार के अगले चरण में हम अस्पताल लॉजिस्टिक्स पर ध्यान देगें।

Collaborative and Integrated Logistics is the future.

8.Logistics Industry is still seen as an 'unorganized' industry. How can we all contribute to eradicate this tag?

The Logistics industry is very fragmented in India and there is not a single player who can claim of even 1% of the market share today.

The service taker has a tendency to award the business / contract to the 'so called' logistics player not on the merits like infrastructure, technology and other capabilities; the business is awarded purely on the basis of relationship. This encourages the 'logistics players' to maintain status quo and not develop and upgrade their capabilities and operate on the old school of thought, thus providing a set-back to the entire logistics industry.

'Collaborative and Integrated Logistics is the future.'

Along with the relationship, the service taker should also take cognizance of the competence of the Logistics Service Provider from various aspects like technology, capability, infrastructure and EHS norms to name a few. This will encourage the new and existing players to get organized and professional.

Collaborative and Integrated Logistics is the future, where the Logistics Service Provider should be willing to invest in the requirements of a particular industry needing a cumulative assurance from the Industry to arrive at a decent ROI. This can only be achieved when all manufacturers make commitments with their business for such an investment. The Service Providers must be involved at the strategic level to

25

understand the present and future needs of the customer.

9.What type of technologies do you use?

How important is technology for logistics?

Technology will be one of the key differentiators in the logistics space.

The USP of Rhenus India is People, IT and HSSEQ (Health Safety Security Environment and Quality). We believe in investing in all three on a continuous basis.

For our contract logistics business, we have a Warehouse Management System including barcoding and latest equipment's in all our warehouses. We have an E-Fleet Management system and a Track and Trace Module to closely track and monitor the movement of our fleet.All our vehicles are GPS mounted. The technology that we use in our Customs Brokerage business gives us direct EDI connectivity with our customers. We have a global system for accounting and operational processes for our international freight business. We also have a strong CRM system for sales and pipeline management.

10.Please share your plans for expansion in near future.

We plan to grow both organically and also are weighing the option of inorganic growth. We launched the Hi Tech Logistics vertical in India last year and are working on the same aggressively. This vertical deals with logistics of Hi-End electronic equipment in the medical, banking and IT industry and installing hi tech medical devices like X-Ray Machine and CT Scanners. We operate on the plug and play model for equipment. For this specialized business, which is a large sized business in Europe, we have recruited engineers who have been trained in Europe for the last two years and are now ready for the Indian market. In the second phase of expansion, we will be looking at Hospital Logistics.

interview

Tell us something about your journey so far: We have been in Salt production from last 40 years. In 1993, we realized the need of Refined and hygienic salt in our country and that led us to setting up 'Ankur Chemfood ltd' which engages in manufacturing, marketing and export of Edible & Industrial grade refined salt. We have been increasing production capacity, exploring new market, adding specialized products which help us to reach at level of World's Leading Refined Salt producer. We are growing in every aspect of business like business volume, brand value, exploring new products and packaging, developing back to back integration. Today we are world's leading refined salt producer with production capacity of more than 3000 MT per day. Apart from volumes, we are backed with strong brand value.

We are world's leading refined salt producer with production capacity of more than 3000 MT per day

Ashok Parakh

Managing Director- Ankur Chemfood Ltd

What do you think was the turning point (biggest decision) of your life?

4 years ago salt industry was going through a bad phase, and everyone said that it is better to wait for this phase to end rather taking steps to fight this. In such alarming scenario, we decided to be more aggressive for better penetration of market. We chose aggressive marketing strategies, focusing on innovative packaging which helped us to sustain, and even grew significantly.

What is your motto in life? :Like any other responsible human being, I want to be a 'GIVER' to our society. Our society gives us so much, and I want to give back to society,\][p as we should not conclude our life as Taker.

At the time of independence, India used to import salt from U.K, and at present India is the third largest salt producer of the world. What led to this spectacular growth of salt industry in India?

Yes, it is really a matter of pride for our

interview

29

nation. Prime reason for such a spectacular historical growth was the initiative taken by our Father of nation 'Shree Mahtama Gandhi'. We treat Salt as an auspicious item as it is symbol of faith and loyalty.

There are nearly 11799 salt manufacturers in India, what does it take to reach at the top of this industry?

Our single motto was to develop our own brand rather than working for others. As we are pioneer of this industry, so we are fortunate to have a good channel network which is the key to our success.

We look forward to subsidized railway rake and costal ocean freight for edible salt.

What do you feel about rules and regulations of working in India? Any law you feel should be amended?

We feel that government should support this industry in terms of logistic support as we look forward to subsidized Railway rake and costal ocean freight for Edible Salt. Low value commodity like salt mainly depends on logistic support.

What are your expectations for financial year 2016-17? Why? In terms of our finances, we are expecting to close this year with significant growth as compare to last year.

A warehouse should be nicely covered to take care for moisture, as salt is a hydroscopic nature substance.

What type of warehouses do you use? Do you use third party warehouses as well?

What do you look for in a warehouse?

We have our warehouse storage capacity of 50,000 MT at manufacturing side.

We have warehouses at mostly all major cities of India. For us , a warehouse should have an adequate space for loading and unloading and should be nicely covered to take care for moisture, as salt is a hydroscopic nature substance.

अपनी यात्रा के बारे में कुछ बताए? हम पिछले 40 वर्षो से नमक के उत्पादन में है। 1993 में, हमें रिफाइन्ड की जरूरत का एहसास हुआ और हमारे देश में स्वच्छ नमक स्थापित करने के लिए हमने इसका नेतृत्व किया ‘‘अंकुर केमफुड लिमिटेड’’ दुकानदारी और खाद्य, औद्योगिक ग्रेड िरफांइड नमक का निर्यात है, जो इसके मैन्युफैक्चरिंग में एन्गेज रहते है। हमारी उत्पादन क्षमता बढ़ रही है। नए बाजार की खोज एव विशेष उत्पाद, जो हमें विश्व की प्रमुख नमक उत्पादन के स्तर को जोड़ने में मदद करती है। हम कारोबार की तरह व्यापार के हर पहलु में बढ़ रहे है। ब्रांड वैल्यू, नए उत्पादो की खोज और पैकेजिंग, आज हम दुनिया के प्रमुख उत्पादन क्षमता के साथ अधिक से अधिक 3000 मीट्रिक टन प्रतिदिन की िरफांइड नमक उत्पादक है। इसके अलावा हम आयतन में से मजबूत ब्रांड मूल्य के साथ समर्थन करते है। l हमारा नमक दुनिया के प्रमुख िरफांइड में से एक है l हमारे उत्पादन क्षमता के साथ निर्माता l अधिक से अधिक 3000 मीट्रिक टन प्रति दिन होते है। आपको क्या लगता है। एक नया मोड़ (सबसे बड़ा निर्णय) आपके जीवन में क्या था?

