They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. Borders are the gateway to growth and development in the trajectory of contemporary economic diplomacy. They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. The reopening of the Nathula trade route in 2016 was realised as a catalyst in generating trust and confidence between India and China. Subsequently, the success of Nathula propelled the academia, policymakers and the civil society to rethink the model in the perspective of Arunachal Pradesh as well. So, the question that automatically arises here is: Should we apply this cross-border model in building up any entrepôt in Arunachal Pradesh? The response is positive and corroborated by my field interactions at the ground level.

  • Uttar Pradesh Warehousing and Logistics Policy 2018
    Uttar Pradesh Warehousing and Logistics Policy 2018 1. Introduction With emergence of new technologies, new customer expectations and new business models, the logistics industry is rapidly expanding round the globe. In terms of revenue, the industry is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.5% between 2015 and 2024 (Transparency International Report, 2016). Asia Pacific is the largest and rapidly growing market in the world, with India as one of most promising markets. India’s logistics performance index ranking has been improving, and shot up by 19places to 35th position in 2016 (World Bank). The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15-20% between 2016 and 2020 (CARE Ratings, 2016), and by 2019 the Indian logistics industry is expected to reach over INR 13,000 Crores. Share of freight transportation in India through road constitutes about 60% of the total freight traffic, while Rail and coastal shipping account for about 32% and 7%, respectively. Share of inland waterways transportation and air is less than 1% each1, signifying scope of expansion with development of National Waterways programme and Regional Connectivity Scheme in aviation sector. Recently, 100% FDI under automatic route for all logistics services has been allowed (except in air cargo and courier where 74% FDI is allowed). And, Goods & Services Tax (GST) is likely to bring down total costs of logistics industry. Earlier, companies had to maintain warehouses in every state due to different taxation slabs2. But with the implementation of GST, the need to have several small warehouses is likely to be mitigated in favour of larger and consolidated warehouses at strategic locations.
