JNPT reduces number of documents to ease business

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) chairperson Anil Diggikar has said they have reduced the number of documents required by the port to bring down the waiting time for tractor trailers (TT). “First thing we did was to reduce the number of documents required by the port. Currently, we require only one document from the trade and that too is made online. This obviously helped in reducing the waiting time for tractor trailers (TT),” said an official statement quoting Diggikar. Stating that the ease of doing business at JNPT is at par with its global counterparts now, Diggikar said: “The major initiatives taken by JNPT are switching over to e-platform for all its commercial procedures and improving its road infrastructure to streamline the traffic.” http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/jnpt-reduces-number-of-documents-to-ease-business/
