Cover story
Logistics industry has always been an underdog, and has not achieved the much deserved attention yet. The sector is full of potential, but we are still lacking optimal utilization of resources. However, we can see a rapid hike in demand and awareness of the sector this year. We can see a lot of startups entering the sector offering services like never before. With the advancements in technologies we can surely say that there’s a lot more to come. Logistics plays a vital role in strengthening the economy. It is the lifeline for every
other commercial sector. The sector is evolving at a fast pace and infrastructure, and technologies are paving new paths towards growth. India has jumped 19 places in the World Bank’s Logistics performance Index, from 54th place to 35th. This was announced by the World Bank Group in the recent launch of its report. With a huge jump of 19 places, India has crossed many countries like New Zealand, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Iceland, Latvia and Indonesia who were ahead of it in the index.

Monsoon India is mainly an agricultural country with over 70% of its people directly related to farming. To sustain agriculture the land requires adequate rainfall each season. Hence, annual rainfall is of prime importance. A normal rainfall this year could prompt the government to ease cutbacks on its export policy. We can expect this because we have witnessed this in past. In the years 2010 and 2011, due to a good monsoon the Indian government had eased curb on export of rice and wheat which was good for the economic growth. The production of oil seeds and grains gets a boost when rainfall is normal. A good crop indirectly curbs inflation. Monsoon is essential for quite a few crops in India. Kharif crop which is sown in

मानसून March depends on monsoon rains. States of Gujarat and Rajasthan sow peanuts just before the rains arrive. If rains do not arrive in time or are scanty the crop fails. This is also the season for paddy plantation in Uttar Pradesh. Paddy is dependent on rainfall for good harvesting. Monsoon influences many other crops across the country. Soya bean, sugarcane, cotton, rice and millet are some of the crops that flourish when rainfall is good. As we can see India is having a good monsoon season this year, with above average rains. We can surely expect a hike in agricultural production and also an increase in their transportation, export etc. Players in this sector can contemplate the future and keep a keen eye on this to monetize the situation.
cost was around 8-12 percent.Stressing that such a situation was not good for the country, he said it was less expensive and complicated to take goods from Mumbai to London than from Mumbai to Delhi. The minister further said his aim was to reduce logistic cost from 18 percent to 12 percent, adding, "it will help increase exports and create more employment potential in the country and add to the GDP." It is a clear and open invitation for people to come up with their ideas which could change the logistics sector inside out. It is time to use your imagination, create an out of the box plan, and implement it. There are many startups claiming to have new and fresh ways which can lower the total cost and raise the efficiency of logistics who can grab this opportunity and make the best of it.

It will also pave the way to bring more speed and efficiency to the system. With many technological interventions such as electronic toll-collection systems for faster toll crossing and reduced requirement of paperwork, strong disruptions will be observed in this sector with increased adoption of technology. . Moreover, with upgradation of road infrastructure, cargo handling will also witness a significant shift from air-based to surface-based transport. Overall this will result in achieving better infrastructural utilisation, boosting overall feasibility of the network, and improving the bottom line. All these developments will result in creation of new line of products by logistics companies based on differentiated SLAs, flexibility in operations, cost of operations and visibility of operations, which will be a key driver to increase top-lines of logistics companies. Technology will also bring more efficient risk assessment and greater control over the company. The advantages of introducing technology are manifold as it helps to run differentiated and flexible operations leading to competitive advantages and increased consumer satisfaction. It will also assist companies to attain a higher degree of personalisation in their consumer offerings. The field of logistics and supply chain management will become more lucrative as a career option. With new opportunities emerging in the field, women will play a larger role in this sector, which is currently being dominated by men. Supply chain management and logistics education and certification will gain more focus and acceptability.

not able to, due to India Logistics Market Limitations? Supply chain speed and flexibility have become two key levers for competitive differentiation and increased profitability. Within a global trade environment, one of the biggest challenges is the ability to manage seamless forward and backward flows of material and information. Globalization, development of information and communication technologies, as well as supply chain network optimization is reshaping trade flows. Some of the Challenges: Poor infrastructure and transport vehicles: Poor infrastructure and transport vehicles are a major hindrance. Although freight movement in India is increasing at 10 per cent a year, the infrastructure capacity is not being augmented, or better managed to meet the growing demand. As a result, performance declines and costs rise. Complex Tax laws : The complex tax laws on the implementa-

