Exports will close scal at same level as last year despite uncertainties : Piyush Goyal

Cont’d from Pg. 3

He also said that the Government measures such production-linked incentives schemes and focus on high-quality goods and services would help in containing the country’s trade deficit. So our trade deficit will be significantly lower than last year.

“I am happy to share with you that we close the current year in March at the same level as last year We have a little bit of an adjustment between goods and services, but collectively we will be at the same level as last year, which will be a very significant achievement given that most developing countries and less developed countries are seeing a fall in their inter national trade,” Goyal was quoted in an interview

Cumulatively, the country ’s merchandise exports in AprilJanuary 2023-24 contracted by 4 89 per cent to $353 92 billion The estimated value of services exports during the ten-month period

stood at $84 45 billion In 2022-23, India’s goods and services exports stood at $ 776 billion.

The war between Russia and Ukraine; Israel-Hamas is impacting global supply chains and the Red Sea crisis has led to significant increase in transportation costs and delay as Indian exporters have to send their consignments through the Cape of Good Hope, encircling Africa. The minister said that India saw a scorching pace of growth in its international trade in the years between 2021 and 2023.

“We grew by 55 per cent over a period of two years, both in goods and in services’. It went up to $ 776 billion in only two years. And with growth on both goods and services, we could clearly see that this year is going to be one where we will have to consolidate the gains,” he said. When asked if the government is thinking of extending some kind of support measures to exports to deal with the crisis, he said the approach of being dependent on

the government to resolve all the problems is something that now Indian industry also does not really desire.

“We have been able to change the thinking to bring the confidence in the Indian exporters that we should stand on our own feet. We should not be dependent on the crutches of the government. And I’m glad to share with you that they do not want the cr utches of support anymore “What we are doing is of course working through the military and the Navy to see that we can give protection to the ships traversing the Red Sea. We are also continuously in dialogue working with the countries in that region and with our own exporters, and very, very mindful and watchful of the situation,” he said. When asked about the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the Minister said it is “very” relevant and will continue to increase in its relevance as the world needs a rules-based trading system, which is transparent.

Dry Port in Jalna will boost business, says Steel Manufacturing Body

JALNA: The dry port near Jalna is among several key projects across the country that was inaugurated virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The facility a joint-venture b e t w e e n N a v i M u m b a i - b a s e d Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority and the National Highway Authority of India has now been named as multi-modal cargo terminal and is expected to provide much-needed help to the multi-crore steel industry in Jalna, besides offering other benefits.

Jalna Steel Manufacturing Association said the dry port is expected to be a shot in the arm for

the businesses having a collective turnover of around Rs 25,000 crore.

“We expect huge savings in terms of time and money. The facility will broaden the horizons of our business with markets getting opened all across the country,” association member and managing director of Icon Steel Dinesh Rathi said.

Based around 10km from Jalna at Dinagaon, the project is part of the Gati Shakti Multi-modal Cargo Terminal Policy of the Railway Board that aims to offer a push to investment from industryinsettingupcargoterminals

A senior official from the south central railway (SCR) said the facility is expected to carry the load of cargo

movement involving scrap iron, iron ore and finished iron along with cotton bales and other agricultural products.

“To begin with, the facility has two rail-level platforms and three rail lines among other infrastructure.

The work of the Electronic In-Motion Weighbridge is also in progress,” the official said.

PM inaugurates in-plant railway siding at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated

“India’s first automobile in-plant railway siding” at Maruti Suzuki India L t d ’ s ( M S I L ) w h o l l y o w n e d subsidiary Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Ltd ’s unit in Becharaji, Gujarat, via video conferencing.

A p a r t o f t h e G a t i S h a k t i programme, the in-plant railway siding is expected to reduce carbon footprint in logistics, bring down fossil fuel consumption, and reduce road

congestion, MSIL said Once fully operational, the facility can dispatch 3 lakh cars annually to 15 destinations across India, it added.

The project is a collaboration between Gujarat Rail Infrastructure Development (G-RIDE), Indian Railways, the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), and MSIL.

“Today marks a significant milestone as we become India’s first automobile company to have a

railway siding facility within its manufacturing plant,” Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, MSIL, said in a statement.

“As we gear up to double our production capacity from present 2 million units per annum to 4 million units per annum by 2030-31, the dispatches of vehicles from railways too will increase multi-fold. This inplant railway facility reinforces our commitment towards sustainable mobility,” he added.

PM Modi inaugurated Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal project of Ramco Cements virtually

NEW DELHI: The Gati Shakti Terminal Project by Ramco Cements was virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, the cement maker said.

The project is the first of its kind in the cement industry as Ramco Cements would be transporting crushed limestone through railway wagons using electric locomotives in an environment-friendly manner.

The Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal Project is located at Jayanthipuram, Jaggaiahpet Mandal, N T R District, Andhra Pradesh, city-based Ramco Cements said in a company statement here.

Crushed limestone would be transported from the mines of Ramco Cements in Budawada to the company’s integrated cement facility located in Jayanthipuram.

The railway wagons would carry

the crushed limestones to a distance of 8.3 kilometers — in which 4.9 km would be on the South Central Main R a i l w a y L i n e c o n n e c t i n g Mellacher uvu to Jaggaiahpet stations, while 3.4 km would be on the dedicated sidings set up by the Ramco Cements.

Ramco Cements is glad to be a part of the Dedicated Freight Corridor under the Gati Shakti Mission, the company said.

