At any airport round the world, u can come out to the kerb at arrivals and can be picked up by your car
It is of course a quick 5’, ‘load bags n jump in’ pit stop
At @CSMIA_Official (Mumbai Airport) you have no such choice.
You HAVE to go into the parking to collect the passengers. Then wait in line to exit and get slammed for some ₹300 (P6 rates).
A 3-4’ pick up results in a 20-25’ headache
This is such a waste of time and a rip off. The math of this extortion fleecing patrons runs into a massive number for the airport
Should be illegal or poorly planned intentionally
#WATCH | Delhi: On the India-US Interim Trade Agreement, Bhadresh Dodhia, Director of International Trade and Finance at Dodhia Group, says, "...We are looking at a much bigger opportunity. My sincere thanks to our PM Modi and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. They have negotiated a deal that is most beneficial for Indian textiles... We have always been a stagnant textile-exporting country... With this move, for the first time in history, India has got a level playing field in the textile value chain. Now, it’s up to industry captains to capitalise on this. It is not an easy ask to increase exports. We have to up our game. We need to invest in good technology and sustainable practices and position ourselves as the most transparent supply chain..."
#WATCH | If you look at the numbers, today in India the textile share is only 10%, while the US, the biggest market in the world, is a major spender. I’m not suggesting we will immediately reach 50–60%, but even a 1% increase can translate into billions of dollars, creating huge opportunities for investment and employment, says Bhadresh Dodhia, Director, Dodhia Synthetics Limited, from Delhi, on the India–US trade deal.

Congratulations to the Government of India on advancing a key step in India–US trade cooperation. The agreement is expected to provide a positive impetus to the textiles and apparel sector by reducing tariff barriers and widening market access. It will support stronger supply chains and improve export prospects, contributing to growth and employment while strengthening India’s position in the global value chains.

#WATCH | Mumbai | On the GDP growth of 7.8% for Q1 FY26, International Sales & Finance Director of the Dodhia Group, Bhadresh Dodhia, says, "... This is certainly news that delighted the market in the environment of such anxiety and uncertainty. It has also shown the world why India is resilient today on its own, and we don't rely only on the export market. What's good to see here is that it comes after the statement from a world political leader about India being a dead economy. Instead of answering them back or talking much about it, we have shown actually what we are without saying anything..." (30.08)
VIDEO | Mumbai: On India's GDP growth, Director of International Sales and Finance at Dodhia Group, Bhadresh Dodhia says,
"It has surprised us for good reason. From what we have seen and witnessed in the market is that the growth has come from various factors and contributed by various segments. This is much more positive than the numbers because India has shown that we are not overly dependent on a specific sector or an export market. India has in-built strength today."
