‘This move to reduce logistics costs, generate employment’

Sunil Kohli, MD, Rahat Cargo, said, “The government initiative will position airports as specialised export hubs catering to local strengths. The scheme targets perishables and high-value regional goods such as seafood, fruits and vegetables. Dedicated cargo zones, product-specific cold storage, and streamlined customs clearance are being implemented to accelerate exports, minimise spoilage, and meet international quality standards. This tailored approach is expected to reduce logistics costs, boost export competitiveness, and generate employment opportunities in hinterland economies.”
