While there has been a slowdown in Export volumes in the past six months, signs of recovery are now being seen from April onwards. Import volumes have been growing to a large extent. Our focus remains on improving efficiencies and expanding our network. In the beginning of FY23, we had allocated Rs. 500 crores towards capital expenditure to be utilised by fiscal year 2025, with about Rs. 200 crores already invested thus far towards the acquisition of ICD Kashipur and land procurement and initial development of ICD Jaipur. Our goal is to invest the remaining amount in new projects and we are actively exploring both greenfield and acquisition options in Northern and Central India to expand our network of ICDs in the next two years.”
