Addressing these gaps, DP World has developed an integrated ecosystem comprising 3 free trade warehousing zones, 5 million square feet of warehousing space, and a 15,000-pincode express network. As India’s one of the largest private rail freight operator with 16,000+ containers and 7 inland terminals, the company is enhancing critical connectivity between ports, airports, and hinterland markets. Private sector efforts complement government initiatives like the UDAN 5.0 scheme which is upgrading cargo infrastructure at 24+ Tier 2/3 city airports. The convergence of public and private investment is creating seamless logistics solutions that boost India’s trade competitiveness. With the air cargo sector projected to maintain its double-digit growth trajectory, these coordinated developments position India to capitalize on shifting global supply chains and meet rising demand for efficient freight solutions.”