tion of VAT that vary across the states are another major concern for 3PLs. Another tax issue that is discouraging the 3PLs in India is the service tax on warehousing. Hence it may be cost effective for a company to keep warehousing as an inhouse activity, as outsourcing this activity means factoring in the service tax. Technology: Compared with the equipment and technologies used in developed countries, those used in India are not comparable in terms of sophistication. Besides, these are still very costly in India and many a time do not make economic sense to integrate. Lack of training and trained personnel: There is a complete lack of training in logistics in India with no dedicated institutions for the cause. This is an area that needs to be addressed. We need to build skills within our people in order for them to find work. In the future, the logistics outsourcing industry will be more global, diversified and concentrated. With the help of state-of-the-art technologies, more 3PLs will be gearing up to meet the demand growth and improve their services offerings by incorporating newer value-added services and customizing their supply chain management solutions. 5) Would you like to share any quote which has inspired you? It can be your own, or someone else's too. There are so many inspirational quotes that fly around these days. I read one the other day and I do not know who came up with it but I feel it is quite apt especially in today's context. When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. People tend to easily give up on what inspired them in the past if it isn't working for them in the present. When you choose a career or path it is importent dwelling on the past
logistics reckoner i AUGUST, 2016
but never lose sight of what made yochoose your life's work in the first place. 6) Who is your Mentor? If you could become like someone, who would that be? You may find this surprising but my mentor happens to be my business partner Uday Palsule who is also a very dear friend. We have had a long relationship and have never had any conflicts or felt the need to challenge each other. Many have told us to challenge each other in order to excel. We have honored each other's individuality in business and never questioned the decisions that each has taken. I would say that only because we owe the success of our company in large part to his incredible intelligence and patience. 7) At what age you started working and which was the first company you joined? I first started working when I was in college at the age of 17. I would put in a half day of work with my father in his business. When I completed my under-grad studies, I joined my father in his trading business.
8) Can you describe your journey (In short) from your First job to Spear Logistics Managing Director? It's been an interesting journey for sure and I could write a book on my experiences! Maybe someday. As I said, I worked with my father for a couple of years and then joined a company selling products that were used for construction. Joined my family business again for a couple of years and then received an offer from a business family in Pune to set up and head their new 3PL company in 1992. I had no experience or idea of what contract logistics was but dove right in. We, the promoters and I, learnt on the job and were lucky to have a client that taught us along the way. I also met Uday during my stint there. After almost eight years, I moved on to join a multinational freight forwarding company that wanted to establish its contract logistics business in India. I left them after a couple of years sometime in 2001 and we then started Spear Logistics with a small contract and have never looked back since.

Global Economic powerhouse within next ten years of time period, so it is implied that with economic growth operational environment and several other trends and designs need to be restructured. Keeping all these aspects live in our mind we have to make the living of smart cities with high quality, selfsustainable and mostly live with the nature i.e. without disturbing the nature. It has been seen that infrastructure to support the growing populations in these smart cities often lacking either due to budget or unplanned expansion or geographical constraint or accumulation of key requisites at one place. Our population has already dense and it is continue to increasing in numbers. As a result, the demands for housing, basic infrastructure, transportation, water, power, sewer,
and other basic urban services are touching sky. In addition to this, growing number of vehicles in urban areas are results in traffic, congestion, air and noise pollutions, water pollutions & scarcity, accident, which adversely impact safety & quality of our life as well economic competitiveness The smart cities has announced recently as a way of addressing these issues using state of Art infrastructure, information & communication technology and social information. This will be mainly based on mobile technology, real time visibility, IoT (Internet of Things) based approach to solve dynamic logistic problems and optimizing quality of service in entire supply chain management with planned investment to make it faster and more connected across all the modes to drive this at a larger scale and in more consolidated way. The problem of these cities are mainly today due to its population and along with that its logistics requirements. It is combination of People walking on the road or using rickshaw or auto rickshaw or their own cycle or motorcycle or taxi or own car, tempo / 1 MT vehicle / VAN / 3MT/ 7MT / 10MT / 20 trailer / 40 feet trailer. Each of one these have their own characteristics and demands to move on. Now a days, we can see many articles over internet that in urban areas up to 20% of traffic and 50% of greenhousegas emissions are generated by freight business and above on that our growing population adding up another load. In city like Varanasi the constituency of our PM, an old pilgrim city, key destination for domestic tourist & international tourist, suffering from huge traffic. Sometimes in evening traffic is so pathetic that people who are riding with cycle take half an hour time to ride 300m stretch. And it is better if we don't ask here about noise and air

