BUSINESS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK: i.) Business Initiatives India has 12 major ports and about 187 non-major ports. In Financial Year 2015, major ports handled 581.3 million metric tones (MMT) of cargo, while non-major ports handled 471.2 MMT of cargo. Since ports handle almost 95 per cent of trade volumes in India, the rising trade has contributed significantly to the country's cargo traffic. To support the growing demand, cargo capacity in India is expected to increase to 2,500 MMT by 2017. Indian Logistics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% by 2020 driven by the growth in the manufacturing, retail, FMCG and e-commerce sectors. Today India spends around 14% of its GDP on Logistics and Transportation as compared to less than 8% spent by the other developing countries. Out of the total Exim cargo in India, over 1 million Teus of containerized cargo is moving from the Northern part of India through gateway ports of JNPT, Mundra & Pipavav which in consistently increasing and therefore this part of India has been demanding more Inland Container Depot facilities to be provided to the exporters and the importers for catering to such volumes. This growth will require huge Logistical support in terms of world class infrastructure and Container Train operations for movement of goods across the country. Arshiya is fully geared to cater to the anticipated boom in the Indian Logistics scenario. Rail and Rail Infrastructure In April 2008, Arshiya acquired Category I license to operate pan-India rail service, giving rise to Arshiya Rail Infrastructure. Arshiya Rail is a specialized entity of Arshiya Limited offering unprecedented rail infrastructure, including an abundance of modern rakes, customized containers, new sidings, pan-India network, and superior connectivity. Arshiya Rail has started its Operations in February 2009 with corporate clients by offering unique and specialized services with capability of large scale evacuation of cargo from Plants, Domestic hubs and Customer Sidings.
