Various industries in this hinterland including iron and steel industries, aluminum industries, mineral salts and other industries were analyzed. Future growth plans of various industries existing and upcoming companies were explored and thus resulting cargo requirement was calculated. Integrated logistics cost analysis helped to classify cargo into categories like firm cargo, speculative cargo and spill over cargo.
