India has expanded its transshipment air cargo network to four additional domestic origin stations and two international destinations, allowing eligible cargo to move through transit stations without mandatory re-screening. The expanded network now includes Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Hyderabad, along with London and Copenhagen. The move follows the successful Proof of Concept for domestic-to-international transshipment on the Chennai-Delhi-Frankfurt route. The Civil Aviation Ministry said the revised framework is intended to improve ease of doing business and make air cargo movement more efficient. The government also plans to extend the framework to international-to-international and international-to-domestic transshipments.
The government has expanded the transshipment air cargo network to four additional domestic stations and two international destinations, removing the requirement for mandatory re-screening of cargo at transit stations.
Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu flagged off the expanded phase of the transshipment cargo framework at Delhi International Airport Limited's Transshipment Excellence Centre at Terminal 2 of Delhi airport.
The expanded network now includes Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Hyderabad as domestic origin stations, while London and Copenhagen have been added as international destinations.
The move follows the successful Proof of Concept for domestic-to-international transshipment that began on the Chennai-Delhi-Frankfurt route in June. Following the outcome of the trial, the Civil Aviation Ministry expanded the framework to additional stations and destinations.
Under the revised system, transshipment cargo will not need to undergo re-screening at the transit station. The government has introduced the measure as part of efforts to simplify cargo movement and improve ease of doing business in India's air freight sector.
Naidu said the framework will be expanded further to cover international-to-international and international-to-domestic transshipments. The broader network is expected to allow more cargo routes to operate under the simplified transshipment process.
The expansion comes as India continues to strengthen its air cargo infrastructure and improve the movement of goods through major airports. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other major aviation hubs handle a large share of the country's international and domestic air freight, making faster transit procedures relevant for cargo operators and exporters.
