PM GatiShakti may go Global; 3 neighbours show interest

NEW DELHI: A little over three years since its 2021 launch, PM Gati Shakti may soon go global with as many as three neighbouring countries showing an interest in the platform and the government planning to showcase the technology in Europe and the US.

India is offering the technology platform to all ‘friendly’ neighbouring countries, two people were quoted as saying.

“We are offering Gati Shakti to friendly countries and there is interest from three countries. We also plan to showcase it to countries in the developed world, who have made investments into the country We want to show the

developed world the improvements that we have made in infrastructure planning, which will also help their investments,” said one of them, a Senior Government official, who did not want to be identified.

PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan may first be offered to neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, for planning and execution of certain cross border infrastructure projects before a separate product is developed for overseas project planning and execution to be implemented on the framework developed for domestic projects.

CONCOR looking for Global partnerships with Shipping Lines like Maersk; Domestic expansion also in progress

NEW DELHI : CONCOR (Container Corporation of India) is in the process of making partnerships with major shipping lines like Maersk – to offer end-to-end solutions including their flagship first mile – last mile (FM – LM) services, officials said.

The CPSE, under the Ministry of Railways, is also awaiting delivery of tank containers from wagon-maker Braithwaite & Co. The ramp up of tank containers is seen

as an attempt by CONCOR to shore up revenues from new segments in the domestic market, like cement. Review of cap-ex Budget will soon be taken up depending on infrastructure requirements. In FY25, the guidance was Rs 610 crore and by H1 around R s 2 7 7 c r o r e o f c a p - e x h a s b

The CPSE procured 5130 new containers in H1FY25 thereby taking its total number to 49,516

According to Shri Sanjay Swarup, Chairman and Managing Director, CONCOR, meetings have been held with shipping lines in Mumbai; and the CPSE offered its warehousing services, first mile and last mile facilities and also apprised shipping lines of the volume-based incentives that are offered These services, he said, will be offered “as a package” “ So all these things, they are part of the agreement that we are having with shipping lines,” he said during a recent investor call

“I visited the headquarters of Maersk, which is the second biggest line in Copenhagen, Denmark And they are quite excited when I told them about the green logistics, ESG norms being followed and total business solutions So they have had internal discussions and all of them are coming forward to sign these agreements with us…” Shri Swarup further added.

Someoftheotherbusinesshouseswhohadpreviouslybeen named by the CMD as prospective candidates included Tata, Vedanta, Reliance and Jindal. It has long term agreements with the Jindal Group for export-Import trade only.

Double Stack Container Services

According to Swarup, Braithwaite Corporation will look to supply bulk cement and tank containers December onwards. Discussions are already underway with cement companies “We are in touch with leading cement companies…. and we hope to garner very good business in domestic in the coming months,” he said.

Rail services between Kandla port and ICDs (inland container depots) of North India have already begun; and, CONCOR will soon start double stack container train services from North India locations to Varnama (near Baroda), a part of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC).

The terminal at Varnama will have connectivity with both the Indian Railways network and the DFC with the latter part under – construction at present. “We will run double stack train from Dadri and Kathuwas upto Varnama. And from there we break it to two single stack trains. And they will go on Indian Railways route upto JNPT for the last 400 kms And the reverse will happen for imports,” Swarup said during the call

PM GatiShakti may go Global; 3 neighbours show interest

Cont’d. from Pg. 4

Master plan showcased

An Indian delegation visited Nepal last year to showcase the master plan. It was also shown to Bangladesh at the invitation of the government there. Similarly, Gati Shakti has been showcased to 30 countries in Central Asia and South East Asia. The official said that the tool has also been showcased at the UN ESCAP (Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) Conference in Hong Kong, the Asia Pacific Business Forum last year and the G-20 meeting in Delhi last September

The plan is also to offer PM Gati Shakti model to countries where India is already implementing projects Later, other interested countries could be offered this integrated planning and execution tool. The master plan is going to be portrayed as a unique product, using state of the art technology and one of its kind in the world which is going to refor m the gover nance, especially of project implementation and management Helping neighbours

Analsyts say this will help neighbouring countries.

“Our neighbours would benefit from similar master plans for their districts, and the know-how for quick implementation. They would be able to plan and execute their connectivity projects with right-of-way for better logistics, as also location identification for social infra. So many solutions and innovations in India can be shared with the Global South,

including African and Asian nations. Such innovations would be equally relevant for OECD members and G20 members. Beyond Gati Shakti, another example is the UPI mobile payment system,” said Shailesh Pathak, former CEO, L&T Infra Dev Projects Ltd.

