4. Mitigate risk to Indian trade due to dependence on international ports<br />

The current scenario where 25% of the country's EXIM cargo is trans-shipped at international ports is not ideal<br />

since this makes Indian industries vulnerable to increase in costs, potential inefficiencies, congestion issues etc. at<br />

these international ports. This creates long term risks for competitiveness of India's trade and thus is another<br />

important reason for promoting a TS port in India.<br />
