Business Issue:-
It is noteworthy that GOI is preparing India to become a major hub in ISO
container manufacturing. It is introducing a lucrative PLI scheme alongside a host of other initiatives. An
ecosystem to support indigenous container manufacturing is developed in Bhavnagar in Gujarat, which already
is one of the largest shipping recycling centers in the world. Under Maritime Vision 2030, GOI is investing
heavily in shipping & port infrastructure.
Both local as well as international manufacturers have shown interest in investing in container
manufacturing in India as there is a visible appetite from container railway companies, NVOCCs, shipping
lines, leasing companies, truck lines, etc along the lucrative export market.
Looking at the inherent potential in the Indian market, the client which is a Russia-based quasi-government
entity is mulling to set up an ISO container manufacturing business in India.