PM Gati Shakti is a digital platform to bring 16 Ministries, including Railways and Roadways, together for integrated planning and coordinated implementation of infrastructure connectivity projects. This platform helps in the planning of infrastructure project and suggests alternatives that require minimal approvals.

Reportedly, Gati Shakti helped reduce the number of NoObjection Certificates required for a coastal road road project in Gujarat to 13 from 28. Till September-end, it has assessed over 208 major infrastructure projects, estimated at over $180 billion.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, at the the Brics summit last month, offered Gati Shakti to member countries.

“We have established a digital platform called the GatiShakti portal to rapidly expand multi-modal connectivity in India This has helped in integrated infrastructure development planning and implementation and has reduced logistics costs. We will be happy to share our experiences with all of you,” Modi said in his speech at the plenary of the 16th Brics summit.

Along with friendly countries, the government has also arrived at a consensus on sharing the platform with private sector firms to help them plan their projects well.

Commerce Secretary visits Norway for implementation of Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA)

…TEPA to boost 99.6% of Indian exports with Market Access to EFTA countries and drive $100 billion investment

NEW DELHI : The Secretary, Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Shri Sunil Barthwal, accompanied by senior officials, visited Norway on 22nd November 2024. The visit was aimed at furthering the objectives of Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) and unlocking the large market in EFTA countries for Indian exports of goods & services and push for early implementation of $100 bn investment. TEPA was signed in March 2024.

TEPA is a modern and ambitious Trade Agreement which India signed with four developed nations - an important economic bloc in Europe The agreement will give a boost to Make in India and provide opportunities to the young & talented workforce. EFTA is offering 92.2% of its tariff lines which

covers 99.6% of India’s exports. The EFTA’s market access offer covers 100% of non-agri products and tariff concession on Processed Agricultural Products (PAP). India is offering 82.7% of its tariff lines which covers 95.3% of EFTA exports. India has offered 105 sub-sectors to the EFTA and secured commitments in 114 from Norway TEPA would stimulate our services exports in sectors of our key strength / interest such as IT services, business services, personal, cultural, sporting and recreational services, other education services, audio-visual services etc. Services offered from EFTA include better access through digital delivery of Services (Mode 1), commercial presence (Mode 3) and improved commitments and certainty for entry and temporary stay of key

C O P E N H A G E N : T h e m a j o r carriers have reported a combined 2024-Q3 EBIT of USD 17.06bn, which is a 600% increase Y/Y – the Y/Y increase is discounting ZIM who reported a onetime non-cash impairment loss of USD 2.06bn in 2023-Q3; including this figure would over-inflate Y/Y growth for 2024Q3. This is on the back of a USD 6.12bn EBIT in 2024-Q2.

Of these 9 reporting carriers, 8 have reported EBIT of over USD 1bn, of which 3 have reported EBIT of over USD 2bn. COSCO had the highest 2024Q3 EBIT of USD 4.71bn. Even with the highest EBIT, COSCO did not have the

personnel (Mode 4).

TEPA will give impetus to “Make in India” and Atmanirbhar Bharat by encouraging domestic manufacturing in sectors such as Infrastructure and

Chemicals, Food Processing, Transport and Logistics, Banking and Financial Services and Insurance.

TEPA is expected to accelerate the creation of a large number of direct jobs for India’s young aspirational workforce in the next 15 years in India, including better facilities for vocational and technical training. TEPA also facilitates technology collaboration a n d a c c e

Given these results, it seems as though the market is in a conflicted state. While this is clearly not pandemic level profitability, it is also higher than any “normal” Q3. It seems as if the current supply chain disruptions have jolted the market enough to drive up freight rates, increase volumes (only par

DGFT launches probe into Indian sugar exports to Maldives being diverted to Lanka

NEW DELHI : The DirectorateGeneral of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has launched a probe into sugar exports from India to Maldives under a bilateral treaty being diverted to Sri Lanka, trade sources said.

On October 25, it was reported that some exporters allegedly misused a part of the 64,494.33 tonnes of sugar allocated by the Centre for exports to Maldives under a bilateral agreement between the two countries. Following this, the DGFT launched a probe and trade sources said sugar exports to Maldives have come to a halt.

The sources said at least seven parcels of sugar set to be exported to Maldives have been detained at the Nhava Sheva port on the s u s p i c i o n t h a t i t w a s b e i n g

divertedtosomeotherorigin

Bilateral pact

On the other hand, Sri Lankan Customs officials have detained about 70 containers of Indian sugar diverted to Colombo after an alert according to a report.

