The transshipment cargo from Bangladesh will reach Delhi via the Benapole-Petrapol borders.

The decision will reduce the shipment cost significantly for manufacturers in Bangladesh and raise the daily export via New Delhi of international cargo, including readymade garments, handloom, footwear, leather products, jute products and pharmaceuticals.

As Bangladesh manufacturers import a lot of raw materials, including threads, textiles, jute and leather, from India, boost in their exports will result in a rise in demand for Indian raw materials in that country, according to Indian media reports.

To ensure ease of doing business, DIAL has created a special truck docking facility and a dedicated X-ray area for the swift transfer of cargo to their outbound locations.
