Delhi-Mumbai corridors LDB container visibility tops 1 mn

Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) has said that its initiative Logistics Data Bank (LDB) has crossed the one million mark of export-import containers tracked real time at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) in Mumbai. In a statement, the corporation said that container visibility through the LDB crossed the one million mark at JNPT in just over three months. 

It said, the container visibility was introduced in June this year in three of the port's terminals as a near real-time tracking service for EXIM containers using RFID technology across the western corridor of



India. It also said that the LDB project is well on the way to bringing in radical change in the Indian logistics industry providing transparency and visibility in container transportation that benefits stakeholders across industries. 

It added that the LDB is designed to help reduce shipping lead times, inventory levels and transaction costs and improve the accuracy of production plans. According to the corporation, recently, the LDB added a Google route map view, which enables users to view the location of the 'containers in transit' on Google Maps through a more user-friendly interface.
