Allcargo Global Logistics

Allcargo Global Logistics - key points.

The global recession has led to slowdown in the global trade. There has been significant slowdown in major export markets like US and Europe. Due to this the import and export activity in India has been significantly impacted. India's total exports have registered de-growth. India's exports have registered negative growth rate for four consecutive months. This has led to lower number of container handling at the Container Freight Station (CFS) facilities.

However due to liquidity crunch the importers are keeping the containers for longer durations with the CFS thereby increasing the ground rent income for the CFS players like Allcargo. This is compensating for the fall in volumes handled at the CFS.
