The ICSL 2024 will focus on Opportunities and Constraints in Landlocked States.  Landlocked states face specific logistic constraints, arising from their lack of rational connectivity to gateway ports to access international markets. This substantially increases the cost of trade and is a key factor in preventing their effective integration into the global trading system. The geographical challenges of landlocked states are often compounded by weak transit-transport infrastructure. However, there have been some positive developments. As per the government’s perception survey, the average scores across parameters such as quality of roads, terminal, cost of logistics and availability of skilled workforce have improved in Telangana state as compared to 2019.