4 साल पहले नमक उद्योग बुरे दौर से गुजर रहा था और हर किसी ने कहा कि इस समय में इससे लड़ने के लिए कदम उठाने के बजाय इसके समाप्त होने का इंतजार करना ही बेहतर है। ऐसे खतरनाक परिदृश्य में हमने बाजार की बेहतर पहुंच के लिए अधिक अग्रेसिव होने का फैसला किया। हमने ऐसी मार्केटिगं रणनीतियों का चयन किया है जो पैकेजिंग के नए से नए तरीको पर ध्यान केद्रित करती है और इससे हमें आगे बढ़ने में सहायता मिलती है। आपके जीवन का सिध्दांत क्या है? मैं किसी भी जिम्मेदार इन्सान की तरह समाज के िलए कुछ

करना चाहता हूॅं। आजादी के समय भारत में U.K से नमक आयात होता था और अब भारत दुनिया का तीसरा सबसे बड़ा नमक उत्पादक है। भारत में नमक उद्योग के इस शानदार विकास करने की क्या वजह है? हॉ, यह वास्तव में हमारे देश के लिए गर्व की बात है। इस ऐितहािसक िवकास का मुख्य कारण हमारे राष्ट्र पिता महात्मा गाधी व्दारा की गई पहल है। हमारे एक शुभ वस्तु के रूप में नमक के इलाज के रूप में यह विश्वास और वफदारी का प्रतीक है। भारत में लगभग 11799 नमक निर्माताए है, इस इंडस्ट्री में सबसे ऊपर पहुंचने के लिए किस चीज की जरूरत है? हमारा एकमात्र लक्ष्य यह है िक हम खुद को मजबूत करे, बजाय इसके िक हम दूसरो के िलए काम करे। हम इस इंडस्ट्री में सबसे आगे है, हम भाग्यशाली रहे हैं जो हमारे पास अच्छा चैनल नेटवर्क रहा है, जो हमारी सफलता की कुंजी है। हम रियायती रेलवे रेक और खाद्य नमक के लिए तटीय सागर माल के लिए तत्पर है। अपने नियमो और भारत में काम करने के नियमों के बारे में क्या महसूस करते है, कोई भी कानून आपके अनुसार संशोधन किया जाना चाहिए? मुझे लगता है कि सरकार को लॉजिस्टिक्स इंडस्ट्री का समर्थन करना चाहिए और हम चाहते है कि खाद्य नमक के लिए रेलवे रेक और तटीय सागर फ्रेट में रियायते दी जाए। नमक जैसी कम मूल्य की वस्तु ज्यादातर लॉजिस्टिक्स समर्थन पर निर्भर रहती है। वित्त वर्ष 2016-17 के लिए आपकी उम्मीदे क्या है?

support do you use?

We use multi-modal types of transportation like Land transportation where we use mode of Railway and trucking. We also use Sea transportation for Export and coastal movement.

What should be done to further enhance salt industry? How can India become the top producer of salt in the world?

We are doing constant efforts to become world leader. We hope that we can achieve this level by 2022. We need government support in terms of liberal policy for salt producing land.

What problems do you face, and would like to avoid, when dealing with Logistics service providers?

We are based at Kutch, Gujarat; which have geographical advantage and disadvantages too.

We lack availability of trucks, have higher freight rate for domestic market.

In contrast, we are near to port so we have advantage in coastal and export shipments.

According to you, what will be scenario of salt industry in India in 2020?

In the era of globalization, we have to give more focus of quality of products and need packaging solutions. Indian salt industry can become significant wrathful by taking care of these aspects. In terms of volume, we will be equivalent to world leader.

In our April issue, Oliver Bohm raised a question for all the industrialists in this industry. The question was - How can we provide consultancy to your business and be a true enabler of your performance rather than providing the basic service.

Mr. Ashok Parakh has answered the question saying: While choosing a logistics service prov ider, we look for: A: Best Pricing B: On-time Services C: High level of commitment.

Q.Mr. Parekh has also raised a question for Logistics Service Providers – We as an exporter, need freight rates for future shipment for a period of say 1 year. Can a logistics company provide it so we can work on it and perform our deal?

What is your take on GST implementation?

How can the best of this implementation be squeezed, according to you?

While GST implementation is envisaged at easing the overall tax barriers within the country, it will effectively put back the onus on the supply chain managers, to design a 'lean mean' distribution network based primarily on catering to end customer requirements: what was perceived as a quick fix regulatory change is fast becoming a true supply chain puzzle.

One on one with

Vikram Mansukhani Head 3PL, DIESL

After a brief stint as the Chief Operating Officer at Deccan 360, Vikram joined DIESL as the National Head of Operations where he contributed immensely in improving operational processes and KPIs, and established connect with DIESL’s key customers through appreciable standards of customer service. He has been keenly engaged in profit center management, service quality, industrial engineering, gateway operations and network and distribution optimization.

In his present role as Head 3PLS, Vikram oversees Business Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Communication, and Business Excellence.

Let's read ahead to know what Vikram thinks about the industry and what are the important pointers to keep in mind.

Last year, DIESL was chosen as winner during an industry meet, how did it feel and what has made the company stay ahead and robust?

Getting an award always motivates you to strive harder as it is an appreciation for countless hours of effort under fairly difficult operating conditions and ever growing customer expectations. What allowed us to get the award was an unflinching resolve to meet customers' KPIs without adding to costs, in a transparent manner and with a focus on a sustainable future.

What is India's status in the global logistics market? What are the major factors to be kept in mind to maintain a steady growth while applying innovative approaches?

The Indian economy has gone through a complete metamorphosis in terms of volume growth, speed to market and customer expectations. However, infrastructure improvements have not kept abreast. Versus the global markets, India's spend as a percentage of revenue is almost double and to change this, the entire supplychain would need to transform and not only the warehousing and transportation piece. A stable future through innovation must keep in mind sustainable growth versus short term disruption.

Kindly share your success mantra for the 3PL service providers out there and the user industries.

Keep it transparent and objective. A 3PL can only succeed if the customer's supply chain improves and in turn the customer allows 3PL to actually run the operations.

DIESL has been participating at major industry events. Do you think these platforms and exhibitions provide a value add and why?

These platforms allow a ready convergence of thoughts and ideas to mix with domain knowledge and hard experience resulting by and large in an educated decision.

Anshul enjoys the art of salesmanship and believes it to be his primary passion.

India Logistics Expo representation recently caught up with Anshul in a conversation about the recent projects

by Embassy and what are his views in the recent warehousing play.

At the Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet 2015, Embassy announced an upcoming project on Warehousing Park. Would you tell us the progress on it and what is thought process behind it? What has been the motivation?