On April 5, 2024, the DGFT issued a notification under a bilateral agreement with Maldives permitting rice, wheat flour, dal, sugar, eggs, potatoes and onions, besides stone aggregate and river sand.

Though India did not allow sugar exports in the 2023-24 season (September-October) because of a decline in production, it allowed shipments of limited quantities to a few countries such as Maldives.

Later on April 15, 2024, the DGFT

said the exports of commodities under the bilateral treaty would be permitted only through Mundra, Tuticorin and Nhava Sheva sea ports besides the Inland Container Depot, Tughlakabad.

At standstill

Following the launch of the investigation into the diversion, exports of sugar to Maldives have almost come to a standstill Trade sources said Sri Lanka officials have stopped clearances at Colombo. They have begun a separate probe against the buyers based in Lanka.

Over 80 container loads of sugar f r o m t h e c o u n t r y, p

Government aims to cut red tape and accelerate Port infrastructure development

NEW DELHI : Govt mulls greater autonomy for major ports to boost efficiency and reduce bureaucratic delays. In its drive to transform state-

o w n e d p o r t s i n t o s e l f- r e l i a n t commercial hubs, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways is exploring plans to enhance decisionmaking autonomy for India’s 12 major ports, officials close to the matter revealed.

A key proposal under review would empower these ports to independently manage their capital expenditure (capex), provided it is financed through internal resources. This shift aims to deepen the corporatisation of major ports, reducing bureaucratic dependency and fostering operational efficiency

“This initiative could unlock greater flexibility and efficiency in p o r t m a n a g e m e n t , ” a s e n i o r Government official noted “By allowing ports to leverage their resources, we can streamline infrastructure development and meet evolving trade demands more effectively

Over 10,000 steel user units are facing a crisis due to prolonged port delays and burdensome regulatory requirements, and the government should look at streamlining import processes and digitise systems to help the sector, think tank GTRI said on Monday. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) also said that policies aimed at protecting

domestic steelmakers, including import restrictions and quality c o n t r o l m e a s u r e s , h a v e unintentionally penalised industries dependent on imported steel.

Over 10,000 units are struggling with operational and financial challenges, threatening their production and export capabilities, it added. It also said that Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) need careful scrutiny as some FTAs allow Indian fir ms to partner with foreign producers and re-import steel at concessional rates, raising concerns about competition. “Port delays and red tape are choking India’s steel user industries Over 10,000 steel user units face financial strain due to delays at ports and unclear regulatory requirements. Essential imports for manufacturing industries face excessive scrutiny,” GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said.

To m o n i t o r i m p o r t s , t h e government introduced the Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS), requiring detailed declarations before goods arrive Additionally, Quality Control Orders (QCOs) mandate registration with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for specific steel products However, he said, C u s t o m s h a s e x t e n d e d t h e s e requirements indiscriminately, demanding BIS No Objection Certificates (NOCs) even for items outside the QCO’s scope.

“This creates confusion, delays,

and added costs, as BIS rarely issues NOCs promptly. Compounding the problem, the Steel Ministry’s Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) for registering consignments often malfunctions, further delaying clearances,” Srivastava said. India’s steel user industry urged the G o v e r n m e n t t o e n s u r e c l e a r, transparent, and efficient processes. If import restrictions are necessary, the GTRI said, they should be implemented through well-defined policies rather than procedural roadblocks.

To e n s u r e t h e g r o w t h a n d competitiveness of both steelmakers and steel user industries, the Government should take steps such as streamlining import processes, digitizing systems, and focusing on the domestic production of highquality specialty steel are critical “Without these measures, policyinduced bottlenecks could harm the broader economy and undermine India’s aspirations for global manufacturing leadership,” the think tank said, adding QCOs should be mandatory only for steel made domestically in sufficient quantities and there is a need to revamp SIMS. India’s steel industry can be divided into two categories — steelmaking firms and steel-user industries. The user industries use steel to create value-added products like flat and long steel items, specialty steel, stainless steel, and fabricated component.

Majority of steel imports under FTAs, making any duty hike ineffective, says Steel Secretary

NEW DELHI : Around 62 per cent of steel imports are landing from FTA countries at nil duty and any duty hike will not have any impact on these shipments, Steel Secretary Sandeep Poundrik said recentlywhile acknowledging that there is a genuine p r o b l e m o f s u p p l y g l u t d u e toincreased imports.

