With tensions in the West Asia disrupting key shipping routes, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) has stepped in with major relief measures for exporters, days after the India-flagged LPG vessel Green Asha successfully docked after navigating the volatile Strait of Hormuz.

In a significant move aimed at easing financial stress, JNPA announced a 100 per cent waiver on ground rent and dwell time charges for up to 15 days for export containers stranded at port terminals due to the disruptions. Additionally, exporters handling perishable cargo will get an 80 per cent waiver on reefer plug-in charges.
