India initiates anti-dumping probe into PVC resin imports from EU, Japan
NEW DELHI: India has initiated a probe into the alleged dumping of PVC paste resin, used to make artificial leather and other technical textiles' products, from the European Union (EU) and Japan, according to a notification.
T h e c o m m e r c e m i n i s t r y ' s investigation arm, Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), is probing the dumping as imports are allegedly
hurting the margins of the domestic industry
Chemplast Sanmar Ltd has filed an application seeking the imposition of anti-dumping duty, stating that the cheap imports are causing material injury to the domestic industry
" O n t h e b a s i s o f t h e d u l y substantiated written application submitted by the domestic industry and having reached satisfaction based on the
prima facie evidence submitted by domestic industry about the dumping of subject goods the Authority, hereby, initiates an anti-dumping investigation," theDGTRhassaidinanotification If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of anti-dumping duty on these imports. The Finance Ministry takes the final decision to impose duties.
Indian Railways upgrades over 23,000 kms Track for 130 kmph Speed
NEW DELHI: Indian Railways has achieved a significant milestone by upgrading over 23,000 track kilometers (TKM) of the Indian Railways network to support train speeds of up to 130 kilometres per hour (kmph)
This remarkable progress underscores the Government’s commitment to modernizing railway infrastructure, improving connectivity, and reducing travel times for millions of passengers nationwide With nearly one-fifth of India’s railway network now equipped for higher speeds, these advancements have been made possible through robust safety measures such as modern signalling systems and strategic fencing, marking a new era of efficiency and reliability in train travel.
T h e m o d e r n i z a t i o n o f t r a c k
infrastructure involves comprehensive upgrades, including the strengthening of tracks to ensure stability and durability for high-speed operations, the implementation of advanced
operations, and the installation of safety measures such as fencing at vulnerable locations to enhance security and mitigate risks. These efforts align with Indian Railways' goal of fostering a safer and more efficient railway network, catering to the needs of both passenger and freight demands. The upgrades prominently feature sections of the Golden Quadrilateral and Golden Diagonal networks, vital corridors linking the nation’s major cities These routes, which handle a significant
portion of India’s passenger and freight traffic, are now better equipped to accommodate higher speeds, ensuring faster transit and improved logistics. Additionally, around 54,337 TKM of tracks have been upgraded to support speeds up to 110 kmph. This systematic enhancement ensures seamless connectivity across various regions and bolsters the overall operational efficiency ofIndianRailways
Indian Railways’ flagship semi-highspeed train, the Vande Bharat Express, exemplifies the success of these infrastructure improvements. Capable of achieving speeds up to 160 kmph, the Vande Bharat Express symbolizes a new era in Indian train travel, offering passengers a faster, more comfortable, and premium travel experience.
Global consumption shifting to India, emerging Asia from America and Europe: McKinsey
MUMBAI: The global consumption pools are witnessing a significant shift from regions like North America and Western Europe to India and emerging Asia, according to a report by McKinsey Global Institute.
This transformation highlights the growing importance of these regions in the global economic landscape, driven by rising incomes, changing demographics, and evolving consumer preferences.
The report said, "Consumption pools are shifting from North America and
Western Europe to emerging Asia and India. Developing countries will provide a growing share of global labour supply and of consumption, making their productivity and prosperity vital for global growth."
According to the report, India and emerging Asia are poised to account for 30 per cent of global consumption at purchasing-power parity (PPP) by 2050, a substantial increase from just 12 per cent in 1997. In contrast, Advanced Asia, North America, and Western Europe are projected to
contribute only 30 per cent to global consumption, a sharp decline from their combined 60 per cent share in 1997.
This shift, the report noted, carries profound implications for businesses w o r l d w i d e . C o m p a n i e s i n b o t h developed and developing regions must adapt to this evolving market dynamic. As income levels and consumption patterns grow in later-wave regions like India and emerging Asia, businesses will need to recalibrate their strategies to cater to changing local tastes and preferences.
SCI to expand its fleet size; aiming to regain market share
MUMBAI: Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), India’s only long-haul liner operator, is attempting to regain lost ground as the country’s export potential brightens amid the trade diversification in Asia. The 63%-state-owned carrier wants to acquire up to six secondhand containerships, from mid-size to ultra-large, to beef-up operations that have been severely constrained due to tonnage problems and government divestment strategies.
The move comes after the national carrier added one 9,000-teu ship to the India-Europe trade, a market in which it had been in partnership with MSC for some time.
SCI’s acquisition requirements include 12,000-18,000 teu vessels no older than 15 years.
O f l a t e , I n d i a n t r a d e policymakers have been under t r e m e n d o u s p r e s s u r e f r o m exporters to overcome various supply chain challenges, as foreign mainline carriers have a near
monopoly in the market. Trade bodies contend that Indian exporters are always on the receiving end of high freight charges and vessel space unpredictability, as supplydemand equations alter
The Federation of Indian Export O r g a n i s a t i o n s ( F I E O ) n o t e d recently that if the flag-carrier liner could gain a bigger share of the India trades, it would “reduce armtwisting by foreign shipping lines, particularly of our micro-small-tomedium enterprises”.
