The government has rolled out a series of measures to stabilise trade flows and energy supply chains amid disruptions caused by the ongoing West Asia crisis, including a temporary fee waiver for export containers at Mundra port, as per news reports.
A 15-day waiver on port-related charges has been introduced for containers destined for the Middle East from Mundra port.
The move is aimed at reducing cost pressures on exporters and ensuring smoother cargo movement despite logistical uncertainties in the region.
It is reported that the initiative is designed to maintain continuity in trade and minimise bottlenecks as global shipping routes face disruptions.
At a high-level briefing, authorities highlighted ongoing coordination across ministries to monitor developments and respond proactively.
Discussions at the diplomatic level have also underscored the need to keep global shipping routes secure and operational.
The emphasis remains on safeguarding international trade channels and ensuring that supply chains remain resilient despite geopolitical challenges.
To prevent any disruption in domestic energy availability, oil marketing companies have intensified monitoring and enforcement actions.
Surprise inspections are being carried out, and irregularities in LPG distribution are being addressed through targeted raids.
Authorities have clarified that there is no shortage of cooking gas, with supply chains functioning normally. Increased demand is being managed effectively, supported by high levels of digital bookings and stable delivery systems.
Smaller LPG cylinders are being prioritised to support migrant populations, while piped natural gas connections continue to receive attention.
In parallel, steps have been taken at the city level to ease infrastructure execution. In Delhi, road restoration charges have been waived to facilitate faster completion of essential works linked to utilities and logistics.
These measures collectively aim to reduce friction across the supply chain and ensure operational continuity.
