(MENAFNEditorial)
India's state-run major ports continue to be the underperformers in the BRIC country's freight transport infrastructure with volumes at many facilities struggling to grow in recent years. Ports have also been harmed by a ban on iron ore mining and a fall in exports to Europe.
A case in point is the Jawaharlal Nehru Port India's largest in terms of containers handled which has seen a decrease in its box throughput as it continues to chase the elusive fourth terminal. We see strong growth potential in the air freight sector however as air freight and logistics companies look to capitalise on India's growing pharmaceuticals export market though national carrier Air India will struggle to take on this mantle given its financial constraints. The opening up of the air sector to foreign players could provide a boost to the market.

Key Industry Trends
India-Afghan Trade To Be Boosted By New Links: Trade volumes between India and Afghanistan will be boosted thanks to the long-delayed Chabahar port project in Iran moving forward. The port will also offer India greater access to the Central Asian market via Iran.
Network Expansion Will Not Solve All Rail Freight Woes: Plans to improve and expand railway connectivity at India's ports is a positive step for the rail freight sector; however we caution that this move alone will not resolve the underlying fundamental issues that plague the country's rail freight network.
