The Sindi dry port was inaugurated in December last year.
The plan is to take the cargo by rail to Haldia in West Bengal, from where it would further go to Bangladesh in river vessels. This would reduce the cost of transport, making exports competitive, according to a domestic newspaper report.
The facility is expected to support the export of cotton (from Vidarbha), transmission towers, auto parts, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, tractors amd perishable commodities like oranges.