In October 2015, we announced the formation of Embassy Industrial Parks a US $250 million joint venture between the Embassy Group and Warburg Pincus.

Embassy Industrial Parks is hoping to build 15 to 20 million sq ft of industrial and warehousing space over the next 5 years across India. This includes the development of an industrial park in Tamil Nadu with a projected total investment of Rs 900 crores. We are currently actively pursuing a number of strategic

land acquisitions to position ourselves to become a truly integrated nationwide player. The lack of organization in the sector and a spike in demand for modern Grade A warehousing which we expect to see touch 125 million sq ft over the next few years are major drivers behind our entry into the segment.

With the ever-growing e-Commerce market, logistics has become all the more important and challenging. What do you think is the most important thing to keep in mind? What are the opportunities?

I think supply chain efficiency is going to become the single biggest differentiator in the e-Commerce space as organizations strive to make same day delivery a cost effective reality. Modern warehousing facilities that allow for consolidation of distribution hubs will be a vital component in making this a reality. While the advent of GST will lead to more consolidation in the warehousing sector that should provide the ideal platform for the emergence of large scale nationwide players.

What are the challenges for Embassy Industrial Parks in the near future? How do you plan to combat those?

In a highly price sensitive market, acceptance of the premium required to operate out of modern Grade A spaces could be seen as a challenge initially.

However when companies realize the lifecycle benefits in terms of long term costs and operational efficiency we feel confident that there will be a significant upshift in demand for such space.

There are many exhibitions on logistics and warehousing. Do you feel they are an integral part of the industry and they are an important platform?

Large well organized events are going to be integral channels for buyers and suppliers to meet. Just like we feel that the sector is ready for more organization and consolidation, the events themselves will evolve into a select number of can't miss occasions for networking and insights into industry trends.

ere's a short case study which highlights the importance and results of Executive Coaching.

Case Study l The research of Goleman and Boyatzis shows that the key indicator of failure for young executives is their inability to develop empathy. l The research of the Gartner group shows that the key factor in retaining high quality employees is having a favorable relationship with their supervisor where they experience the opportunity being treated like an adult and given the chance to grow and develop. l The research of Metrix Global shows that coaching generated improvements in retention, cost savings, productivity, work output and sales and 69% of improvements were attributed to coaching. l A study of 100 executives from Fortune 1000 companies conducted by the Manchester Group found the following results: 5.7 times the initial investment in coaching is recaptured through coaching, a 53% improvement in productivity in executives receiving coaching, and a 48% improvement in quality from executives receiving coaching What are the benefits of executive coaching?

They include achieving more

business and personal goals, clarifying causes of behavior and creating a strategy for long term change, developing emotional intelligence competencies, enhancing leadership capability, learning skills to manage conflict and change, improving job performance, and supporting succession planning.

Executive Coaches work with executives, corporate leaders, senior professionals, entrepreneurs, accountants, attorneys, and business owners in a broad range of industries to make you more valuable to yourself and your organization. Executive Coaching can help you to become a leader who motivates, inspires and innovates, deals with difficult people and issues, makes better informed decisions to lead your company, and utilize your time and energy more effectively. You might benefit from executive coaching in the areas of leadership development, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and resilience.

Who Needs An Executive Coach?

Getting executive coaching is not a decision to rush into. You have to strategically think and plan your way

throughout. Here are few questions you should ask yourself before taking any decisions about executive coaching.

1. How valuable is this person's performance and potential to your organization?

Executive coaching is undoubtedly beneficial, but on the same time it is expensive and time-consuming. It should be reserved for people who are critical to your organization's success, or will be in the future.

2. Is the executive able, and willing to work with a coach?

As they say, change comes within.

Executive has got to want to change.

One should go for coaching when he wants to change but finds himself directionless.

3. What is the nature of challenge the person is facing?

Best time to introduce executive coaching is when an executive is struggling to learn how to best manage herself and engage others. In such cases the Executive coach helps executives think through and tackle their own problems.

epercussions of these breakneck successions of the country's growth will lead to increase in purchasing and spending powers of the people. This takes us to the top 10 sectors to invest in 2016.

Chemicals It is one of the biggest sector in all over the world. But in India the size of the companies are very low and Small.

LR recommends Asian paints, Balaji Amiens, Solar Industry, pidilite.

Defense It is difficult for any country to depend upon others for their defense if they are planning to be Super Power. Again size of companies and number of companies are very small. Very basic level and rigged by Govt. BEL, Reliance Defense, BEML Astra Micro are good companies in this space.

Pharma

Airlines

Private Banks

It is expected that India will become Third largest market for Airlines. Investing in Airlines can offer good results if done cautiously. Indigo can be a good investment if authorities list it.

India is largely unbanked country and private banks are expanding their branches in the rural areas. DCB Bank, and Yes Bank have attractive valuations and low NPA.

NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company)

Pharmaceuticals

An uptick in credit demand will benefit this sector. Some stock picks are Edelweiss Financial Services, JM Financial.

This sector has been a huge value creator over the last 15 years and will continue to create value for the next 15 years. Torrent Pharma looks attractive on valuations.

IT Depreciation of Indian rupee benefits IT companies. Accelya Kale, MPS, HCL Tech are some picks from this sector.

Cover story

It is unfortunate that 10 of the 15 cities on the most-polluted list are located in India. That is a whopping 66 percent!

It is surprising that none of the 15 cities on the list are located in China, which is also considered to be one of the most polluted countries in the world.

It is worth pointing out that the top-15 list measures cities with the greatest level of particulate pollution, which is not the same thing as emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary driver of climate change.

However, it is important to note, however, that particulate pollution is not a key contributor to climate change.

Rising global temperatures are more heavily tied to emissions of another substance -- carbon dioxide.

The biggest project of the country

Sagarmala Project is lauded to complete in 5-10 years. The project will incur investment of Rs. 4-5 lakh Crore.

Under this project, modernization, development of new ports, betterment of port connectivity, industrial development related to ports, and development of coastal community are involved. South Korea is a partner for this project.

India's coastal line is expanded to around 7.5 thousand kms and in that huge coastline there will be 5-6 super points with handling capacity exceeding present expectations. 5-6 new ports will be created, and hundreds of mini projects will be completed under this.

Problems in handling of cargo will be eradicated. Along with that ports will be connected to rivers so that rivers will also be used for logistics so that goods can pass through those rivers as well.

This will save around 40 thousand Crore every year on logistics cost. This project will be implemented by 2022, and by 2025 it will be fully functional. This will raise job opportunities for more than 1 Crore people. Infrastructure companies will be benefited the most by this project.

This project will be a shadow of what happened under Vajpayee govt.