DGFT launches enhanced eCoO 2.0 system with provisions for back-to-back certificates of origin
NEW DELHI : The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has launched the enhanced Certificate of O r i g i n ( e C o O ) 2 0 S y s t e m , a significant upgrade designed to simplify the certification process for exporters and enhance trade efficiency This upgraded platform offers several user-friendly features, such as multi-user access, which enables exporters to authorize multiple users under a single Importer Exporter Code (IEC). Additionally, the system now supports Aadhaar-based e-signing alongside digital signature tokens, providing greater flexibility An integrated dashboard offers exporters seamless access to eCoO services, Free Trade Agreement (FTA) information, trade events, and other resources. The platform also introduces an in-lieu Certificate of Origin feature, allowing exporters to request corrections to
previously issued certificates through an easy online application process.
As of 1st January 2025, the electronic filing of Non-Preferential Certificates of Origin has become mandatory via the eCoO 2.0 platform, and is available to exporters at https:// t
Certificate of Origin” section This trade facilitation initiative has been streamlining the certification process, and improving turnaround times for exporters, marking a s i g n i f i c a n t a d v a n c e m e n t i n enhancing the Ease of Doing Business The platform processes over 7,000 eCoOs daily, including both preferential and non-preferential certificates, connecting 125 issuing agencies which includes 110 national and regional chambers of commerce & industry, over 650 issuing officers and all Indian exporters under one unified system.
Reference Public Notice 43/202425 dated 27 01 2025, DGFT has introduced the procedure for availing online Back-to-Back Certificates of Origin (Non-Preferential) These certificates cater to goods not of Indian origin, intended for re-export, trans-shipment, or merchanting trade. Issued based on documentary evidence from the foreign country of origin, the Back-to-Back CoO ensures transparency and accuracy by explicitly mentioning details of the origin and supporting documents. This initiative not only simplifies the certification process but also accelerates processing times, making it particularly beneficial for global supply chains involving intermediary trade through India. The enhanced eCoO 2.0 system underscores DGFT’s commitment to facilitating trade and improving the Ease of Doing Business for Indian exporters.
India-China ties : Wang Yi meets Vikram Misri in Beijing, bats for ‘mutual support’ rather than ‘suspicion’
BEIJING: In an effort to improve India-China relations, India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is on a two-day visit to Beijing. Vikram Misri and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for mutual support and understanding during the talks.
“The two sides should seize the opportunity, meet each other halfway, explore more substantive measures, and commit to mutual understanding, m u t u a l s u p p o r t , a n d m u t u a l achievement, rather than mutual suspicion, mutual alienation, and mutual consumption,” Wang said, according to a statement issued by the Chinese foreign ministry in Beijing.
He also said the improvement and development of China-India relations is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples and is conducive to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the global South Asian nations.
During the meeting with Misri, Wang said since the meeting between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in Russia last year, the two nations have earnestly implemented the important consensus reached by the leaders.
Besides being the Foreign Minister, Wang is a member of the powerful political bureau of the ruling Communist Party and China’s Special Representative for the India-
China border mechanism Wang-Doval meet
Misri’s visit to the neighbouring country followed last month’s talks b e t w e e n Wang and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the Special Representative from the Indian side, under the Special Representatives mechanism.
Recently Misri held a meeting with Liu Jianchao, head of the influential International Department of the ruling Communist Party which sets the tone for China’s foreign policy
Both the sides exchanged views on jointly implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two nations.

We expect continued thrust on capital expenditure for physical and digital infrastructure : Suresh Kumar, MD - Allcargo Terminals
Cont’d. from Pg. 3
Continued investment to enhance transport connectivity, rail corridors, incentives for adoption of EV trucks and fiscal benefits for developing EV infrastructure will foster sustainable multimodal connectivity To enhance Export-Import trade, we expect the budget to outline policies to leverage existing assets
and infra -structure in and around ports. For instance, opening up handling of air cargo by CFS-ICDs, exempting any service such as storage handling of containerized Agri products from the purview of GST Continuing export promotion incentives and facilitating the development of export hubs will further strengthen Indian manufacturing to be globally competitive and attract investments which will boost Indian exports.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges : Annual figures show growth despite challenging times
Cont’d. from Pg. 3
Strong container throughput drives growth amid turbulent times
Despite a turbulent economic climate, with rising energy prices, geopolitical tensions and increased international competition, Port of Antwerp-Bruges managed to achieve a total throughput of 278 million tons in 2024, a 2.3% increase over 2023.