pollution. So we need to have more focus to implement smart logistics to control and development of residential, Industrial & corporate infrastructure at the same time considering economic competitiveness. Approx 50% of logistics can be taken care by right infrastructure development and rest other by way of Smart Logistics. Logistics has a significant impact in Smart cities in terms with the environment, quality of life, road safety and fascinating effects of the city – and it influences citizens decisions to walk or cycle or bus or pool car or to take own car instead. For logistics Service Providers, who deliver goods to customers, optimizing quality of service, e.g., ensuring on-time delivery at reasonable cost is a major concern. This is demanding the optimization of truck loading and vehicle routing leading to consolidation and collaboration of entire Supply Chain Management. The nature of logistics is dynamic—orders or cancellations may be made at any time, and transportation difficulties may arise at any time. Isn't it? Solution of vehicle routing problems in conjunction with truck load optimisation is very attractive in just in time distribution context. Indeed the
inventory can be close to zero. Despite the advantages of just in time distribution, in particular, cost reduction, this technique may reflect weakness in the logistic chain in case of failures. So, how it can be resolved in smart cities to make the city really smart is subject to brainstorming workouts. Logistics is not limited to only Land Transportation by Trucks but have many services like waste management, recycle management, parcel and courier services, material for construction sites, plus many other services like laundry, Pest control, e-commerce delivery of ready to eat foods
29
etc. And similarly to execute these services many different parties are involved in the city like city authorities, civilian, law & order management people, visitors, tourists, manufacturer of goods, shippers, receivers of goods (retailer as well as end users), and transport operators. Their interests can be very different, but bring them on same concept of smart logistics increase the awareness before developing the city, incentivise their services and have dialogue with them can be very helpful to achieve right storage and distribution efficiency, which creates a win-win situation for all parties involved. Collaborative logistics management brings many service provider & stakeholders together and is an essential part of smart logistics: we will try to find the distribution management tools that cities can use to make logistics smart and sustainable. The vast growth of e-commerce industry, home delivery, order on phone, automated kiosk, service at wish, are pushing the limits of existing logistics network designs. More & more companies are experiencing issues related to last mile delivery of goods. So, Logistics networks will need to support smartly, increased intensity of deliveries, coordinate multiple

E-comm. Home Delivery: In a smart city, for home deliveries, multiple delivery attempts can be eliminated by having a pick-up point at each society near to security gate. This is not a new concept but can be made mandatory in each society of Smart City. It could be made further smarter if there is 1 Pick-Up points in radius of 2 to 3 KM with state of art facilities for all kind of parcel delivery depending on the average volume, we have post-offices today but with it should be state of art infrastructure to meet various kinds of needs and control a limited number of human traffic based on numbers of houses in that radius. Distribution of Fresh product: This is always a challenge to deliver a fresh product and allows a retailer to have more no of days to sell their product. But this can be avoided in smart cities by allowing fixed no of shops in a particular territory and allowing fixed no of cold storage in particular city by maintaining a certain distance criteria so that none of retailers are far away by more than 1 hour travel time. This cold storage will be part of hybrid collaborative warehouse centre where all companies can keep all kind of products. Replenishment of stock will be based on point of sale data and retailers order to Hybrid Collaborative warehouse. RFID Tags & GPS System: Goods sold and to be delivered are identified by RFID tags, from Mother warehouse to Hybrid Collaborative warehouse centre at smart cities to pick up point or retail store to final end user.

Manufacturer can divert the vehicle by knowing real time product demand through various cluster and point of sales data. In case of problems with initial route the transporter can ask for a new route or can select new route based on options given by mobile technology subject to managers approval.
BiG Data uses in Logistics: Smart cities will be predominantly designed on basis of household data, Sensors, Cloud technology, IoT etc. to Balance SPEED, ACCURACY, SUSTAINABILITY, COMFORT and Economy of scale & good Governance. Big data is large sets of unstructured data, which can be collected in realtime, analysed or stored, managed, and further analysed with Smart City systems to facilitate public needs as well as use for good governance. Big data can also
be useful to define logistics strategies based on actual consumer patterns & consumptions. Logistics planner can use big data algorithms to fine tune route planning based on real-time in store sales (through point of sales data) & online sales & delivery location.
Collaborative Supply Chain: In childhood, parents used to teach about sharing and its benefit, which applicable at large scale too and in our logistics as well. 3PL industry has grown up due to one of this reason as well. The sharing of logistics, human and physical resources will help to optimise the serve ultimate customer.

