Around-the-clock customs clearance facilities will be provided at India's eight major airports and seaports from August 25 to facilitate international trade, according to the nation's Prime Minister's Office （PMO）.
The airports include Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai. The four seaports where the service will be available are Chennai, Kolkata, Kandla and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust （JNPT） and Mumbai.
The around-the-clock, seven-days-a-week operations would begin on a pilot basis with customs operations along with all other complementary services. This would be initially for four months after which efforts would be made to expand similar operations at other locations.
