Research and Markets: India Freight Transport Report Q1 2012 - Germany-Based DHL is to Offer Regular Connections between Leipzig and Bangalore, According to Reports in October 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e3a824/india_freight_tran) has announced the addition of the "India Freight Transport Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

India's economy and trade continues to expand rapidly. BMI expects this growth to slow, but the expansion will remain considerable over our forecast period. The volumes of dry bulk and containers being processed at the country's facilities are causing congestion at the ageing state-owned ports. This is leading to a raft of new private facilities being established all over the country. These new ports are benefiting from increased inter-modal links with India's considerable rail network.

Rail operators have been introducing new services connecting to ports over the past quarter.
