Greetings from CII Goa. The logistic sector has been given an important place in the Goa Investment Policy. Efficient logistics is an essential component of any plan for development of Industry and Trade. Goa has the potential to emerge as a logistics hub in western India. Such a hub would cater not only to Goa but also to large parts of Southern Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka. The increased volume of traffic has opportunities in all facets of logistics including transportation, warehousing, freight forwarding, express cargo delivery, container and shipping services, etc. This requires creating an environment for the Goa logistics market to provide value propositions in logistics solutions. Such solutions will come about as a result of initiatives by the private sector backed up by supportive regulatory environment. CII Goa has taken the initiative to improve the logistics infrastructure and connectivity of Goa with the focus on making the transportation process of goods to their destinations faster, easier and economical. The Conference aims:- · To discuss Specific requirement of Goa’s Exporters and Importers. · Broader context of overall improvement in logistics solutions for Goa and India. · To discuss the broader Indian context of development of Goa’s container trade, · To make the trade aware of the new service and the opportunities it brings. The focus at this conference is to discuss and deliberate on boosting Goa’s container trade as a result of the commencement of a coastal feeder service between MPT at Goa and JNPT as part of the efforts of CII to improve the logistics infrastructure and connectivity of Goa.
