  • Assessing Service Quality Perceptions at Indian Dry Ports: Stakeholders' Perspective via AHP   Order a copy of this article
    by Kannan Kumar, Ram Singh 
    Abstract: This study evaluates service quality at Indian dry ports using the SERVQUAL framework and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The analysis focuses on five dimensions Responsiveness, Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, and Empathy revealing that Responsiveness (31.5%) and Reliability (29.9%) are most critical, while Tangibles (13.8%) and Empathy (5.7%) are less prioritised. Stakeholder preferences varied port operators prioritised operational efficiency, port users valued timeliness and problem resolution, and policymakers emphasised safety and compliance. Preferences also shifted based on the type of goods handled, with high-value goods users prioritising responsiveness and low-value goods users focusing on reliability. The findings call for tailored strategies, including balancing investments in infrastructure, enhancing customer-centric services, and adopting digital solutions. By aligning service delivery with diverse stakeholder needs, Indian dry ports can boost competitiveness, drive export growth, and support Indias broader economic goals. The study offers actionable suggestion to all stake holders for improving the service quality of Indian dry ports.
    Keywords: Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP); SERVQUAL; Dry Ports; Logistics; Multi Stake Holder.
