Logistics growth to help India turn key Global Player: Grant Thornton

Cont’d. from Pg. 3

India needs to raise its production capacity, optimise infrastructure efficiency and address domestic and globaldemandstobecometheworld’s third-largesteconomyby2027,itsaid.

The manufacturing sector, contributing approximately 17 per cent to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), is expected to play an even more substantial role in the

future, supported by government initiatives.

The rise in production, however, will create additional strain on logistics infrastructure, demanding enhanced efficiency and availability to maintain competitive logistics costs,itobserved.

India’s logistics sector is growing steadily at a rate of 10-12 per cent year on year (YoY), contributing

14.4 per cent to the GDP. The warehousingstoragesectorisgrowing faster, projecting a compounded annual growth rate of 15.64 per cent andamarketsizeof$35billionby2027.

The global demand outlook is favourable now, offering Indian businesses the opportunity to enhance supply-side indicators and compete on a global scale, thecompanyobserved.

Indian exports face bigger threat from Asia-Pacic than West: CRISIL

MUMBAI: Indian exports face stronger headwinds from softer demand in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region than from the imminent slowdown in the West, CRISIL said in itsresearch"Quicknonomics"recently.

Citing data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the rating agency said that, during April and May,thedeclineinIndianexportswas the sharpest in the APAC region as compared to the USA, Africa, EuropeanUnion,andtheGulfregion.

During the two months, India's exports declined 11.4 per cent. Comparatively, exports to APAC were down 21.8 per cent. The USA and Africa followed APAC with a fall of 12.9 per cent and 8.6 per cent respectively.Thefallinexportsinthe EU was 6 per cent. In the Gulf countries,itwas3.4percent.

Moreover, exports of 40 of 75 commodities declined

duringAprilandMay.

According to the latest data released by the ministry, India's merchandise exports plummeted by 22 per cent to $32.9 billion in June as compared to the month last year. Indianexportshavenowfallenforfive straightmonths.

CRISIL added that India's trade deficit with the APAC region has been widening due to lower exports and higherimports.

"What is worrisome is that while India's exports to APAC are faltering, imports from the region continue to rise. This has considerably widened the country’s trade deficit with the region and overall in the past two years,"itsaid.

It added that while China remains the primary contributor to the country's trade deficit from the APAC region, the trade deficit with the APAC(ex-China)regionisalsorising.

However, it also said that the role of China in India's falling exports is less pronounced as compared to the othercountries.

Astructuralshift?

CRISIL said that the share of the US and the EU in India's goods exports has been on the rise since 2021. It is eating into the share of the APACregion.

"The share of APAC in India's goodsexportshasbeenonthedecline since the pandemic onset in 2021 — this could perhaps suggest astructuralshift,"itsaid.

In2019,APACaccountedfor33per cent of India's goods exports, more than the combined share of the US andEUat30.4percent.

In 2023, however, APAC's share declined to 26.5 per cent and the combined share of the US and EU rose to 34 per cent. This trend continuedasofApril-Maythisyear.

Indian basmati rice exporters face surge in early shipments requests

NEW DELHI : Indian rice exporters have been receiving requests from buyers to advance shipments of basmati rice after New Delhi banned exports of nonbasmati white rice to dampen local prices, industry officials told Reuters.

The world’s biggest exporter of rice surprised buyers earlier this monthbyimposingabanonexportsof non-basmati white rice after retail rice prices climbed 3% in a month after late but heavy monsoon rains causedsignificantdamagetocrops.

“Buyers are requesting early shipments because they fear that the

governmentmightputrestrictionson exports of basmati rice as well,” said Atul Garg, Managing Director at GRM Overseas, a leading exporter of basmatirice.

Buyers usually sign long-term contracts with the assurance of dispatching a certain quantity every month. However, some of the buyers are now requesting to ship in August what was supposed to be shipped in SeptemberandOctober,hesaid.

India exported around 4.5 million metric tons of basmati rice in 2022/23, with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United ArabEmirates,YemenandtheUnited Statesamongthetopbuyers.

Non-basmati white rice, which India has banned for export, is mainly purchased by Senegal, Benin, Togo, Bangladesh,andCoted’Ivoire.

India never banned exports of basmati rice in the past but did imposeexporttaxesin2008.

“We are assuring buyers that there is no possibility of a ban on basmatiriceexports but some buyers are afraid due to the government’s recent decisions,” said another exporterbasedinNew-Delhi.

India banned wheat exports in a surprise move in 2022 and later imposed restrictions on exports of sugarandrice.

Record Containership deliveries dash rate recovery hopes : Xenata

OSLO: According to analysis by ocean and air freight data specialist, Xeneta, no fewer than 40 ships joined the fleet over the month. In its most recent market report, the Oslobased firm said that a total of 990,000 TEUs of capacity was delivered over the first half, with a similar volume expectedbetweennowandtheendof theyear.

The firm, which uses real-time, crowd-sourced data from leading shippers on the main trade lanes to compile its figures, reported that long-term freight rates have crashed, sinking to a two-year low in July. Its XSI® Shipping Index fell a further 9.5% from the June figure. Long-term valid contract rates have now sunk by 57.8%sincethesameperiodin2022.

Analyst Emily Stausbøll said that market indications show little sign of respite for carriers. Even though ‘peak season’ is just around the corner, overcapacity is ‘inevitable’ evenifcargovolumesdoincrease,she said.

“On all but three of the XSI subindices, the average of all valid longterm rates have dropped by more than 50% compared to a year ago,” Stausbøll revealed. “The average shipper on the main trades should be paying less than half the rates they were a year ago on the long-term market. Despite an increase in volumes from previous months, global container demand remains downyear-on-year.”

All major trade lanes are affected,

buttheAsiaEuroperouteisworsthit. The XSI for Far East exports fell by a 2.7% in July, a drop of almost 70% since July 2022 and the lowest point sinceApril2021.

Meanwhile, commenting on the International Longshore and Warehouse Union’s July strike which disrupted imports through the Canadian ports of Prince Rupert and Vancouver and hit the US market, Stausbøll said: “Low import volumes and space at some ports allowed shippers and carriers to mitigate delays and find alternatives when the Canadian ports were temporarily closed, but this situation is yet another thorn in the side for the industry at a crucial time leading up topeakseason.”

Kapurthala Rail Coach to roll out passenger cum cargo hybrid coaches

KAPURTHALA: The Kapurthala rail coach factory is developing a hybrid double decker coach in which passengerscanbeseatedintheupper deck and the lower deck can be used to move cargo. As freight traffic pattern changes more from bulk cargo to small shipments, there is an increased demand for movement of smallquantitywhitegoods,especially

fromtheFMCGsector.

Thecommencementoftheservice is expected to give a big boost to timebound cargo movement, which is major source of revenue for the Railways. “Most probably, we will roll out the first cargo liner concept by next month. This will be the first-ofits-kind double-decker coach in India where there will be space for seating

passengers on the upper deck while the lower deck will be utilised for cargo movement. Once completed, it will be put on a trial run by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), a research and development organisation under the Ministry of Railways,” said Ashesh Agrawal, General Manager, RailCoachFactory,Kapurthala.
