The proposed
six-month closure of Shiradi Ghat – a significant hyperlink between the coast
and Bengaluru – would trigger large income losses to the state by way of cargo
flowing to the New Mangalore Port Belief, the gateway of Karnataka.
NMPT might lose as much as 50%
of the cargo flowing in via Nationwide Freeway-75
New Mangalore Port
Belief (NMPT) says export-import merchants, Karnataka state and NMPT itself
might lose as much as 50% of the cargo flowing in via Nationwide Freeway-75 to
different states. It says exporters and importers will face large losses on
account of elevated transportation value, which is able to make their items
dearer in worldwide markets denting future orders.