Partner Logistics, Cambridgeshire This frozen food warehouse in England was built at a cost of ₏50 million, and more than 5 000 tons of steel were required to complete construction. Given that its roof stretches a dizzying 36m into the sky, the warehouse can store up to 77,000 pallets at any time, at temperatures as low as -27°C. As with many distribution centres of its kind, this cold storage warehouse is fully automated, which helps to reduce risk, save time and maintain the internal temperature. The warehouse was built for Lamb Weston Meijer, the potato processing giant.

US Army, Camp Carroll, South Korea While the military might not immediately strike one as a major player in the warehousing industry, the fact remains that even armies need a place to store their goods. Camp Carroll in South Korea boasts an area of more than 32 000m² and is used to store military vehicles, including Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and other vehicles comprising the Heavy Brigade Combat team. The twostorey warehouse is humidity controlled and will save the military millions of dollars in the future: Army vehicles are usually stored outside, which leads to annual repair costs of nearly $2 million.

Warehousing & Logistic industry needs a major sea change to combat untoward food grain crisis and to meet any food emergency in the world.
Warehousing & Logistic industry needs a major sea change to combat untoward food grain crisis and to meet any food emergency in the world. A huge gap between the demand and supply of logistics &,Warehousing services, which have been left unattended due to the unorganised nature of the market, has opened up many opportunities for players. However, increasing competition and introduction of global best practices by certain companies are forcing Indian businesses to rethink on the importance of warehousing processes and the resultant benefits of managing an efficient supply chain. Warehouses play a critical role in this process for reducing the losses in the food grains in India and hence were conventionally set up in 70s and 80s as

supply chain so that any major food grain crisis may not arise. But India Warehousing and logistic industry needs attention on the following matters to bring new and advanced thinking for achieving food grain sufficiency and to protect the Indian national from any unforseen drought or any unpredictable food grain crisis in the world. 1 Poor maintenance and no up gradation of storage technology is a giant barrier. 2 Use of solar energy for developing cool storage(not the cold storage) is the need of the time. 3 Use of radiation technology along with underground storage technology are still a far distant dream. 4 Mechanisation and automation are not gaining grounds because of unemployment and age old labour laws. 5 The losses in commodities are mainly attributed to poor infrastructure as well as insufficient storage infrastructure to the tune of 300,lakh MT. 6 Lack of manpower having knowledge of managing and maintaining premises. 7 in efficient scientific processes along with not following the principle of FIFA (first in first out) are the key reasons for the losses. 8 Beside no change in age old technologies as the insects and the other pests are becoming resistant to insecticides and fumigants day by day and progeny by progeny . 9 There is no research done, 10 There is no premier research institution for upgrading of technologies to reduce the losses.

