The Gulf\u2013India\u2013East Africa (GIA) links JNPA, Mundra, Dar es Salaam, Mombasa, and JNPA on a 35-day rotation, arguably a more competitive option than other networks previously available for the promising India-Africa market.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the entrenched operators, Indian shippers have seen capacity coming from new market entrants, like Vietnam-based Hai An Lines, which last month launched the standalone CVI service connecting Chennai, South-east Asia and China, with the 1,800-teu <em>Haian Beta<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Industry sources believe this frenzied capacity influx reflects carrier expectations of sustained growth opportunities ex-India, as the economy is forecast to expand faster than other traditional emerging markets. Its real GDP is estimated to have recorded an impressive 7.8% expansion in Q1 of fiscal year 2026-27, according to the latest government data.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting that buoyant economic outlook, container volumes through Indian ports, especially JNPA, have gained measurable pace this year.\u00a0JNPA hit its highest-ever monthly throughput last month, handling some 865,000 teu, up from 680,000 teu in October 2025, with year-to-date volumes reaching 5.5m teu, a 19% spike year on year, data shows.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the geopolitical challenges, India\u2019s export sector has remained resilient through 2026, industry participants also claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur exporters continue to respond to uncertainty with agility, strengthening their presence across markets and product categories,\u201d said SC Ralhan, president of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe broad-based contribution of traditional and emerging sectors adds depth to this performance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 November 2026 Indian trades are seeing a fresh wave of container capacity injections by Asian carriers, as regional freight demand remains upbeat.
