Exports from Mysuru are growing at the rate of 5% annum and there are over 120 manufacturing units engaged in export business. This was stated by resource persons at an industrial export promotion and awareness camp conducted by the Visvesvaraya Trade Promotion Centre, District Industries Centre, and Mysuru Industries Association here on Tuesday.
The cumulative value of exports in 2021-22 when the world was affected by the pandemic, was pegged at ₹6,100 crore, which increased to ₹6,300 crore in 2022-23, said T. Dinesh, joint director of DIC.
He said export business was set to ease with the functioning of the Container Corporation of India’s Inland Container Depot at Kadakola which would provide a single-window facility for clearing customs and other export-related documentation. Besides, freight services would offer direct connectivity to the nearest port which would not make the cost competitive.