कोलाचल में प्रमुख बंदरगाह के निर्माण को सरकार की हरी झंडी
एक जुलाई, 2016 को जवाहर लाल नेहरू पत्तन देश का कंटेनरों का लॉजिस्टिक डाटा चिन्ह्ति पहला बंदरगाह बन गया है। इस सुविधा से आयतक/निर्यातक लॉजिस्टिक डाटा बैंक सेवा के माध्यम से पारगमन में अपने सामान का पता लगा सकते हैं। प्रत्येक कंटेनर के साथ एक रेडियो फ्रीकवेंसी पहचान चिन्ह लगा होगा, जिसे विभिन्न स्थानों पर लगे रेडियो फ्रीकवेंसी पहचान चिन्ह रीडरों के माध्यम से पता लगाया जाएगा। इस सुविधा से एक्जिम कंटेनरों की आवाजाही दिखेगी और पारदर्शिता बढ़ेगी। इसमें रेल या सड़क मार्ग से पारगमन पर पूरे समय की निगरानी की जा सकेगी। यह निगरानी स्वदेशी कंटेनर डिपो और माल ढुलाई स्टेशन पहुंचने तक की जा सकेगी। इस सेवा से विभिन्न एजेंसियों को उपलब्ध सूचना एकीकृत होगी और वास्तविक समय पर सूचना मिलेगी। इससे पश्चिमी गलियारे में कंटेनर आवाजाही के समय में कमी होगी और कारोबारी लागत कम होगी। जवाहर लाल नेहरू पत्तन द्वारा कारोबारी सहायता की दिशा में की गई यह पहल महत्वपूर्ण है। कारोबार के समय और लागत में कमी आएगी।
कांडला बंदरगाह पर कार्गो संचालन में 6 फीसदी की बढ़ोतरी दर्ज
कांडला बंदरगाह ने वित्त वर्ष 2016-17 की प्रथम तिमाही के दौरान अपने यहां कुल यातायात में पिछले साल की समान अवधि के मुकाबले 6 फीसदी की वृद्धि दर्ज की है। अप्रैल, 2016 से लेकर जून, 2016 तक की अवधि के दौरान इस बंदरगाह पर कुल मिलाकर 26.03 एमएमटी कार्गो का संचालन किया गया, जबकि पिछले साल की समान अवधि में 24.62 एमएमटी कार्गो का संचालन किया गया था। कांडला बंदरगाह पर संचालित ड्राई कार्गो (सूखा माल) की मात्रा इस दौरान 88.69 लाख मीट्रिक टन (एमटी) से बढ़कर 90.45 लाख एमटी हो गई। इस तरह कांडला बंदरगाह पर संचालित लिक्विड कार्गो (तरल माल) की मात्रा 25.82 लाख एमटी से बढ़कर 31.55 लाख एमटी हो गई। वाडीनार पर क्रूड एवं पीओएल से जुड़ा यातायात भी 131.65 लाख एमटी से बढ़कर 138.30 लाख एमटी हो गया। शिपिंग मंत्रालय ने बंदरगाहों के प्रदर्शन में सुधार के लिए अनेक कदम उठाये हैं, जिनमें टर्मिनलों का यंत्रीकरण, टीएटी (जहाज पर से माल उतारने एवं लादने में लगने वाला समय) में बेहतरी, कार्गो की त्वरित निकासी, बुनियादी ढांचागत सुविधाओं का विस्तारीकरण और कर्मचारियों का कौशल विकास शामिल हैं।
नई दिल्ली। सरकार ने तमिलनाडु के कोलाचल के पास इनायम में एक बड़े बंदरगाह के निर्माण की अनुमति दे दी। इसकी अनुमानित लागत 25,000 करोड़ रुपए बैठेगी। केंद्रीय मंत्री नितिन गडकरी ने कहा है कि इससे कोलाचल बंदरगाह एक प्रमुख केंद्र बन जाएगा और क्षेत्र में व्यापार व मत्स्य पालन को बल मिलेगा। पोत परिवहन मंत्री गडकरी ने कहा, इनायम वैश्विक पूर्व-पश्चिम अंतरराष्ट्रीय व्यापार मार्ग है। रणनीतिक मार्ग में आने के बावजूद भारत में कोई पोतांतरण (ट्रांसशिपमेंट) बंदरगाह नहीं है। मंत्रिमंडल की मंजूरी के बाद यहां बनने वाला बंदरगाह पोतांतरण का केंद्र बन जाएगा। इस पर काम अगले साल शुरु होगा। इस अवसर पर पोत परिवहन राज्यमंत्री पोन राधाकृष्णन भी मौजूद थे। इससे पहले दिन में संचार एवं आईटी मंत्री रविशंकर प्रसाद ने मीडिया से बातचीत में कहा, मंत्रिमंडल ने तमिलनाडु के इनायम में कोलाचल के पास एक प्रमुख
बंदरगाह के निर्माण की अनुमति दे दी है। सरकार ने कहा है कि इस बंदरगाह के विकास के लिए एक विशेष इकाई (एसपीवी) बनाई जाएगी, जो माल के लिए कंटेनर बंदरगाह को प्रमुख गेटवे के रूप में काम करेगी। एक अधिकारी ने कहा, इनायम में बड़ा बंदरगाह न केवल भारतीय सामान के लिए प्रमुख गेटवे कंटेनर बंदरगाह के रूप में काम करेगा, बल्कि यह वैश्विक पूर्वी-पश्चिमी व्यापार मार्ग के लिए पोतांतरण हब के रूप में भी काम करेगा। अधिकारी ने कहा कि परियोजना की कुल लागत 25,000 करोड़ रुपए होगी। इसमें चरण एक भी शामिल है जिसका क्रियान्वयन 6,575 करोड़ रुपए की लागत से किया जाएगा। अधिकारी ने कहा कि पहले चरण में टर्मिनल बर्थ, यार्ड तथा उपकरणों पर निजी आपरेटर 2,500 करोड़ रुपए का निवेश करेंगे। यह परियोजना काफी समय से लंबित थी।