Here are some points showing how ends of the country will be connected, and how this project will enlighten India: l This project will include investment of Rs. 4-5 lakh crore. l Aims completion by 2022. l To be fully operational by 2025. l Big ports to be developed on huge coastline of 7500 kms. l Industrial areas to be created near ports. l Project will provide employment to around 1 Crore people. l Will save logistics cost by Rs. 40,000 crore every year.

The transporter has already started identifying sections to run the first of its kind 'time-tabled' freight trains on a pilot basis, starting May-June this year.

These time-tabled freight trains, which will reach their destinations in specified time, will initially be for parcel and container traffic on selected routes where there is an opportunity of free passage for a few hours.

The IR is looking at running such container trains on the JaipurAhmedabad-Pipav Port and the DelhiMumbai routes.

Officials said that the light-weight Talgo trains run at speeds of between 160-200 kmph and can connect Mumbai-New Delhi within 12 hours.

The minister said the first suburban airconditioned local trains will be introduced on the Harbour Line from May

Board Member-Traffic said that 'We believe running of time-tabled freight trains is very much possible.

We are in the process of doing some major traffic analysis and are still identifying sections where these trains can be run. Besides, we will also ensure that our market share is retained in long as well as short-haul freight traffic.

With this objective, we already have introduced a lot of freight rationalising and incentive schemes like: removing the existing 10% port congestion surcharge, reduced tariffs for the 'merry-go-round' scheme; due to which Singareni Collieries has committed to transport an additional 3-4 mt of additional traffic.'

He added that 'We have also opened the container segment to all traffic barring coal and certain specified minerals. Also, unloading of domestic container traffic to all railway good sheds where freight movement is less has been made possible.

Anil Devli, CEO, Indian National Shipowners' Association, said that despite the BDI going up, bulk operators are still not making money to take care of their operational expenses.

'I am an optimist as the low BDI in February had put many jobs under threat and companies may have shut down if it had persisted. Today that fear has been alleviated to a certain extent and helped shipping companies to stay afloat,' he said.

Devli said that the surge in demand for commodities and consequent increase in freight is also aiding the improvement in the Baltic Dry Index.

Over the last quarter, cumulatively 943 vessels were scrapped.

This brought some stability to the supply-demand equation in the market.

Ships availability reduced slowly, resulting in demand for a certain class of ships.

He said that there are fewer orders for construction of bulk carriers.

If Cochin Shipyard-Samsung wins the tender, the consortium is expected to secure orders for three ships, each cost around INR 1,500 crore. Under the MoU, Samsung Heavy Industries would receive around INR 2,656 crore (USD 400 million) for collaborating with Cochin Shipyard.

Three of the ships must be built locally and Cochin Shipyard is the only Indian yard to meet GAIL's criteria.

Cochin would supply the manpower and dock, while Samsung would advise on shipbuilding technology and equipment procurement.

Last year Cochin Shipyard had striken a deal with Samsung Heavy Industries to cooperate in construction of the vessels.

It has also been licensed by GTT of France to build LNG carriers with the Mark III membrane containment system. CSL spokesperson, the MoU for collaboration has been signed and the consortium will build the LNG ships for GAIL. The function was attended by officials of Cochin Shipyard and Samsung.' Under the tender terms, the carriers ordered at overseas yards will have to be built and delivered between January 1 and May 31, 2019 and those from Indian yards delivered between 1 July, 2022 and 30 June, 2023.

The six LNG carriers built at overseas yards will therefore be hired by GAIL for 19.5 years and the three tankers constructed in India for 16 years. All carriers will be operated by the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI).

GAIL has tied up 5.8 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the US which the newly built ships will ferry. South Korea's largest shipbuilder, Hyundai Heavy Industries, had initially teamed with Indian engineering and construction firm Larsen and Toubro, which later withdrew from the tender.

Private participation likely in modernization of state-run ports The Shipping Ministry is looking at 'modernising' state-run sea ports with private sector support as a first step, circumventing opposition to its plan for

port 'corporatisation'.

Official sources said that the proposal is still at the boardroom level as the Ministry is yet to decide how it wants to go about it, or which ports it wants to initiate the process with.

Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping said that 'We are considering a proposal to modernise sea ports and not corporatise them.'

Manohar Parrikar says: Defence Ministry will assist in growth of Shipping Sector

Maersk to Increase Asia-Europe Freight Rates

The public debate on the issue of port 'corporatisation' started when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had proposed in Budget 2016 that ports would be encouraged to corporatise, and become companies under the Companies Act in order to attract investments for infrastructure development.

However, following criticism from port labour unions, Jaitley tweaked the proposal in Budget 2017 and announced that the government had 'started a series of measures to modernise ports and increase their efficiency'.

Gadkari said the objective is to ensure that state-run sea ports become more competitive and efficient. Experts who track the infrastructure sector said handling employees will be critical in plans for modernisation with public-privatepartnership (PPP).

The world's largest container shipping company Maersk Line, owned by A.P. Moller-Maersk, plans to increase freight rates for transporting containers from Asia to Northern Europe by USD 550 per 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) from May 1, it said on Tuesday.

The industry has been grappling with overcapacity and freight rates for shipping containers on the key route have plummeted 78% this year to a level widely widely seen as loss-making.

Maersk Line also aims to raise freight rates from Asia to some ports in Central America and South America's west coast

by USD 1,050 per TEU from May 15.

Union Minister for Defence Manohar Parrikar said that India's shipping sector is all set to grow manifold in years to come and Ministry of Defence will ensure that the Shipping sector of the Country gets the necessary assistance in growth.

Parrikar was speaking at a session on Shipbuilding, Ship Repair and Ship Breaking at the Maritime India Summit 2016.

He said that the maritime sector is crucial from the defence point of view. He said that the Defence Ministry is process to sign MoU with Shipping Ministry to device ways to help ship yards in the Country.

Parrikar said that 'Till now, the Defence Ministry did not rope in the shipping sector in defence projects, since the orders could not be met in time due to financial constraints of shipping sector. The main objective of the MoU is to ensure that defence orders given to private shipyards are met in time.'

With new approach, the Defence Ministry will be instrumental in generating millions of jobs in the maritime sector over next couple of years.

He said that Government is proactively working to exploit the vast coast line having infinite opportunities.

Ship repair is one of the focus areas, wherein Defence Ministry is willing to outsource naval repairs to help in growth, Parrikar added.

