Trade (contd.)
Positive demand in Europe, North America, South Americaneconomies, as well as rising imports from China tethered thecontainer traffic growth at Indian ports.
Trade with western countries continues to dominate as India’sexport market with a share of 72% of the country’s totalexports.
Imports from western countries are gradually declining anddecreased from 59% in 2011 to 51% in 2016.
Import from eastern countries reached 49% in 2016 from 41%in 2011.
47
Trade (contd.)
The market share of major ports declined from 92% in 2005to 63% in 2016 while market share of non-major portscollectively surged to a whopping 37% in 2016 from 3% in2005.
On the west coast, JNPT that had a share of 66% traffic backin 2010 slipped to 48% by 2016. On the other hand, Mundraexpanded its share from 18% to 35% during the same period.
On the east coast, Krishnapatnam and Katupalli that startedoperations from 2013, currently hold a market share of 5%and 8% respectively while Chennai’s share plummeted from52% to 41%

Trade (contd.)
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
Rail -The backbone
◦ Containerization had significant impacts on rail transportation and
spurred the development of intermodal rail services that are
specific to rail.
◦ Indian Railways carry 36% of freight traffic in India in train km
terms, as compared to 23% in China, 48% in USA and only 10% in
Europe.
◦ More than 60,000 kms of tracks
◦ Carries more than One Billion MT cargo every year
◦ 60% of rail freight traffic is carried on 16% of rail route kms.
◦ Railways handled more than 1.16 Billion tons of freight in 2017-18
and is poised to grow further.
◦ Delhi-Mumbai route is working on more than 100% line capacity
utilization.
49
Road/Truck :-
◦ Trucks are highly flexible vehicles able to carry almost every types
of cargo over short to medium distances.
◦ Package trucks are commonly used in urban freight distribution
since they carry a variety of cargo (in boxes or pallets)
◦ Less than truckload (LTL) carriers usually consolidate and
deconsolidate loads coming from different customers, which is
common in the parcel carrying business.
◦ Truckload (TL) transportation carries large volumes that have been
broken down into the largest possible truck load unit; several
truckloads are required to fulfill an order.
◦ Trucks using chassis are able to carry domestic and ISO containers
(20 and 40 feet).
50
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
India has second largest road network in the World with 41
lakh kms roads criss-crossing the subcontinent.
Roads carry around 57% of freight traffic.
National Highways: 1.7% of total road network
State Highways: 3.6% of total road network
Major district roads: 6.5% of total road network
Other district & rural roads: 88% of total road network
Majority of freight traffic is carried on 12% of road network.
Share of road in freight traffic has grown from 14% to 57%
from 1951 to 2013.
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
Maritime.
◦ Through the application of the principle of economies of scale
maritime shipping has developed specialized ships to carry break
bulk, dry bulk, liquids, vehicles (RoRo) and even liquid natural gas.
◦ Container shipping has also become a dominant maritime modal
option supporting commercial transactions with multiple origins,
destinations and cargo owners.
◦ The standard ISO containers of 20 and 40 feet are the main unit
sizes, which has been adapted to carry refrigerated goods (reefers)
and even liquids (tank containers).
◦ The dry maritime container is the most dominant container cargo
unit.
52
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
Air ◦ Air packages are generally carried in unit load devices,
on dedicated freight planes (freighters).
◦ Heavy loads, such as vehicles, require specialized cargo
planes and are commonly used by the military and for
emergency deliveries.
53
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
Inland / Coastal
◦ India has an extensive network of inland waterways in the form of
rivers, canals, backwaters and creeks.
◦ Of the total navigable length of 14,500 km, 5200 km of the river and
4000 km of canals can be used by mechanized crafts.
◦ India has recognized 106 waterways of which 6 are declared as national
waterways.
◦ Economic viability of a waterway to carry traffic as an alternative to rail
and road depends on its length which should be a minimum 500 km and
250 km for both cases respectively.
◦ Domestic waterways are cost effective as well as environmentally
friendly means of transporting freight, For eg:- cost of moving coal via
coastal shipping is one-sixth of the cost of moving it by railways.
54
Modal Split & Assessment (contd.)
The External Environment
Movement of bulk commodities is one of the major responsibilities of India's
transportation system.
Thermal coal alone accounts for around 61 percent of the freight volume on the
Indian Railways and 24 percent of the seaport freight mix.
