OSV FTWZ Expands India’s Free Trade Warehousing Network to Eight Major Cities
India's strategic location connects major international shipping routes, but foreign trade faces challenges like compliance complexities and demurrage charges. To address this, the Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) concept was introduced under the Special Economic Zones Act 2005, enabling duty-free trade within specific zones. OSV FTWZ has established India's widest network across eight key cities—Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mundra, Kolkata, Kochi, and Kandla—strategically chosen based on trade flows and industry demand to support seamless foreign trade and compete with global hubs.
