Impact of Diwali Holidays on Operations

Table of contents

Dear Customer,

At Freight Systems, we are committed to keeping our clients informed about any developments that may affect our services. With the Diwali festival approaching in the third week of October, we would like to inform you of the upcoming holidays that could affect operations, allowing you to plan your shipments accordingly.

Expected Impact During Diwali Holidays

The Diwali holiday period will likely affect freight movement across India and international shipping channels.

  • Many factories and manufacturing units will be closed for an extended break, reducing the availability of goods for shipment.
  • Major ports and customs offices may operate at reduced capacity, leading to possible delays in clearance and loading/unloading of cargo.
  • Ground transportation, including trucking and rail freight services, might experience slower transit times due to reduced driver availability and operational staff.
  • Warehousing services, including loading/unloading and dispatch operations, will operate on a reduced schedule.

Tips for Efficient Shipment Planning

  • We encourage you to schedule your shipments well in advance of the holiday period, to avoid congestion and delays.
  • Due to limited operations, expect longer transit times. We suggest adding a buffer of extra days to your shipment timeline.
  • Where possible, consider shipping during off-peak periods (before or after the holiday season) to avoid congestion and secure better service availability.

We remain committed to minimizing any disruption to your logistics operations. Our team will be operating on a limited schedule during the Diwali holidays, but we will strive to provide you with timely support and updates on your shipments. If you need any further assistance, please reach out to our customer service or sales team at info@freightsystems.com.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our services.

Wishing you a prosperous and joyous Diwali!

Regards,

Team Freight Systems