Water currently contributes less than 10 percent to India's modal mix.
China uses its inland waterways to transport raw material and finished goods
between Eastern and Western provinces; water contributes 24 percent to China's
freight modal mix.
Australia carries 17 percent of goods through coastal shipping. In Germany, 11
percent of goods are moved through inland waterways and coastal shipping.
India is one of the fastest growing major economies in the world with an expected
GDP growth rate of 7.5% in 2015-16
India's long coastline of 7,517 km and a navigable inland waterways of 14,426 km
offers immense potential for development
4th most attractive FDI destination in the World as per UNCTAD
Over the last decade, seaborne trade has grown at twice the global
growth rate of 3.3%
Maritime Container trade has grown at 6.5%, which is higher than the
world average of 5.4% over the past 10 years (FY 2005 - 2015)
Cargo traffic at Indian ports has doubled to 1 billion tonnes per annum
over the last decade (FY 2005 - 2015) and is expected to reach 1.7
billion tonnes per annum by 2022
US$ 2.6 Bn INVESTED IN Ports and Shipping sector between 2011 and
2014.
150 + projects identified in Indian maritime sector offering
numerous investment opportunities
The External Environment (contd.)
India with long coastline, spanning 7516.6 kilometers, forming
one of the biggest peninsulas in the world. It is serviced by 13
major ports (12 government and 1 corporate) and 187 notified
minor and intermediate ports.
These ports account for nearly
90% (by volume) of India’s
international trade. Yet, coastal
shipping accounts for only 6-7
per cent of the country’s total
domestic freight (on a tonne-km
basis).
Drivers for container trade growth
The future of container growth in India is bullish in the wakeof various policy initiatives such as Make in India, Goods andServices Tax (GST), Digital India, new Foreign Trade Policy andport linked infrastructure projects.
New Foreign Trade Policy (FTP):- Under the new ForeignTrade Policy (2015 – 2020), India aims to increase its share inthe global trade to 3.5% by 2020.
◦ Incentives to agricultural exports and extension of the same underMerchandise Exports from India Scheme to units in SEZ are part of thenew FTP.
58
Infrastructure projects linked to port:- Multiple infrastructureprojects, eyeing to improve India’s logistics efficiency andhinterland connectivity, will boost the containers business inIndia.
◦ Multi-modal terminal under Jal MargVikas project:-
170 crore multi-modal terminal at Varanasi, under the Jal Marg Vikasproject that will open before December 2018 will be a major logisticshub connecting North India to North East India.
The government will also develop 35 multi-modal logistics parks forfreight aggregation and distribution, multi-modal transportation andwarehousing.
59
◦ Port based multi-product SEZ at JNPT:- First of its kind, a port-based SEZ at JNPT will be developed with Free
Trade Warehousing Zone, Engineering Goods sector, Electronics &Hardware sector and Pharma sector.
◦ Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC):- DFC will provide logistics support for the Make in India initiative. Two
of the three DFCs are scheduled to be operational in the next twoyears. DFC will reduce the inland transit time significantly.
◦ Sagarmala programme:- The Indian government is implementing the Sagarmala programme in
phases, spanning over 20 years from 2015-35.
Four hundred and fifteen projects have been identified for portmodernisation, new port development, port connectivityenhancement and port linked industrialisation
60
Proposed transhipment hubs in the south:-
◦ The government has approved ₹ 27,000 crore port project at Enayam.
◦ The port is expected to become a gateway port for India by shiftingcontainers that are currently transhipped at Colombo or South EastAsian ports such as Singapore or Port Kelang.
◦ This will act as transhipment hub for cargo from Bangladesh andMyanmar, which are currently being transhipped at Colombo or otherSouth East Asian hubs.
◦ The ₹7,525 Vizhinam port, currently being developed by Adani thatenjoys a natural draft of more than 20 metres is another port that willcompete as a transhipment hub.
61
New Initiatives-DPD
The government's new initiative Direct Port Delivery (DPD )to reduce dwell time and transaction cost for the shipperscould make some substantial savings of time and money forimporters.
With DPD, importers can bypass clearances with shippinglines, custom house agents, Customs, consignees and CFSoperators through a streamlined procedure, allowing importcontainers to be delivered to the end user directly at the portwith an average dwell time of only 1.5 days from 9-10 daystaken earlier.