नई दिल्ली। आर्थिक विकास की रफ्तार बढ़ाने के लिए सरकार ने अपनी योजनाओं और नीतियों को एक दूसरे से जोड़कर उसका लाभ उठाने की योजना बनायी है। इसके तहत मेक इन इंडिया और एसईजेड को पैकेज नीति के रूप में देख रही है। इसका लाभ यह होगा कि न केवल मेक इन इंडिया को बल मिलेगा बल्कि सुप्त अवस्था में पड़े एसईजेड को भी फिर से पुनर्जीवित किया जा सकेगा। दरअसलए सरकार मेक इन इंडिया को एसईजेड से पूरी तरह जोड़ कर देख रही है। मुख्यतरू निर्यात को प्रोत्साहित करने के उद्देश्य से शुरू किये गए एसईजेड को मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग क्षेत्र से जोड़कर उनका संपूर्ण लाभ लेने की कोशिश सरकार कर रही है। इसके तहत मेक इन इंडिया के तहत मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग के क्षेत्र में प्रस्तावित नई इकाइयों को एसईजेड में स्थापित करने का विचार है। वाणिज्य व उद्योग मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण ने दैनिक जागरण के साथ बातचीत में कहा कि सही मायनों में निर्यात के मामले में आज भी एसईजेड बेहतरीन काम कर रहे है। लेकिन उन्हें केवल निर्यात योग्य इकाइयों तक सीमित करने से उनके पास उपलब्ध विशाल लैड बैक का पूरा लाभ नहीं उठाया जा सका है। मेक इन इंडिया के तहत लगने वाली इकाइयों को इस जमीन का फायदा मिल सकता है। हाल ही में बोर्ड आफ ट्रेड की बैठक में भी एसईजेड के भरपूर इस्तेमाल पर विस्तार से चर्चा की गई थी। बैठक में एसईजेड को पुनर्जीवित करने को लेकर फैसला भी हुआ था। इसी कड़ी में अब मेक इन इंडिया के साथ एसईजेड को जोडऩे का काम शुरू किया जा रहा है। वाणिज्य व उद्योग मंत्रालय के सूत्रों के मुताबिक नई औद्योगिक इकाइयों को एसईजेड में लगाने की अनुमति देने से कंपनियों के लिए जमीन अधिग्र्रहण की समस्या भी काफी हद तक कम हो जाएगी। पहले ही मोदी सरकार एसईजेड में गैर मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग क्षेत्र में इकाइयों के विस्तार को अनुमति देकर इनके व्यापक उपयोग का रास्ता खोल चुकी है। मंत्रालय की राय है कि एसईजेड में नई इकाइयों को स्थापित कर उन्हें निर्यात और

घरेलू मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग दोनों नियमों के दायरे में शामिल किया जा सकता है। मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग इकाई से होने वाले निर्यात की मात्रा पर निर्यात लाभ मिले और घरेलू बाजार के लिए होने वाले उत्पादन पर उत्पाद शुल्क लगाया जा सकता है। हालांकि अभी इस पर कोई अंतिम फैसला नहीं हुआ है। लेकिन यदि ऐसा होता है तो न केवल एसईजेड में खाली पड़ी जमीन का इस्तेमाल हो पाएगा बल्कि मेक इन इंडिया के तहत मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग को बढ़ावा देने की सरकार की कोशिश भी सफल हो सकेगी। मेक इन इंडिया की घोषणा के बाद चीन से मोबाइल कंपनियों के अलावा ट्रक निर्माणए इलेक्ट्रानिक्स और कैमिकल क्षेत्र में भी सरकार को कई प्रस्ताव मिले है। छोटे ट्रक बनाने वाली चीन की एक कंपनी का प्रस्ताव पुणे के पास प्लांट लगाने का है।

आंध्र प्रदेश के दुगराजापट्टनम में बनाए जाएंगे। इन बंदरगाहों के निर्माण पर क्रमशः 6 हजार करोड़, 9 हजार करोड़, 11 हजार करोड़ और 6 हजार करोड़ रुपये का खर्च आ सकता है। ‘उन्होंने कहा कि इन प्रोजेक्ट्स को पब्लिक प्राइवेट पार्टनरशिप (पीपीपी) के तहत पूरा किया जाएगा। इसके अतिरिक्त, तूतीकोरिन में वीओसी पोर्ट और ओड़िशा के पारादीप में आउटर हार्बर प्रोजेक्ट्स का भी प्रस्ताव है। इन पर 11 हजार करोड़ रुपये और 5 हजार करोड़ का खर्च आ सकता है।

नितिन गडकरी ने वेस्टर्न पेरिफेरल एक्सप्रेसवे के मानेसर-पलवल खंड का उद्धाटन किया

हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल खट्टर और सामाजिक न्याय एवं अधिकारिता राज्य मंत्री श्री कृष्ण पाल की उपस्थिति में केंद्रीय सड़क परिवहन और राजमार्ग एवं नौवहन मंत्री नितिन गडकरी ने कुंडली-मानेसर-पलवल एक्सप्रेस के मानेसरपलवल खंड का उद्घाटन किया। इस अवसर पर संबोधित करते हुए गडकरी ने कहा कि यह परियोजना पहले कई वर्षों तक ठंडे बस्ते में पड़ी रही। हालांकि केंद्र और हरियाणा सरकार ने आपसी बातचीत कर मुद्दों को सुलझाया और एक्सप्रेसवे के 52.33 किमी लंबे खंड को रिकार्ड ग्यारह महीने में पूरा किया गया। उन्होंने कहा कि पूर्वी और पश्चिमी पेरिफेरल एक्सप्रेसवे की परियोजना को पूरा करने का लक्ष्य, परियोजना शुरू होने से 400 दिनों का रखा गया है। जैसे ही दो पेरिफेरल एक्सप्रेस तैयार हो जाएंगे तो दिल्ली के यातायात भीड़ में 50 प्रतिशत की कमी आ जाएगी, प्रदूषण का स्तर कम हो जाएगा तथा इस श्रेत्र के किसानों, व्यापारियों और लोगों को बेहतर कनेक्टिविटी से लाभ मिलेगा। श्री गडकरी ने गांवों, गरीब लोगों, किसानों और मजदूरों की हालत में सुधार लाने के उद्देश्य से शुरू की गई नीतियों को पूरा करने वाली अपनी सरकार की प्रतिबद्धता को दोहराया। उन्होंने कहा कि मजबूत बुनियादी ढांचे विकास को बढ़ावा देने में एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। उन्होंने कहा कि आज हम प्रति दिन 20 किलोमीटर सड़क निर्माण कर रहे हैं। एक्सप्रेसवे के मानेसर-पलवल खंड को 457.81 करोड़ रुपये की लागत से बनाया गया है। यह छह लेन का होगा। यह दिल्ली-जयपुर मानेसर के पास राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग 8, पलवल-सोहना-रेवाड़ी राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग 919, सोहना-नूहअलवर रोड राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग 248 ए को जोड़ते हुए अंत में पलवर के नजदीक राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग 2 से मिलेगा। यातायात के लिए बाईपास होने से दिल्ली में यातायात भीड़ कम होगी। इस सड़क मार्ग में कई अंडरपास, मवेशी अंडरपास मार्ग, कृषि वाहन अंडरपास पुल, पैदल पार पथ और भूमिगत पैदल मार्ग भी हैं। इस अवसर पर संबोधित करते हुए हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल खट्टर ने कहा कि इतने सालों तक हरियाणा के पास केवल चार राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग थे लेकिन पिछले डेढ़ साल के अंदर हरियाणा को 9 नए राष्ट्रीय मार्ग मिले हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि वेस्टर्न पेरिफेरल एक्सप्रेस का कुंडली-पलवल खंड का निर्माण कार्य इसी वर्ष के भीतर पूरा कर लिया जाएगा। इस अवसर पर उपस्थित सामाजिक न्याय एवं अधिकारिता राज्य मंत्री श्री कृष्ण पाल गुर्जर ने तेजी से इस परियोजना को पूरा करने के लिए हरियाणा सरकार की सराहना की।

