Indian authorities planning a state-of-the-art cold storage facility at one of the country’s leading airports are currently hashing out project details.
Earlier this month, India’s Union Minister of Commerce, Anand Sharma, visited the Bangalore region on a tour of infrastructure projects in the country’s southeast, where he announced a new campaign to help the country’s export industry.
It is understood that plans are in the pipeline to build special facilities at Kempegowda International Airport to store perishable fresh produce, although officials are remaining tight-lipped about the precise details until the report has been finalized.
They say a government document is currently being drafted, although it is believed that it may be based on other models at the airports of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Kochi, which already have similar facilities to store fresh produce.
The Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has confirmed it is working alongside the government to boost export volumes of fresh produce.