Railways to increase focus on container transport
INR 17,073 cr worth Railway projects in progress in state The Railways intends to focus on containerized traffic and will allow many more commodities to be carried in containers, barring coal and minerals, said Ambrish Kumar Gupta, Additional Member Traffic, Railway Board, in a conference on 'Last Mile Logistics', organized by Global Knowledge Forum and the Railway Ministry here recently. Railway sheds will soon be permitted to handle container traffic wherever feasible, routes limiting access to ports will be strengthened, and parcel traffic will also be opened to container train operators. The Association of Container Train Operators (ACTO) whose representatives participated in the forum, however, called for lower rates, especially reduced haulage charges, to facilitate the operators carrying more cargo and providing assured traffic in order to effectively compete with road transport.

CIDCO to set up a major logistics hub at JNPT port The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is mulling setting up a logistics hub in the periphery of the port as the neighbourhood has witnessed unplanned expansion in activities that would result in massive traffic congestion in Navi Mumbai. The newly planned hub would be set up on a 414 hectare area in the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust Influence Area (JNPTIA). The new hub would consist of 64 container freight stations (CFS) and warehouses. At present, an economic feasibility report is being prepared by CIDCO for acquiring the land for setting up the logistics hub. A CIDCO official said, The 414 hectare land for the hub would be surrounding three villages of Chirle, Belondkhar and Jasai near JNPTIA. It is a tentative location and the economic feasibility report is awaited. The decision was taken after a study conducted by CIDCO revealed that not only Navi Mumbai, but Urantaluka and the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) would also see huge snarls. According to CIDCO officials, the present port activities are being undertaken in an unplanned manner by stacking the empty containers into a private land that they have purchased. A CIDCO official said that “The logistics hub would bring about a systematic parking yard for the containers

and thereby reduce traffic congestion due to port's expansion activities. The details of study also revealed that around 251.71 square km of JNPTIA areas was affected due to port's expansion activities. Out of that, around 94.68 square km falls in Navi Mumbai area, 72.48 square km is in Urantaluka and 84.55 square km falls under (NAINA).

Gateway Terminals India starts continuous gate-in service for exports Gateway Terminals India Limited (GTIL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), as part of its ease of doing business has introduced continuous gate-in service for exports resulting in a cost benefit of INR 2,000 per container. With this, GTIL has become India’s first terminal to offer such a facility. It means that exporters can deliver containers instantly at the terminal for the next shipping cycle, even when there is an existing vessel docked at the terminal for the current cycle. Generally, terminals close their gatein services for the next shipping cycle for about 24-36 hours when a ship is docked and till the loading and unloading process is completed for that vessel. Shipping cycles are weekly. So terminals allow container cargo for the current shipping cycle to be delivered at a particular cut-off time. Once the unloading and loading process is completed for the docked vessel and only upon sailing of the vessel, the gatein facility the next vessel cycle opens. But GTIL has changed that. Ravi Gaitonde, COO said, “Now a truck loaded with a container need not have to wait either on the road side or at the buffer parking lot for the shipping cycle. It can come directly and drop the box and go. The gate is open 24 hours and free of

Chennai Port to strengthen infra to handle car exports
According to Cyril C George, Chairman of the Chennai Port Trust, Chennai Port will strengthen its infrastructure to handle cars for coastal movement and exports. Addressing media persons after handing over the wharfage charge refund of INR 19.69 crore for 2015-16 to YK Koo, Managing Director, Hyundai Motors India, he said Hyundai Motors has consistently been the largest exporter of cars from India. The car manufacturer has charted out expansion plans which will further strengthen the relationship with the Chennai Port as a channel for its growing exports. The Korean car manufacturer and the Chennai Port have a long-term agreement that provides for the annual refund of a portion of wharfage charges. Since 2006 Hyundai has exported over 2 million cars and received a total refund of INR 165 crore, said a press release from the Port. George said the port is also setting up a berth for handling vessels for coastal of movement cars to domestic

