In our study, we applied bibliometric analysis techniques to explore the research trends in goods transportation. The Scopus database is selected for our research works. Since the extracted datasets from the Scopus database are effectively useful for bibliometric and descriptive analysis using VOSVIEWER software and MS-EXCEL. This study used six research contributions to find out descriptive statistics such as year—wise publications trend, document type, publisher contribution summary, percentage of articles vs subject category, the contribution of authors and their countries based on the total number of publications and their corresponding total citations, the reputation of documents and journals according to the total citations that occurred over the period by performing citation analysis, the intellectual structures of goods transportation by performing co-citation analysis with co-cited authors, to identify the trends involving goods transportation by performing keywords co-occurrence analysis, and to know the research gaps and further research directions on goods transportation. This research study has found gradual results of goods transportation from 2000 to 2021 and performed network analysis to get the intellectual structure and emergent themes in goods transportation, such as dangerous goods transportation, railway goods transportation, technology enhancement in goods transportation, and sustainability perspectives. This study was limited to documents that were retrieved from the largest database Scopus. Those which are not incorporated here are not part of the study, which may or may not affect our research findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt at the evolution of documents about goods transportation by using bibliometric tools.

However \\increasing urbanization and growth of organized retail, food servicing and food processing sector are enhance the growth of cold storage chain industry in India. Also, the Government of India has taken several policy level and schematic steps to increase investment in this sector. This report gives an overview of the cold storage facilities in India including present storage capacity, trends, and Government initiatives like start up, growth enablers, challenges and key success of this industry.

In this era of globalization every country is adopting the policy of import substitution and export Promotion. For the export promotion many countries such as USSR, Mexico, and Jordan etc. adopted the policy of Special Economic Zones (SEZ). It was believed that the SEZ are the instrument of export promotion, earners of foreign exchange, stimulator of employment and foreign investment. Special economic zones concept has evolved across the globe and several developing countries have adopted this policy for set-up of industrial zones that focus on exports and helps in generating economic opportunity and able to attract Foreign direct investment. So SEZs can be defined as a geographically delimited area which is physically secured, has single window clearance system, less complicated administrative unit and duty free environment. In this paper, an attempt is made to review the concept of Special Economic Zone and its impact on the exports from India. The study is based on secondary sources of data and it covers for the period of recent ten years.
The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is required for a country, when domestic capital is inadequate for the purpose of enhancing economic growth. India needs substantial foreign capital inflows to achieve the economic growth and development. In an emerging economy like India, the Hotel & Tourism services contributes significantly to the country’s GDP as well as Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEE). India has significant potential to become a preferred tourist destination globally. Its rich and diverse cultural heritage, abundant natural resources and biodiversity provides numerous tourist attractions. Since 1991, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the developing countries has been the leading source of external financing and has become a key component of national development strategies for almost all the developing countries in the world. Foreign Direct Investment up to 100 percent is allowed in Hotel and Tourism sector under Automatic route. The contribution of FDI in Hotel & Tourism sector is stimulating the economic growth or not, this knowledge thrust of researcher creates the interest in conducting this study. In this paper, an attempt is made to review the concept of FDI and its impact on the Hotel & Tourism sector in India. The study is based on only secondary sources of data and it covers for the period of recent ten years. The study shows a positive correlation between Foreign Direct Investment Equity inflows and Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEE) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Hotel & Tourism sector in India during the period of the study.