केन्द्रीय सड़क परिवहन मंत्री नितिन गडकरी का वादा पूरा नहीं हो पाया जयपुर. केन्द्रीय सड़क परिवहन मंत्री नितिन गडकरी का वादा पूरा नहीं हो पाया है। जयपुरदिल्ली छह लेन सड़क का काम मार्च तक पूरा होने का वादा किया गया था, लेकिन एेसा नहीं हो सका। आज तक भी जयपुर-दिल्ली हाईवे का काम पूरा नहीं हो सका है और अभी अगले एक-दो माह में यह काम पूरा होता नजर भी नहीं आ रहा। अब भी सड़क कई जगह से टूटी पड़ी है। नितिन गडकरी अक्टूबर, 2015 में सड़क मार्ग से दिल्ली से कोटपूतली तक आए थे और कहा था कि दिसम्बर में वह इस सड़क का उद्घाटन करेंगे, मार्च 2016 तक सड़क का काम पूरी तरह से हो जाएगा और जयपुर से दिल्ली के बीच लगने वाला यात्रा का समय भी साढ़े तीन घंटे रह जाएगा। गडकरी के तीनों वादे ही पूरे नहीं हो सके। राजस्थान सीमा में ही कई जगह काम चल रहा है। शाहपुरा हो या कोटपूतली, कहीं भी काम पूरा नहीं हुआ है।

ढाई साल का काम, सात साल में अधूरा

इस 225 किलोमीटर लम्बे हाईवे का काम 2009 में शुरु हुआ था और इसे ढाई साल में पूरा हो जाना था, लेकिन एेसा नहीं हो सका। हां यह जरूर हुआ कि लोगों से टोल वसूली लगातार जारी रही। सुप्रीम कोर्ट की नाराजगी के चलते बीच में टोल नहीं बढ़ाया गया, लेकिन पिछले वर्ष फिर से टोल बढ़ा दिया गया। प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय के दखल के बाद पिछले डेढ वर्षों में काम में थोड़ी तेजी दिखाई दी है, लेकिन अभी भी जो वादे किए जा रहे हैं। वह समय पर पूरे नहीं हो पा रहे हैं। गडकरी ने कहा था कि मानेसर, धारूहेड़ा, बहरोड़, कोटपूतली, पावटा, शाहपुरा में बाईपास भी बनाए जाएंगे। इसकी फिजिबिलिटी रिपोर्ट भी तैयार करवाई जा रही है। सवाल यह है कि जब सड़क निर्माण का काम सात साल बाद भी पूरा नहीं हो सका तो क्या इस सड़क का कार्यकाल उस समय तक पूरा पाएगा, जब तक सम्बन्धित कंपनी को टोल वसूलने की अनुमति दी हुई है।

अब देश के सभी हाईवे से स्पीड ब्रेकर हटाने के निर्देश

नई दिल्ली। परिवहन मंत्रालय ने सभी राज्य सरकारों से हाईवे पर स्पीड ब्रेकर हटाने को कहा है जिससे सामान्य परिचालन में दिक्कत आती है। मंत्रालय ने इस मामले पर सभी राज्यों से रिपोर्ट मांगी है। मंत्रालय ने उन सभी स्पीड ब्रेकर की भी जानकारी मांगी है जिसे अनुमति के बाद बनाया गया है। एक खबर के मुताबिक मंत्रालय द्वारा साल 2014 की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार 4726 लोगों की मौत सड़क पर एक दूसरे की गाड़ी से हुए एक्सिडेंट से हुई जबकि 6672 लोगों की मौत सड़क पर बने स्पीड ब्रेकर या अवरोधों की वजह से हुई।

मंत्रालय द्वारा हाल में जारी किए गए सर्कुलर के मुताबिक निशानिर्देशों के बावजूद कई जगहों पर स्थानीय प्रशासन वाहन की गति की जांच के लिए सड़कों पर अवरोधक या स्पीड ब्रेकर लगा देते है। सर्कुलर के मुताबिक हाईवे पर स्पीड ब्रेकर कई गंभीर सड़क हादसों का कारण हो सकता है।