Adani Ports set to surpass revised cargo volume guidance of 400 MMT for FY24 : Motilal Oswal

A d a

i Po

a n d Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has s h o w n r o b u s t performance in the first 11 months of financial year 2024 (FY24), achieving a cargo volume of 382 million metric tonnes (MMT), marking a 24 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, analysts noted.

The company’s monthly cargo run rate, reaching approximately 35 MMT, suggests a strong likelihood of surpassing its revised guidance of 400 MMT for FY24, brokerage firm Motilal Oswal said in a note.

With a robust logistics business, APSEZ saw a 21 per cent year-on-year increase in rail volume in FY24.

Its extensive pan-India presence, coupled with strong pricing power and a major proportion of sticky cargo, contributes to its consistent market share gains.

The company’s investment in infrastructure for its logistics business is expected to enhance longterm cash flows and earnings. With a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.5 times as of December 2023, APSEZ maintains a favourable leverage position. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.

The port operator anticipates major growth in the logistics sector, highlighted by its achievement of the highest quarterly rail volume and expansion in warehousing capacity.

Furthermore, the addition of rakes and expansion plans signify its commitment to future growth in the logistics segment, the Mumbai-based brokerage highlighted.

Despite the potential impact of the Red Sea crisis on its traffic, currently c o n s t i t u t i n g a p p r o x i m a t e l y 10 per cent of its total volume, APSEZ remains resilient. However, continued disruption could affect volumes in the long term.

Based on its strong performance and growth prospects, Motilal Oswal analysts project a 10 per cent volume growth and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent, 16 per cent, and 18 per cent in revenue, EBITDA, and profit after tax (PAT), respectively, over financial year 2024-2026 (FY24-26).

Centre exempts gold import by RBI from customs duty, agri cess

NEW DELHI: The Centre recently said that gold imported by the Reser ve Bank of India will be exempted from import duty and A g r i c u l t u r e I n f r a s t r u c t u r e Development Cess (AIDC).

Generally, the import of gold a t t r a c t s 1 5 % i m p o r t d u t y,

including 5% of AIDC

In January the centre raised import duty on gold and silver findings and coins of precious metals to 15%, from 11% This was done to end tax advantage in importing gold and silver in findings form than in bars. India is the

world’s second-biggest consumer of gold, depending almost entirely on imports Based on the latest data till January 2024, gold imports stood at $1 9 billion in the last month, bringing the cumulative imports to $37 85 billion from April-January in FY24.

DP World launches Global Freight Forwarding Network

DUBAI : DP World has inaugurated the latest in a string of more than 100 freight forwarding offices across the world, marking a significant expansion aimed at supporting customers navigating the complexities of global trade.

In response to increasing disruptions to global trade –from climate change, geopolitics and macroeconomic challenges – DP World has embarked on a bold initiative to bolster its commitment to its customers.

The offices already employ 1,000 staff, adding to DP World’s already 108,000-strong team and this is expected to grow significantly over the next 12 months, helping move more than 10% of global trade every year

Fuelled by global trade disruptions, businesses are now prioritising dynamic strategies to build resilience into their supply chains, according to Economist Impact research1. The traditional asset-light freight forwarding model, which moves cargo via third parties, has proven to be susceptible to disruption at key chokepoints and can have knock-on effects for inventory and fulfilment planning for businesses and their customers.

With businesses seeking increased control over their supply chains, DP World’s expansion comes at a pivotal time for the global logistics and supply chain industry. By expanding its freight forwarding offering, with a focus on air and ocean freight, DP World will deploy its ‘toolbox’ of services or capabilities made up of ports, terminals, warehouses, trucks, rail and shipping services to increase control and resilience, supported by proprietary digital technology, whilst also working with complementary partners across the supply chain to boost efficiency

Miami is the latest office to open its doors, as DP World builds on its end-to-end network of high-value port assets and specialist expertise across ports, trucking, air and ocean freight, customs and warehousing services that spans over 430 business units in 86 countries.

Beat Simon, Group Chief Commercial Ofcer, Logistics at DP World, said: “Our expansion in freight forwarding complements our end-to-end supply chain solutions and capabilities. Our asset – appropriate approach

is a step-change for the freight forwarding industry that puts customers in the driving seat with more visibility and control and giving them confidence to trade in today’s global market.

“As we continue to grow our freight forwarding footprint, we are building a network that will cover more than 90% of global trade. We are focused on densifying our network as we build a best-in-class, strong and resilient global capability.”

The growing service currently spans order and origin management, port handling and freight management for ocean and air, and at-destination services such as customs, drayage, logistics, last-mile delivery, deconsolidation and bonded warehousing services. Additionally, DP World offers a variety of value-add services including embedded trade finance, commodity-specific services, cars in containers, transload and advanced hubs and more.

This is all accessed through a single digital window that is backed by an integrated Global Services Centre that centralises back-end processes, made up of over 500 IT specialists. The advanced digital system means customers can track their goods in real time and easily manage their cargo journey

Marco Nazzari, VP Commercial Freight Forwarding at DP World said: “Our freight forwarding service uses our proprietary digital technology solutions to simplify global trade for our customers and give them more control. However, it’s not just our digital solutions that offer a nextgen freight forwarding service: our people are foundational to our customers’ success. We employ over 1,000 team members and will continue to grow

“Leveraging an asset-appropriate approach, DP World utilises its digital tools, alongside the expertise and local know-how of its team, to make freight forwarding easier and more resilient from end to end.”

DP World’s latest expansion is not only increasing the size of its global logistics team to more than 45,000 employees but also contributes to the company’s total global workforce of nearly 110,000 people. These employees are distributed across a diversified portfolio of logistics services spanning: ports and terminals, marine services, and logistics.
