NSDCA stands in support of the legitimate concerns raised by MECYASA and other industry stakeholders at Mundra.
Established logistics infrastructure built over decades deserves due recognition and continuity.
We respectfully seek withdrawal of the proposed restrictions.

Two publications. One wider industry concern.
Recent coverage in Lokmat and Pudhari highlights the operational, land and traffic challenges across Nhava Sheva’s logistics ecosystem.
Complex supply-chain issues rarely have a single-address solution. Coordinated planning and stakeholder consultation remain essential to protect livelihoods, container availability and EXIM continuity.

Progress begins when every stakeholder is heard.
On 31 July 2026, the NSDCA Core Committee met with members and local landowners from Nhava Sheva to address shared concerns, current challenges, and a coordinated path forward.
PSI Atul Daiphale was also invited to share the policing perspective, receive ground-level feedback and discuss the practical constraints faced by both sides. The engagement reinforced the importance of constructive dialogue, cooperation and balanced solutions.

A digital payment that takes 40 to 60 seconds does not account for system-wide congestion.
Traffic flow at JNPA is influenced by increasing cargo volumes, limited road capacity, terminal congestion, and broader transhipment disruptions. NSDCA member depots implemented digital and UPI payments prior to the current discussion.
Effective resolution requires coordinated, end-to-end planning rather than attributing a complex issue to a single depot-counter transaction.

Congestion does not begin or end at an ECD’s gate.
With depots, CFSs, warehouses, tank facilities and other related facilities sharing the same constrained road network, the solution lies in coordinated planning, not isolated attribution.
Traffic pressure is visible across the JNPA region, where major bridge, airport-road and infrastructure works are progressing without adequate alternative routes, parking zones or interim traffic arrangements.

On 21 July 2026, NSDCA member depot owners convened to discuss significant developments within the JNPA logistics ecosystem.
The meeting covered traffic management, depot turnaround time, long-term operational sustainability and matters concerning member depots. Constructive dialogue, shared responsibility and industry unity remain essential to strengthening Nhava Sheva’s EXIM ecosystem.

The article by NSDCA in EXIM India 06/07/26 emphasises that Empty Container Depots serve as both facilitators of trade and sources of revenue.
The Empty Container Depot (ECD) ecosystem at Nhava Sheva contributes to the economy through GST-linked revenues, vendor payments, transportation activities, micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) business, skilled employment, and allied services throughout the logistics chain.
Each container movement supports a broader economic cycle, encompassing repairs, equipment, fuel, security, maintenance, as well as the involvement of transporters, local vendors, and service providers.
Strengthening ECDs means strengthening trade continuity, livelihood stability and the economic ecosystem that supports India’s EXIM growth.

NSDCA’s article, “Empty Container Depots: The Living Backbone of Nhava Sheva’s EXIM Trade,” has been featured in EXIM India and Daily Shipping Times.
For decades, Empty Container Depots have worked behind the gate, away from the spotlight, absorbing pressure, solving bottlenecks and keeping containers ready for the next movement.
When trade moves smoothly, the depot is often invisible. When trade is disrupted, everyone realises how essential the depot network truly is.
This article is not just recognition. It is a reminder that Nhava Sheva’s EXIM strength depends on a connected logistics ecosystem, with Empty Container Depots playing a vital support role in keeping container movement efficient, reliable and trade-ready.

At the Nhava Sheva Depot Container Association, (CSR Activity) small steps can create lasting change.
Our President, Mr Anil Singh, and Secretary General, Mr Sandeep Naik, visited Dharmaveer Anand Dighe Jiddh School, Thane, to spend time with the children, share moments of joy, and contribute thoughtful and meaningful additions — bringing music to their celebrations and adding energy to their daily activities.
This initiative serves as a reminder that true growth extends not only to trade and logistics but also to uplifting the communities around us. 💙
21 July,25 | A first-of-its-kind gathering where LANDOWNERS and NSDCA member DEPOT OPERATORS across Nhava Sheva came together—not just as stakeholders, but as one community. We came together as one ecosystem, turning our unity into clear plans that empower the workforce driving Nhava Sheva’s import-export chain and build the resilience needed to keep off-dock operations running, whatever challenges arise.
At NSDCA, unity isn’t a word—it’s our working model. Empowerment, our compass. Resilience, our stance.

17 July 25, NSDCA held a focused members-only meeting to realign priorities and reinforce collaboration among depot operators. This session was a step toward bringing key stakeholders into sharper sync with the association’s mission of streamlining empty-container operations across Nhava Sheva.
Throwback: 2 July, 25. An emergency NSDCA roundtable meeting was held, where each member depot operator candidly outlined the burdensome costs and capacity pressures, and, crucially, agreed on a pragmatic, industry-wide roadmap for the long-term sustainability of India’s empty-container network. This focused dialogue led to decisive outcomes, keeping supply chains future-ready.