Containers were the driving force behind this growth, up 8.9% in tonnage and 8.1% in TEUs. Reefer containers increased by 9.2%, accounting for 8.6% of total container traffic. The market share in the Hamburg-Le Havre Range grew by 0.7 percentage points to 30.6% in the first nine months of the year
Other segments felt the impact of challenging market conditions. The chemicals sector is experiencing its worst years since 2009, while sectors such as construction and automotive were under pressure from high energy and raw material prices and low demand. Instability in the Red Sea and geopolitical tensions led to longer shipping times and uncertainty in international shipping.
Conventional general cargo maintained the status quo (0.1%), with growth in iron and steel throughput (+3.7%) while other product groups declined. RoRo throughput declined 3.4% by 2024, driven by a decline in auto throughput (-10.3%). Dry bulk throughput increased slightly by 0.4%. Coal fell sharply (-35.4%), but fertilisers compensated with 22.9% growth. Liquid bulk experienced a 5.8% decline, mainly due to reduced demand for diesel (-22.3%) and LNG (-21.9%). Chemicals, on the other hand, grew strongly (+14 8%), helped by an increase in biofuels (+60.1%), and despite continued pressure on the European chemicals sector
In 2024, 20,195 seagoing vessels called at Port of AntwerpBruges, a slight increase of 0 2% Zeebrugge welcomed 187 cruise ships and 557,000 passengers in 2024. Port in transition
In 2024, important steps were again taken toward the ambition of becoming a climate-neutral port by 2050, a priority that remains central in 2025. The focus on the circular economy continues to take shape in NextGen District and the innovation hub NextGen Demo. The CHERISH2O project, aimed at purifying and reusing company wastewater, and the Warmtenet Antwerpen Noord, Belgium's first open-access heat network, also contribute to the port's circular ambitions.
In the maritime sector, the first methanol bunkering of a deep-sea vessel marked an important milestone in the development of Port of Antwerp-Bruges as a multifuel port. Shore power projects in Antwerp and Zeebrugge play a vital role in reducing emissions and noise pollution
The installation of one of Europe's largest public charging stations for electric trucks makes the Antwerp port area an indispensable link in sustainable freight transport. In addition, the sustainability of its own fleet continued with innovations such as the Volta 1, Europe's first all-electric tug, and the Methatug, the world's first tug powered by methanol.
Infrastructure: basis for sustainable growth and competitiveness
With the official introduction of a 16-meter draught in 2024, the port has significantly strengthened its competitive position. The record 16.3-meter draught at Zeebrugge,
underscores this progress. At the same time, the ICO RoRo Terminal in Zeebrugge is being further developed, responding
The construction of the new Antwerp Coordination Center will also serve as a strategic hub to optimise the nautical chain and further increase the efficiency of the port.
These infrastructure developments are not only critical to the port's operational performance and sustainable growth, but alsoenhanceitsappealtoinnovativeinvestorssuchasVioneo
In addition to infrastructure, security remains a priority, with the successful roll-out of Certified Pick up releasing more than 1 million containers safely by 2024.
Collaboration as a foundation for success
The ambition of Port of Antwerp-Bruges is clear: to continue to play a pivotal role in energy transition and international trade. To strengthen this role, the port combines its position as a catalyst for investment with strategic investments of its own. Cooperation is indispensable in this regard. Through partnerships with various stakeholders, the port manages to connect economic growth, innovation and sustainability and remains an essential link in the international logistics chain.
Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO Port of Antwerp-Bruges: "Over the past year, we have once again demonstrated our resilience. More than ever, the challenges we face, such as geopolitical tensions, the energy transition and complex permit processes, require cross-border cooperation and a shared vision. Only then will we remain attractive to investors and maintain our strategic role as a pioneer in the industry In addition, the demand for additional capacity continues to grow louder, while security becomes an increasingly important issue. 2025 will undoubtedly be another year of challenges, but also of opportunities. With our unique mix of logistics, maritime and industry, and our strategic location, we are ready to prove our agility once again."
Johan Klaps, Port Alderman of the City of Antwerp: "We look back on 2024 with pride, but forward to 2025 with greater ambition. Our port is the economic engine of Flanders, even in challenging times. And we continue to gain market share in the Hamburg-Le Havre Range. This is due to the efforts of all the employees and companies who give their best every day, and for that I am immensely grateful. To continue to grow sustainably and ensure our position as a world port, dossiers such as ECA are our top priority. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation and strengthening our international position, we continue to invest in a future-proof port that creates prosperity for Flanders and far beyond."
Dirk De fauw, Mayor of the city of Bruges and V i c e P r e s i d e n t o f Po r t o f A n t w e r p - B r u g e s : "The complementarity of our port platforms has once again proven to offer great added value. We are also committed to community involvement, such as with the TV series ‘De Haven’ (The Port) and the future opening of Havenwereld (Port World), to bring the fascinating world of the port closer to the public. At the same time, we are investing in critical infrastructure, such as the renewal of Zweedse Kaai with shore power for cruise ships. I also look forward to the next steps in the NSZ (Nieuwe Sluis/New Lock Zeebrugge) project, which is essential to strengthen our position as a world port and future-proof capacity."
