JNPT initiatives help to improve dwell time

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) has improved significantly upon its dwell time, reducing its import dwell time from 55.55 hours in 2018-2019 to 37.33 hours in 2019-2020 (until January).

On top of this, JNPT has seen a 33% reduction in road dwell time and a 45% reduction in rail dwell time.

Shri Sanjay Sethi, IAS, chairman, JNPT, added: “These results have been achieved due to the consistent efforts by the port through the three-pronged approach: improvement of infrastructure, simplification of processes and digitisation of activities.”
