CHAPTER 4
Strength:
India has access to two major shipping routes
[Type here]
Weakness:
The underinvestment in the Indias maritime sector has affected the development of ports in the
country
Inefficient judiciary system slow development of new port infrastructure
High levels of bureaucracy prevents the government funding from developing new port
projects in the country
Tax structure not allowing the Indian manufacturers to be competitive <Think this is an
argument Indian exporters are using in lobbying rather than being a fact>
Threats:
Major developments taking place in Sri Lanka's port sector may reduce demand for
transshipment services at Southern Indian ports. A government tax on iron ore exports may lead
to a fall in bulk shipments at major export terminals.
[Type here]
India's ports have suffered from congestion during 2011, potentially slowing the country's
growth trajectory.
Opportunities:
Indian shipping companies having acquisitions with foreign shipping companies
More than USD $4bn is expected to be invested in India's port sector.
New major container terminals being developed at the port of Chennai and Mumbai
Cargo volumes are expected to grow with an average of 16.5% year on year in the coming 510 years

various type of documents which are needed during the export process?

program, there was a discussion with consultant and Manager Munish Rana about the Company
and the procedure followed during the export process and custom clearances, study material was
provided by the consultant Mr. V.K. Batra and observative research is done by studying the
various procedures and comparing them with procedure followed in the industry. Study made me
aware of various export documents and authorities who issue the documents. All documents
[Type here]
which are needed at time of claiming the shipment and at time of sending the shipment are part
of export process and there are various different authorities who issues different documents in
India and these documents are base of export process. After studying and research I found how
the documents are issued and which Government authority issues which Document, and where
these documents are needed.
