Cabinet Approves 10,000 Crore Scheme to Boost Container Manufacturing; Female Workforce Growth Driven by Less-Educated Women
The Union Cabinet approved a 10,000 crore Container Manufacturing Promotion Scheme to boost India's domestic shipping container production from 70,000 to 750,000 TEUs annually by FY40. This aims to reduce import dependence and strengthen supply chains. Shipping containers are vital for India's maritime trade, which accounts for 95% of merchandise volume. Separately, a report by Icrier highlights that growth in India's female workforce is mainly driven by women with lower education levels, while higher-educated women participate less, citing household responsibilities as a key factor.
