OSV FTWZ Cements Its Position as India's Widest Network across 8+ Major Cities in India

Jul 22, 2026

New Delhi [India], July 22: India, with its strategic location, sits as a central hub for major international shipping channels. From the IMEC route to the Eastern Maritime Corridor, India connects foreign importers to high-demand markets in the Arabian Gulf and Europe. But as soon as a consignment begins its international transit, it is immediately surrounded by uncertainties like port-to-port compliance complexities and detention & demurrage charges. These challenges make foreign businesses think twice before routing their cargo through India. To mitigate these risks, the concept of Free Trade Warehousing Zone was introduced, which is a specific zone under the Special Economic Zones Act 2005 that allows importers to trade seamlessly, without the duty burdens that are applicable to DTA release. The introduction of the policy wasn't enough to encourage foreign trade-- a strong and strategic infrastructure was needed to bring the idea to fruition and compete with already established international distribution hubs like Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. OSV FTWZ answered this infrastructure gap by building India's widest and most trusted FTWZ network -- 8+ strategic locations across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mundra, Kolkata, Kochi, and Kandla -- giving foreign trade the on-ground reach and network the policy alone couldn't provide.