destinations. It is modernizing the port with paved storage areas to provide a clean environment. Car exports will be a growing segment and the port has adequate back up space to handle the growing volumes, he said. Koo said Hyundai Motor India apart from being a hub for export of small cars, which is a huge segment, also exports larger cars including the Creta. In 2015 it had exported about 1.67 lakh cars and in the current year it hopes to sustain exports though the number could be slightly lower due to market conditions in some of its export destinations. Port officials said coastal movement of cars is bound to take off as it is cost effective and more environment friendly as compared with road movement. However, some issues need to be sorted out. The first attempt earlier this year could not be sustained as the car carrier was not filled to capacity and some concession issues had not been sorted out at the destination port. Chennai Port had been fully supportive.
KPMG will submit final report to Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) on its proposal to construct multi-modal logistic park in a few days. VPT Chairman M.T. Krishna Babu said that The draft report found an area of 106 acres owned by us as most suitable for development as a world-class logistic park.” KPMG experts were shown 400 acres identified by the State government near Anakapalle and 106 acres owned by VPT near the Visakhapatnam International Airport during their visit to the city. He said that “They have zeroed in on the 106-acre land located between the airport and the Port Connectivity Road.” Krishna Babu said they would develop it as a Free Trade Zone after roaring success to such notified areas in Mumbai and Chennai to encourage export import trade. Warehousing and other facilities will be created for cargoes like timber, food products and chemicals, which will have assured market. Port-based industries will be promoted in the vicinity. One has to pay customs duty and take material away as they will be entitled to several tax exemptions due to grant of Free Trade Zone status. The project near the airport might necessitate construction of a flyover to ensure hasslefree movement of throughput. The site earmarked near Anakapalle by the government was not found viable as it

involved spending of nearly Rs.200 crore for having connectivity with the Railways and National Highway. As the width would have come down to 40 metres, the port would have needed another 200 acres adjacent to the area to make the project viable as per the draft report of KPMG. Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) is developing another MultiModal Logistic Park with an investment of INR 370 crore at Vimannagar close to the airport on an area of 100 acres given by the port on a 30-year lease to handle 0.3 million Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU).
Shipping Ministry outlines Subsidy scheme for Ship Building Industry Maritime Agenda 2010-20 has interalia set a target to increase percentage share of India to 5% in global ship building and 10% share in global ship repair for India by 2020.

तत्कालीन सरकार ने इस योजना पर 8500 करोड़ रुपये खर्च करने की योजना बनायी थी, जबकि इसके लिए 1500 एकड़ जमीन भी लेनी थी। यदि रसुलपुर में बंदरगाह बना तो समुद्र में करीब 93 किमी. का चैनल का निर्माण करना होगा, ताकि बड़े जहाजों को किनारे तक लाया जा सके। लेकिन तृणमूल सरकार पारदर्शिता के साथ कार्य करना चाहती है। इसलिए वाममोरचा सरकार की योजना रद्द करनी पड़ी। राज्य सरकार ने क्रिसिल के माध्यम से पूरे इलाके का सर्वे कराया. पता चला कि रसुलपुर से थोड़ी दूर पर स्थित ताजपुरशंकरपुर के बीच पोर्ट बनाने के लिए जगह है। यहां पोर्ट बनाने पर योजना खर्च लगभग आधा हो जायेगा. यानी यहां मात्र 4231 करोड़ की लागत आयेगी। यहां समुद्र में 12 मीटर तक की गहराई मिलेगी। मात्र 18.8 किमी. का चैनल बनाना पड़ेगा। ताजपुर-शंकरपुर पोर्ट पूर्व मेदिनीपुर जिले में स्थित हल्दिया पोर्ट से कहीं बेहतर होगा। यहां 60 हजार पार्सल साइज के जहाज आसानी से तट तक लाये जा सकेंगे, जो कि हल्दिया पोर्ट से लगभग छह गुना अधिक है। इस योजना पर राज्य सरकार 150 करोड़ रुपये खर्च करेगी। उक्त राशि से यहां आधारभूत सुविधाओं का विकास किया जायेगा। डॉ. मित्रा ने बताया कि केंद्र सरकार की मदद से सागर में डीप सी पोर्ट बनाया जायेगा। राज्य के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में तीन से चार पोर्ट बनाये जायेंगे।

