India continued to strengthen its maritime connectivity and international trade presence through significant developments at Chabahar Port in Iran. The port witnessed continued growth in cargo handling, reinforcing its strategic role in providing India with direct access to Afghanistan and Central Asia while reducing dependence on traditional trade routes. Alongside port development, discussions around improving regional logistics and multimodal connectivity remained a key focus. The shipping sector also saw increasing attention on strengthening supply chains, enhancing cargo movement, and improving port infrastructure to support future trade growth. These initiatives reflect India’s long-term strategy of expanding maritime partnerships, improving regional connectivity, and creating more efficient trade corridors that can support rising export and import volumes.
