With the commencement of work, Mysuru region will see the infusion of fresh air into her saturated industrial environment. With no sea port/ airport nearby, exporting goods from the region has been very cumbersome, as the goods have to be transported by trucks on the congested roads. Because of this, it is becoming expensive to export from the region. This is one of the major stumbling blocks for new investments as of now.

With the realization of ICD/ MMLP at Kadakola, all hurdles for the exports will disappear. Since the complex will house a full-fledged customs office, getting customs clearances will be a breeze. The exporters now have to just seal their goods in the containers, obtain customs clearance, stick the “QR Code” to the container and send it directly to sea ports – Chennai OR Mangalore for exports. The MMLP operator can take the entire responsibility of packaging, storing and freight forwarding of the goods to the port. So, the entire task is outsourced to them.

This saves a whole lot of time and effort for the manufacturers, as they can concentrate on their core businesses instead of wasting time on works which won’t add any value to their businesses.