His comments have come against the background of domestic steel players raising concerns over rising cheap steel imports from select n a t i o n s , a f f e c t i n g t h e i r competitiveness The domestic industry has also sought an increase in customs duty on steel products to check belowcost shipments.

Speaking at a Ficci event here, the S t e e l S e c r e t a r y e v e n i f t h e government raises the basic customs duty on imports, the move will not have the desired impact as 62 per cent

of the shipments entering India from FTA nations There is a genuine problem and the ministry is aware of that, Poundrik said adding that there are multiple ways to protect the domestic industry but the only problem is that 62 per cent of imports are from FTA countries.

“So, if we increase basic customs duty, there is no impact on these 62 per cent imports because there is no duty,” the Secretary said.

He also said there have been concerns for almost a year, especially in the last few months that dumping is happening at the international level and steel prices have come down.

Indian imports in the first half of this financial year increased by around 41 per cent and exports have gone down by 36 per cent.

The inventory levels in steel companies have increased from

normal 15-16 days to up to 30 days, he said adding the industry is facing a genuine problem.

He also said that the steel demand has expanded by 13 per cent in the first half of the year and per capita steel consumption is heading towards 100 kg. The installed capacity stands at 180 million tonnes (MT) and another 120 MT is to be installed by 2030 to meet the 300 MT target.

According to BigMint, India’s steel imports were at 5.51 million tonnes (MT) in April-September 2024-25, higher from 3.66 MT in the yearago period, Imports from China surged to 1.85 MT during that period from 1.02 MT in April-September period of financial year 2023-24, it said.

India has free trade agreements (FTA) with countries like Japan, South Korea, Mauritius and the ASEAN bloc.

Steel retaliation: India cautiously weighs proposed duties on EU goods

KOLKATA : India is stepping cautiously on its proposed imposition of retaliatory duties on EU goods for wrongful extension of safeguard tariffs on its steel as it is weighing diplomatic considerations such as action by other countries similarly hurt by the measures and an assessment of overall trade relations with the bloc, sources have said.

“New Delhi made it clear this September that it believes that the safeguard duties imposed on Indian steel by the EU are wrongful when it informed the WTO of its proposed retaliatory duties on imports from the bloc. However, it has still not gone ahead with the move as several diplomatic factors need to be considered given that the EU is a valuable trade partner,” an official tracking the matter said.

The EU imposed safeguard

measures in 2019 after the US imposed additional duties on its steel i m p o r t s d u r i n g t h e Tr u m p Administration. It was in the form of Tariff-Rate-Quotas (TRQs) reflecting traditional trade flows, above which a 25 per cent duty was levied on imports, and it was applied for a five year period till June 2024.

“Several countries affected by the safeguard duties including India, Russia, Brazil, China and Turkey had tried to convince the EU to withdraw the duties and later not to extend the duties beyond June 2024 as the move was not in line with WTO rules However, the EU went ahead and extended the safeguard duties for another two years till 2026,” the official noted.

I n S e p t e m b e r 2 0 2 4 , I n d i a submitted to the WTO that it reserved its right to effectuate a proposed

suspension of concessions to the EU, equivalent to the hit taken by its industry because of the extension of the safeguard measures.

“India hereby informs that from 2018 to 2023 the safeguard measures have resulted in cumulative trade loss for India to the tune of $ 4.412 billion on which the duty collection would be $ 1.103 billion. Accordingly, India’s proposed suspension of concessions would result in an equivalent amount of duty collected from products originating in the EU,” per India’s submission to the WTO

To ensure the effective exercise of its right to suspend substantially equivalent concessions or other obligations referred to in Article 8.2, India reserves its right to effectuate t h e p r o p o s e d s u s p e n s i o n immediately and adjust the products as well as the tariff rates, it added.

Bangladesh Govt approves rice import from India

D H A K A : T h e B a n g l a d e s h Government has approved a proposal from the Ministry of Food to import 50,000 tons of non-basmati parboiled rice from India through an open tender process. The total expenditure for the purchase will amount to Tk282.96 crore.

The decision was finalized at a

meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchases, chaired by Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed, at the Secretariat recently According to meeting sources, the Indian company M/s SAEL Agri Commodities Limited will supply the rice. This follows the earlier approval by the Advisory Council

Committee on Economic Affairs for importing 500,000 tons of rice from international sources during the 202425 fiscal year to address state emergencies and ser ve public interest.

The cost of the 50,000 tons of rice is estimated at $471.60 per ton, amounting to $23.58 million.

