BACKGROUND

  • The logistics industry in India has been rapidly growing in recent years, driven by the country’s expanding economy, rising consumer demand, and increasing globalization. The sector comprises a wide range of activities, including transportation, warehousing, inventory management, packaging, and other related services.
  • India’s logistics industry is essential to the country’s economic growth and development, as it plays a vital role in facilitating the movement of goods and materials across the country.
  • According to industry estimates, the logistics sector accounts for around 14% of India’s GDP and employs more than 22 million people.
  • India is projected to grow to US26t by FY48. India’s transportation and logistics sector can act as the backbone to support this fast-paced growth, which the country is poised to achieve in the next 25 years. India’s freight movement is heavily skewed toward road transportation, which moves 66% of cargo (in ton-km). This is followed by rail (31%), shipping (3%) and air (1%).
  • Despite its significant contribution to the Indian economy, the logistics industry faces several challenges. These include inadequate infrastructure, inefficient supply chains, complex regulatory requirements, and a lack of skilled labor.