सरकार की आर्थिक नीतियों से देश को हो रहा है फायदा:गडकरी
उत्तर प्रदेश के इलाहाबाद में चल रही भारतीय जनता पार्टी की राष्ट्रीय कार्यकारिणी की बैठक में कैराना का मुद्दा छाया रहा। पार्टी नेताओं ने यूपी की कानून व्यवस्था पर सवाल उठाए और कहा कि उत्तर प्रदेश में अभी फिलहाल मुख्यमंत्री पद के लिए पार्टी का चेहरा तय नहीं है। इन सबके बीच नितिन गडकरी ने प्रेस कांफ्रेंस में कहा कि हमारी नीतियों के नतीजे आने लगे हैं। उन्होंने दावा किया कि सरकार की आर्थिक नीतियों से देश को फायदा हो रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि आर्थिक संकट दुनिया के कई देशों में है। लेकिन पिछले दो साल में भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था दुनिया का सबसे तेजी से बढ़ने वाली अर्थ व्यवस्था बनी। यह नरेन्द्र मोदी की सरकार की बेहतर नीतियों के कारण संभव हुआ। विकास दर, कृषि विकास दर बढ़ी है। विकास के दम पर जीतेंगे यूपी, उन्होंने कहा कि कुछ राजनीतिक दल हमारी एनडीए की सरकार के वक्त हमें राष्ट्रीय पार्टी नहीं मानते थे। अभी पांच राज्यों का चुनाव हुआ। हमने असम जीता। कर्नाटक में हैं। केरल और बंगाल में भी बढ़े हैं। देश में पविर्तन हो रहा है। पीएम मोदी की सोच, पारदर्शी काम, मेहनत और बेहतर नीतियों से देश और आगे बढ़ेगा। उन्होंने कहा कि यूपी में विकास के काम से हम जीतेंगे। गडकरी ने कहा कि जनधन, फसल बीमा, मेक इन इंडिया, बेटी बचाओ, बेटी पढ़ाओ जैसी योजनाओं के शानदार परिणाम आ रहे हैं। देश आगे बढ़ रहा है। जनधन में खुले खातों में 36 हजार करोड़ रुपया जमा हुआ है। उन्होंने कहा कि फसल बीमा योजना, सिंचाई के प्रोजेक्ट
देश की तस्वीर बदल देंगे। उत्पादन दोगुना करने का लक्ष्य पा सकेंगे। पहले यूरिया के लिए लाठीचार्ज तक होते थे, अब उत्पादन बढ़ा, स्मगलिंग बंद हुई। उन्होंने कहा कि पहली बार देश में कोयला और बिजली सरप्लस हुआ है। पहली बार गैर पारंपरिक ऊर्जा क्षेत्र में हम तेजी से बढ़े हैं। रेलवे में व्यापक सुधार हुआ। सड़क बनाने में रिकार्ड कायम हुए हैं। जब मोदी सरकार सत्ता में आई थी, 403 प्रोजेक्ट ठप पड़े थे। पालिसी पैरालिसिस कही जाती थी। अब सब प्रोजेक्ट चालू हैं। उद्योग भी बढ़े हैं। सुशासन आया है। कानून में सुधार, भ्रष्टाचार खत्म, विकास का दृष्टिकोण सब मिलकर यह सुशासन ला रहा है। गडकरी ने कहा कि पेंशन और सब्सिडी का दुरुपयोग हो रहा था, जो हमने रोका है। इससे 7000 करोड़ की बचत होगी। उन्होंने कहा कि कुछ राजनीतिक दल हमारी एनडीए की सरकार के वक्त हमें राष्ट्रीय पार्टी नहीं मानते थे। अभी पांच राज्यों का चुनाव हुआ। हमने असम जीता। कर्नाटक में हैं। केरल और बंगाल में भी बढ़े हैं। देश में पविर्तन हो रहा है। पीएम मोदी की सोच, पारदर्शी काम, मेहनत और बेहतर नीतियों से देश और आगे बढ़ेगा। राष्ट्रीय कार्यसमिति की बैठक में राजनीतिक प्रस्ताव पेश किया गया जिस पर कुछ देर में चर्चा होगी। बैठक परिसर में कुछ ई-रिक्शा मंगाए गए हैं। 11 महिलाओं को बांटे जाएंगे ई-रिक्शा। पीएम मोदी भी आज इस कार्यक्रम में शिरकत कर रहे हैं। शाम में वह एक रैली को भी संबोधित करेंगे। शाम 7 बजे के बाद वह विशेष विमान से दिल्ली के लिए रवाना हो जाएंगे।
