‘The corridor will strengthen supply chain resilience & open new trade lanes’

 

C K Govil, CMD, Activair Airfreight said, “The proposed India–Russia–China economic corridor has the potential to significantly accelerate EXIM trade by creating a faster, more cost-efficient and multimodal link between major manufacturing and consumption markets. By reducing transit times, improving rail–road–sea connectivity, and diversifying routes beyond traditional chokepoints, it will strengthen supply-chain resilience and open new trade lanes for high-value and time-sensitive cargo.

For freight forwarders and cargo agents, the corridor promises increased cargo volumes, expanded cross-border logistics opportunities, and the ability to offer more competitive transit solutions. It will also spur demand for specialised services—multimodal documentation, value-added logistics, customs expertise, and digital track-and-trace—placing Indian agents at the centre of a rapidly evolving Eurasian trade ecosystem.

In my view, this corridor could be a strategic game-changer, positioning India not only as a key transit hub but also as a pivotal logistics partner in the emerging tri-nation economic architecture.”
