Indian Shippers Face Mounting Costs as Port Terminal Handling Charges Surge
Cargo owners in India are confronting escalating supply chain costs as major container terminals increase their Terminal Handling Charges (THCs). Ports such as Mundra, operated by Adani, and terminals at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) have announced significant fee hikes. These increases are adding substantial financial pressure on shippers already grappling with volatile market conditions. Shipper associations have protested the moves, arguing they are unjustified and exploit the current market situation, further burdening Indian trade.