Third Working Group meeting on Chabahar Port between India, Iran and Uzbekistan held in Mumbai

MUMBAI: The Third Working Group meeting on Chabahar Port between India, Iran and Uzbekistan was held on 22 November 2024 in Mumbai. A delegation from the Afghanistan Chambers of Commerce also attended the meeting as a special invitee.

During the meeting, participants emphasized the importance of Chabahar Port in supporting Afghanistan’s reconstruction and economic development, as well as providing an alternate trade corridor to Central Asia. They also noted the increase in transit traffic through Chabahar Port and discussed ways to enhance regional connectivity.

The meeting was followed by interaction with the members of the business community A presentation on the operations of Shahid Beheshti Terminal, Chabahar Port highlighting the facilities being offered for transit, was delivered by India Ports Global Limited (IPGL). During the interaction, traders expressed keen interest in utilizing the Chabahar Port for trade and transit The business community was encouraged to come forward with suggestions to further enhance the trade and transit through the port to realize its full potential.

PSA

IPGL through its wholly owned subsidiary, India Ports Global Chabahar Free Zone (IPGCFZ), took over the operations of the Chabahar Port on 24 December 2018. Since then, the port has handled over 450 vessels, 1,34,082 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent) of containerized cargo and more than 8.7 million tons of bulk cargo. There has been an increase of 1200% increase of containers handled during the last financial year

It was decided to hold the next edition of the Working Group meeting at a mutually convenient date and venue.

Antwerp and Combinant sign agreement to enhance connectivity between PSA’s Deepsea Terminals and Combinant Rail Terminal

ANTWERP: Leading deepsea terminal operator PSA Antwerp and Antwerp-based rail terminal Combinant signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish an integrated service to optimize the connectivity between PSA’s Deepsea Terminals and Combinant Rail Terminal in the Port of Antwerp. This streamlined corridor aims to facilitate a modal shift from road to rail, thereby enhancing maritime intermodal rail solutions at the Port of Antwerp.

As businesses increasingly seek fast, cost-effective, and sustainable transport options for their products between the deepsea port and the respective hinterlands, the shift from road to rail has become a valuable alternative. The newly established trucking service will connect PSA's two deepsea terminals on the right bank of the river Scheldt (Noordzee and Europa Terminal) with the Combinant rail terminal in the north of the Port of Antwerp

Through the Combinant-Duisburg rail connection, operated by the intermodal network operator HUPAC, this new integrated service will connect PSA’s Antwerp terminals with PSA’s investment in the recently opened Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT)1 in the Ruhr area. Since early November 2024, HUPAC has rerouted its trains to DGT, making the following destinations directly bookable for maritime cargo through PSA’s Intermodal Solutions Department: Schkopau and Schwarzheide in Germany, Warsaw in Poland, Budapest in Hungary, Vienna in Austria, Ploiesti (Bucharest) in Romania, Starà Zagora in Bulgaria, Pančevo (Belgrade) in Serbia and Istanbul in Türkiye.

Additionally, rail operators calling Combinant can now offer connections between PSA’s Antwerp terminals and important logistics hotspots on the European continent

such as Ludwigshafen, Bettembourg, Milan, Verona, Barcelona and Madrid.

To further reduce carbon emissions, both companies will explore the introduction of sustainable electric trucks (eTrucks) to this corridor Last year, PSA Antwerp successfully conducted tests with Mercedes-Benz and Volvo eTrucks to assess their performance and feasibility in moving containers throughout the port.

Edward Tah, Managing Director of PSA Belgium, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunities this new MoU presents, “At PSA, we are committed to continuously enhancing the hinterland connectivity of our terminals, offering more multimodal, efficient, sustainable, and costeffective solutions to our customers. Our partnership with Combinant aligns with PSA Group’s strategic vision of expanding our services and product portfolio into the hinterland, as exemplified by our investment in the newly opened Duisburg Gateway Terminal and the announced acquisition of Polish intermodal operator Loconi Intermodal S.A.2. We look forward to collaborating closely with Combinant.”

Ben Beirnaert, General Manager Combinant N.V., sees a lot of potential for the future. “By integrating maritime and continental volumes on trains, we have the optimal solution for the future. At Combinant, we see immense potential in this partnership with PSA Antwerp. We already offer more than 10 direct train destinations across Europe, available to the PoAB community The only way forward is to collaborate with all stakeholders to achieve a modal shift across all volumes ”

The service can be booked via PSA Belgium’s Intermodal Solutions Department:
