Dubai<\/strong>-based logistics giant DP World is moving into the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh to capture cargo flows<\/strong> through a new rail-linked inland logistics hub, Economic Times<\/a> reports.<\/strong> DP World inked an agreement with the Madhya Pradesh government at Davos to develop the logistics.<\/p>\n

Project details: <\/strong>The logistics hub will integrate rail, warehousing, cold chain and cargo aggregation, linking central India directly to Nhava Sheva Port along India\u2019s western coast in Maharashtra to accelerate exports of agri and manufactured goods. Nhava Sheva is the country\u2019s largest container port where DP world owns two terminals. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

Why this matters:<\/strong> DP World already controls critical nodes in India\u2019s maritime gateways and is now moving upstream into hinterland logistics enhancing trade corridors that supply to Gulf and global markets. DP World estimates the hub will cut transit times by 30-40% and reduce post-harvest losses for agricultural produce by up to 25%, improving export margins for Indian producers and throughput volumes for Gulf-owned logistics infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Aiming for a circuit:<\/strong> DP World <\/a>handles<\/a> approximately 26% of India\u2019s container traffic. By expanding into Madhya Pradesh, the company is now securing cargo at the source. This ensures that goods move through their own inland <\/a>rail networks<\/a> before reaching their ships. It represents a strategic investment in a hinterland state that recorded <\/a>exports<\/a> of USD 7.8 bn last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
