New Delhi: Exporters and freight agencies Tuesday raised the issue of high terminal handling charges at ports and low usage of dry ports or inland container depots , which add to the overall logistics costs.At a meeting with commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal, they said the fee charged by shipping terminals to store and position containers before they are loaded on a vessel is higher by ₹10,000-15,000 per consignment than what ports charge. “It was a stock-taking meeting on logistics and shipping issues. The government is looking at reducing logistics costs everywhere,” said an official. India aims to cross $800 billion of goods and services exports in fiscal 2025 as against $778 billion in the last fiscal year.
