Indian exporters are currently facing a major problem. The massive influx of Bangladeshi clothing through Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport to Europe, Canada and the United States creates a space shortage for their own goods.
This increase in Bangladeshi exports via Delhi is the result of geopolitical disruptions and difficulties in movement through the Red Sea. Since February, Bangladesh has changed its clothing export route from Calcutta to Delhi. If this change has solved a problem of Bangladesh's export, it causes severe congestion at Delhi airport, blazes the air freight rates already doped by the Red Sea crisis, and causes delays in the handling of goods. The space constraints at Delhi airport have cascaded into other Indian airports.
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has suggested setting up a « landing tax » to increase capacity, reduce freight costs and avoid delays in shipping. Echoing these proposals, the AECC (Apparel Export Promotion Council) called on the government to regulate the transshipment of goods exported from Bangladesh via the Delhi air freight complex, fearing a too strong impact on the competitiveness of the Indian clothing industry.
