Govt Mulling Air, Sea Options As Iran-US War Chokes Cargo Flow, Says Freight Operators' Body

In response to the escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, which have significantly disrupted global cargo flows, the Indian government is actively exploring alternative transportation routes. The chief of the freight operators' body has revealed that an inter-ministerial group has been established to address these challenges. The ongoing conflict has led to increased shipping costs and delays, prompting Indian logistics stakeholders to seek solutions that include air and sea transport options. This initiative aims to mitigate the impact of the war on trade, ensuring that goods can still move efficiently in and out of the country. As the situation develops, the freight industry remains vigilant, working closely with the government to navigate these turbulent times and maintain supply chain integrity.
