New Delhi, May 21: A recent report has highlighted that growing chokepoints across key transport and logistics routes are emerging as a major challenge for global trade flows and supply chain stability.

According to the findings, disruptions at critical maritime passages, over-reliance on limited trade corridors, and geopolitical tensions are contributing to increased uncertainty in international shipping and freight movement.

The report notes that these bottlenecks are affecting the efficiency of global supply chains, leading to delays, higher transportation costs, and added pressure on exporters and importers worldwide.

It further observes that concentrated dependency on a few strategic routes has made global trade more vulnerable to sudden disruptions, underscoring the need for diversified and resilient logistics networks.

Experts cited in the report recommend greater investment in alternative trade routes, infrastructure upgrades, and regional connectivity initiatives to reduce dependence on existing chokepoints and strengthen global supply chain resilience.
