Market Analysis & Forecast
Kolkata to North-East Corridor: We observe a 2.5% increase in rates for 32ft containers bound for Guwahati, driven by infrastructure projects and FMCG restocking. The backhaul (Guwahati to Siliguri/Kolkata) remains slightly softer, though rates for 17ft trucks have firmed up.
Bihar & Jharkhand Lanes: Rates for Kolkata to Patna and Ranchi are largely stable. There is a slight dip in 20ft truck pricing due to increased fleet availability in the region, making it an optimal time for bulk commodity shippers to secure contracts.
Odisha Sector: The Kolkata to Bhubaneswar route continues to show robust, stable pricing with high demand for 14ft trucks. Industrial supplies and consumer durables dominate this corridor.
