India set to manufacture containers to boost exports

As India aims to boost its exports, the government is looking at manufacturing containers in a big way while developing a shipping line under the Atmanirbhar Bharat programme.
Containers are required to ship goods. At present, India is solely dependent on the public sector Shipping Corporation of India. While the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has already set up a committee to study the feasibility of manufacturing containers at Bhavnagar in Gujarat, sources said that other such hubs are also being looked at.
