Rizwan Soomar, CEO and MD, MENA and India Subcontinent, DP World, said, “India’s economic growth over the next decade will be shaped by the strength and efficiency of its logistics backbone. Budgetary investments in port-led, multimodal connectivity, particularly rail-based freight corridors, inland terminals, logistics hubs, and green infrastructure, will reduce trade costs, improve manufacturing productivity, create employment, and accelerate GDP growth. By mobilising private capital, enabling a shift from road to rail and waterways, and integrating domestic supply chains with global trade networks, India can scale as a competitive, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing and trading hub.”