पीपीपी में रेलवे को मिली कामयाबी नई दिल्ली। पीपीपी परियोजनाओं में लंबी नाकामी झेलने के बाद आखिरकार रेलवे ने इन परियोजनाओं में कामयाबी का परचम लहरा दिया है। गत पांच वर्षों में तकरीबन 14 हजार करोड़ की 20 परियोजनाओं के सफल क्रियान्वयन के बाद तकरीबन इतनी ही लागत की इतनी ही नई परियोजनाओं पर काम शुरू हो चुका है या होने वाला है। इनमें 5693 करोड़ रुपये की सात संयुक्त उद्यम परियोजनाएं, 2236 करोड़ रुपये की चार कस्टमर फंडेड परियोजनाएं तथा 3016 करोड़ रुपये की तीन एन्यूटी परियोजनाएं शामिल हैं। इसके अलावा 3078 करोड़ रुपये की छह परियोजनाओं को सैद्धांतिक मंजूरी दी जा चुकी है। धन की तंगी को देखते हुए रेलवे अपनी परियोजनाओं के क्रियान्वयन के विभिन्न तरीके अपना रहा है। इनमें सार्वजनिक-निजी भागीदारी यानी पीपीपी तथा संयुक्त उद्यम का तरीका प्रमुख है। पीपीपी परियोजनाओं से जुड़े रेलवे के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी के अनुसार रेलवे ने अगले पांच वर्षों के लिए साढ़े आठ लाख करोड़ रुपये के निवेश की योजना तैयार की है। इसमें एक बड़ा हिस्सा पीपीपी परियोजनाओं तथा राज्यों के साथ भागीदारी का होगा। तकरीबन 17 राज्य सरकारों ने रेलवे के साथ भागीदारी में रुचि दिखाई है इनमें से उड़ीसा, कर्नाटक, छत्तीसगढ़, महाराष्ट्र आदि के साथ समझौते भी हो चुके हैं। इनमें ज्यादातर नई लाइनों, दोहरीकरण, तिहरीकरण, विद्युतीकरण तथा बंदरगाह व खदान संपर्क परियोजनाएं शामिल हैं। अधिकारी के अनुसार पिछले तीन सालों में पीपीपी व अन्य भागीदारी परियोजनाओं में विशेष तेजी आई है। ऐसा ऐसी परियोजनाओं के बारे में पांच प्रकार के फ्रेमवर्क मॉडल तथा मॉडल कन्सेशन एग्रीमेंट (एमसीए) तैयार किए जाने तथा उन्हें सार्वजनिक किए जाने से संभव हुआ है। इनमें नॉन गवर्नमेंट रेलवे मॉडल, ज्वाइंट वेंचर मॉडल, बिल्ड, आपरेट व ट्रांसफर (बीओटी) मॉडल, कस्टमर फंडिंग मॉडल तथा एन्यूटी मॉडल शामिल हैं। वर्ष 2002 से 2014 के दौरान 3153 करोड़ रुपये की पोर्ट कनेक्टिविटी (मुख्य लाइनों से बंदरगाहों तक ब्रांच लाइनें बिछाने) से संबंधित कुल 1030 किलोमीटर लंबी आठ परियोजनाओं का सफलतापूर्वक कार्यान्वयन किया गया था। इनके जरिए सबसे पहले पीपावाव तथा मुंद्रा बंदरगाह को रेलवे लाइनों से जोड़ा गया। जबकि उसके बाद हासनमंगलूर, गांधीधाम-पालनपुर तथा भड़ौच-दाहेज के बीच आमान परिवर्तन परियोजनाओं का क्रियान्वयन किया गया। जबकि अब नारगोल, छर्रा, दीघी, रेवास तथा तूना व हजीरा बंदरगाहों के लिए पीपीपी मॉडल पर संपर्क लाइनें बिछाने की योजनाओं पर काम हो रहा है। आने वाले समय में 400 रेलवे स्टेशनों के अलावा 10 गुड्स शेड्स का विकास भी निजी क्षेत्र के सहयोग से करने का प्रस्ताव है। इसमें देशी और विदेशी दोनों तरह की कंपनियों के भाग लेने की संभावना है। तकरीबन दो दर्जन रेलवे स्टेशनों साथ मल्टीमोडल कांप्लेक्स का निर्माण भी पीपीपी के जरिए किया जा रहा है।

कर्नाटक में NH63 के होसपेटबेल्लारी सेक्शन को चार लेन की मंजूरी

समुद्र तटवर्ती राज्यों में पांच नए बंदरगाह विकसित किए जाएंगे

प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी की अध्यक्षता में मंत्रीमंडल की आर्थिक मामलों की समिति ने कर्नाटक में होसपेट-बेल्लारी-कर्नाटक/ आंध्र प्रदेश सीमा पर राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग-63 को चार लेन के रूप में विकसित करने की मंजूरी दे दी। यह कार्य राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग विकास परियोजना (एनएचडीपी) चरण चार के अंतर्गत किया जाएगा। यह मंजूरी इंजीनियरिंग, प्राप्ति तथा निर्माण (ईपीसी) आधार पर दी गई है। परियोजना का अनुमानित लागत 1621.96 करोड़ रुपए है और इसमें भूमि अधिग्रहण, पुर्नवास तथा निर्माण पूर्व गतिविधियां शामिल हैं। सड़क की कुल लंबाई अनुमातः 95.37 किलोमीटर होगी। अनुमान है कि राजमार्ग के एक किलोमीटर के निर्माण में 4,076 मानव दिवस लगेंगे। इस तरह स्थानीय आधार पर निर्माण अवधि के दौरान अनुमातः 3,88,728 मानव दिवस की रोजगार क्षमता होगी। परियोजना का मुख्य उद्देश्य कर्नाटक में तेजी से अवसंरचना विकास करना है। इस सड़क के निर्माण से राज्य के संबंधित क्षेत्र की सामाजिक-आर्थिक स्थिति सुधरेगी और स्थानीय श्रमिकों को रोजगार के अवसर मिलेगे।

मुंबई। मैरीटाइम इंडिया समिट 2016 का उद्घाटन करने के बाद अपने संबोधन में मोदी ने कहा कि वह 2025 तक भारत में बंदरगाहों की क्षमता को मौजूदा 1,400 लाख टन से बढ़ाकर 3,000 लाख टन तक ले जाना चाहते हैं। मोदी ने देश के 7,500 किलोमीटर लंबे समुद्री तट को विकास का नया माध्यम बताते हुए बंदरगाहों पर एक लाख करोड़ रुपयों के निवेश की उम्मीद जताई। देश की निरंतर बढ़ती अर्थव्यवस्था में व्यापार की जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए नए बंदरगाह चाहिए। प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि भारत में जलमार्ग विकास की नीति अपनाने का यह सही समय है। समुद्र तटवर्ती राज्यों में पांच नए बंदरगाह विकसित किए जाएंगे। मोदी ने डॉ. भीमराव अंबेडकर की जयंती पर उन्हें स्मरण करते हुए कहा कि वह संविधान ही नहीं, बल्कि भारत में जल मार्ग के भी प्रथम नीति निर्माता थे। अंबेडकर के सपनों को पूरा करने के लिए जहाजरानी मंत्रालय ने

Yet another Slump in the Indian Export MERCHANDISE TRADE EXPORTS & IMPORTS : (US $ Million) (PROVISIONAL)

We, Logistics Reckoner, have been keeping a close eye on the falling export and the situation has gone beyond the warning levels. With over one year of falling export on the trot, we have to announce yet another fluctuation in the Indian Export.

Export last month, (March 2016) was reported at around US$ 22718 million which is US$ 24,032 million; 5.47 lower compared to export of March 2015. However, this number has increased if we focus on amount in Rupees. In our currency, the export in March 2015 were Rs.150082 which raised to Rs.152264. This is actually because of the changed value of US dollar. In March 2015, 1 dollar was valued around Rs. 62; but in March 2016, dollar is valued at nearly Rs.66.

Cumulative value of exports for the period April-March 2015-16 was US$ 261136.80 million (Rs.1708841.43 crore) as against US$ 310338.47 million (Rs.1896348.40 crore) registering a negative growth of 15.85 per cent in Dollar terms and 9.89 per cent in Rupee terms over the same period last year.

Non-petroleum exports in March 2016 are valued at US$ 20639.78 million against US$ 21386.48 million in March 2015, a reduction of 3.49 per cent. Nonpetroleum exports during April to March 2016 are valued at US$ 231952.95 million as compared to US$ 253544.33 million for the corresponding period in 2015, a reduction of 8.52 per cent.

