‘Faster processing will boost express logistics, e-commerce growth’

Kamal Jain, Director, Cargomen Logistics said, “Relaxed cargo re-screening rules in India are set to transform the air cargo industry by eliminating redundant X-ray checks at transfer airports. Under new BCAS guidelines, secure shipments sealed and held in Transfer Cargo Security Hold Areas can bypass re-examination, cutting ground delays and handling times. This streamlining reduces operational costs, boosts cargo throughput and enhances reliability, positioning India as a competitive air freight hub alongside Dubai and Singapore. Faster processing will accelerate express logistics, fuel e-commerce growth and help Indian airlines capture more high-value transshipment cargo, all while maintaining strict security through advanced surveillance, secure zones and real-time tracking. This balance of efficiency and safety marks a major leap forward for India’s cargo ecosystem. Though there are risk in bypassing the double check but it will be mitigated through rigorous checking at origin.”
