An Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara district, which was closed in 2009-10, has been restarted with renovation and expansion for promoting exports from the region. The textile, stone, mineral and other export-oriented industries in and around Bhilwara are set to get a boost with the ICD becoming operational again.
‘Become an exporter’
Under the ‘Mission Niryatak Bano’ (Become an exporter), the dry port has been established through the Rajasthan Small Industries Corporation (RAJSICO) to provide transport facility to the exporters in the region. Industries Minister Shakuntala Rawat said the State government had decided to reoperationalise the ICD in view of the demand raised by the industrial units.
