The Indian government will develop an air cargo community system through a public private partnership to try and reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of processing airfreight shipments.
A report by an Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation committee said that it backed having a single window system for the air cargo community to interface with Indian Customs systems to facilitate the “seamless movement of goods and information”.
Ministry of Civil Aviation senior advisor Renu Singh Parmar, who headed up the committee, said: “Each air cargo shipment on average carries around 30 types of documents and well over 100 copies, thus resulting in significant documentation overheads, increased dwell times and supply chain opaqueness.
“To facilitate the ease of doing business, it is recognised that an electronic platform be put in place to digitise key stakeholder interactions.
“This electronic platform can allow the reusability of data thereby eliminating duplicate data entry, reducing unnecessary paperwork by giving authorised access to data to the relevant supply chain stakeholder and bringing in supply chain visibility thereby reducing inventory and other transaction costs related to air cargo movement.”
