Vizhinjam port to handle EXIM cargo from August
Vizhinjam port in Kerala is set to begin handling import and export cargo starting in August. While the port currently functions as a trans-shipment hub, this expansion aims to reduce logistics costs for businesses in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
This development significantly improves regional trade efficiency and reduces transportation costs for Indian businesses by providing direct access to international shipping routes.
Vizhinjam port has so far served only as an international trans-shipment hub where mother ships from abroad drop off containers and pick them up. But starting August, the port will be able to handle exim cargo from and for India.