The trend of falling exports is in tandem with other major world economies. The growth in exports have fallen for USA (10.81 per cent), European Union (7.40 per cent), China (11.37 per cent) and Japan (12.85 per cent) for January 2016 over the corresponding period previous year as per WTO statistics.

Steps to beat the inefficiencies in Road Transport

With a Single Unified GST across India, logistics and distribution costs could go down by almost a tenth. This will be a direct result of consolidation of stockyards and creation of hubs in arterial locations, rather than having to develop stockages in every state due to differing tax regimes.

the country.

In my previous article, I highlighted the issues related to inefficiencies in the Road Transport Eco-system. In this article I will focus on ways to ensure a strong and robust road transport system.

Steps towards a Robust Road Transport Ecosystem 1) Prudent & Pragmatic Policy Initiatives by the Government To augment capacity and service speeds significantly. Archaic laws, regressive rules, regulations and policies must be done away with and out of box solutions be implemented in consonance with Road Transport Sector. l Revision of Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): With advance technology vehicles in the industry the age old prescribed GVW be revised so that capacity of the rolling stock is augmented. l The notion of 'end of life of vehicle' capping at 15 years will render the road operations economically unviable.

There is no scientific study which correlates age of vehicles with emissions which depends upon the Quality of Fuel or the Condition of Engine. Why not only the engine is retrofitted instead of scrapping the whole truck body, which does not emit any fumes?

2) Industry Status to Road Transport Sector The government may consider according to the industry status for road transportation so that transporters can avail the benefits of being part of an industry. Lack of it makes it difficult for transporters to raise capital and debt through organized banking and financial channels.

Barrier Free Seamless Movement of the Vehicles across the Country: Make Barrier Free India – ALL CHECKPOSTS & TOLL PLAZAS BE REMOVED Average truck speed is approximately 50% lower than the global average.

According to EOS Intelligence, truck delays currently average five-to-seven

65

hours at interstate checkpoints. A 2008 study report IIM-C provides startling fact of exorbitant loss to Indian Economy due to delays at Toll Plazas and Check Posts pegged at Rs. 87,000 crores annually, if we extrapolate it as of now it would be around 1 lac crore. Huge amount of Diesel and precious foreign exchange spent to purchase crude oil is wasted because of this regressive policy.

The industry is ready to pay Toll as 'Shadow Tolling' over and above Road Tax, National Permit Fees, Rs 6/- Cess on Diesel and Petrol and Entry Fees charged by the States.

4) USE OF TECHNOLOGY & E – GOVERNANCE The integration of GPS, GIS and ICT into transportation services and vehicle technologies is fostering a steadily closer conversation and interface between vehicles, infrastructure and people. These technologies and services are termed ITS or Intelligent Transportation Systems and are helping governments and agencies around the world to better mine data, plan, maintain and improve mobility services with the aim to reduce congestion and pollution.

Simplified Taxation: Multiple Taxation and cumbersome procedures for it compliance is also taking a toll of this sector. Tax regime must be centrally managed and uniformly implemented across

''ABOLISHING TRANSIT PASS REGIME Currently, each of India's 29 states taxes goods that move across their borders at different rates. As a result, freight that moves across the country is taxed multiple times. Worse, there are long delays at inter-state checkpoints, as state authorities review and examine freight and apply the relevant taxes and other levies.

Truck delays average five-to-seven hours at inter-state checkpoints. This, combined with other delays, keep trucks from moving during 60% of the entire transit time.

With a Single Unified GST across India, logistics and distribution costs could go down by almost a tenth. This will be a direct result of consolidation of stockyards and creation of hubs in arterial locations, rather than having to develop stockages in every state due to differing tax regimes.

Promoting & Incentivizing Multimodal Transport System: Multi-modal transportation involving rail and road that not only reduce transportation costs through economies of scale, but that also saves precious fuel may be encouraged, where the last mile connectivity would be provided by road.

INADEQUATE PARKING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES: There is utter lack of basic wayside amenities like secured parking lots, laybyes, drinking water, toilet blocks, hygienic food joints, rest rooms, etc even though it is one of the major obligation in the Model Concessionaire Agreement.

We intend to develop Truck Terminal for the truckers, transporters, agents, goods owners etc. with needful infrastructure.

'The eyes of the world are on india, an economic power that is steadily growing in strength and influence. Overcoming its road transportation handicaps and engendering efficiencies in it is vital if the country is to realize Modi Ji's vision.'

Executive Coaching for Results The field of executive coaching is growing at an astonishing rate.

Corporations are increasingly turning to coaching as an intervention, as it offers leaders and managers both on-the-job learning and built-in follow-up. Human resource and leadership development practitioners must wade through a wilderness of conflicting information about when to use coaching, how to do it well, and how to evaluate the costeffectiveness and success of any coaching intervention.

Executive Coaching for Results helps this critical leadership development technique come of age.

This is not a how-to-coach book— there are already plenty of those— but rather a comprehensive guide on how to strategically use coaching to maximize development of talent and link the impact of coaching to bottomline results. Underhill, McAnally, and Koriath draw on their rigorous original research with Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies such as Dell, Sony, Johnson & Johnson, Disney, Unilever, Wal-Mart, and many others to cover topics like coaching as part of an overall leader­ship development strategy.

The Air Logistics Handbook Why study air cargo? Consider that this sector moves only 2% of the global volume of goods but a huge 35% by value, reserved for the most costly and time-sensitive products.

Air logistics is an economically and strategically important industry, and a rich source of opportunity for graduating students and logistics or SCM professionals.

Get a head start in this vital part of your business with this comprehensive and lively overview.

It’s the only book available to focus on the role of air freight in the global supply chain. It includes a brief history; the functions of the various players in the industry (forwarders, airlines, airports, government agencies); regulations and restrictions; terrorism management.

It details the benefits of air transport, and weighs them against its considerable environmental impact to explore the question of its sustainability. Finally, it considers the future of the industry in a dynamic and increasingly globalised world.

Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Life Cycle Management Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Life Cycle Management: Corporate, Community and Organizational Planning and Preparedness is organized into two thematic sections. Section I defines and classifies hazardous materials and covers the U.S. regulatory framework and standards governing the transport and use of such materials.

Section II examines institutional and organizational program elements and provides guidelines for developing these programs to reduce liability and risk while lowering point-source pollution and total hazardous waste production.

The logistics approach to hazardous materials yields exponential benefits in costs and the reduction or elimination of such materials. It limits organizational liability and, at the same time, reduces the costs associated with hazardous waste management and disposal. This book serves as an integrative reference offering a better understanding of hazardous materials use, life cycle management, consumption, and waste reduction at a holistic, strategic level.
