A dry port, or inland container depot (ICD), provides a logistics facility away from a seaport or airport for cargo handling, storage, and transportation. It acts as a bridge between sea/air ports and inland regions, facilitating efficient movement of goods. The best part of a dry port is that it handles customs clearance procedures, reducing congestion at seaports/airports.
There are over 330 dry ports operational in India. The first dry port in India was opened in Varanasi in 2018.
