THEME: Engineering Global Reach: Smart Logistics for Saurashtra's Manufacturing Economy — Rajkot & Morbi. A one-day forum bringing manufacturers, exporters, ports, shipping lines, logistics providers, trade bodies and policymakers together to position Saurashtra as a stronger, smarter and more competitive gateway for India's manufacturing-led export growth.
Engineering Global Reach: smart logistics for Saurashtra's manufacturing economy — Rajkot & Morbi.
Saurashtra is emerging as one of Gujarat's most powerful manufacturing and export regions, led by the industrial strength of Rajkot and Morbi. Rajkot's foundries, engineering companies and precision manufacturers supply castings, forgings, CNC components, automobile parts, machine tools and agricultural machinery to global markets. Yet a significant share of this cargo still moves through distant gateways, despite the proximity and capabilities of Deendayal Port (Kandla) and Mundra Port. This presents a major opportunity to improve awareness, strengthen connectivity and reduce logistics costs. Morbi, already a globally recognised ceramics hub, represents the next stage of logistics optimisation through better routing, shipping connectivity, customs efficiency and coastal movement.
Against this backdrop, Maritime Gateway is pleased to organise the Smart Logistics Summit & Awards – Rajkot 2026 on Friday, 30 October 2026, at The Imperial Palace, Rajkot, under the theme: “Engineering Global Reach: Smart Logistics for Saurashtra's Manufacturing Economy – Rajkot & Morbi.”
The summit brings manufacturers, exporters, ports, shipping lines, logistics providers, trade bodies and policymakers together to unlock these opportunities and position Saurashtra as a stronger, smarter and more competitive gateway for India's manufacturing-led export growth to domestic and international markets in the years ahead.
