Industry Overview

Logistics sector in India is transforming at an unprecedent pace due to key factors like changing global and local trade dynamics, growing manufacturing industry, expansion of eCommerce market, sustainability pressures, and large-scale digitisation of supply chain. Sector is breaking away from traditional brick and mortar approach to a more technology enabled sector, enabling businesses of all sizes and individuals from diverse backgrounds to take part in this dynamic and economically important sector. Recognising the strategic importance of Logistics sector and the transformational impact it can have on the overall economy, Government of India has adopted a comprehensive and synergised, `whole of Government' approach to ensure that both demand and supply side fundamentals of the sector are viewed in their entirety with an end-to-end perspective. Traditional sectoral approach has been replaced by a renewed `whole of Government' and `data driven' approach leveraging the power of technology to ensure integrated development of logistics sector in the country. Significant work has been done and continues to be done in planning and delivering pathbreaking improvements in `infrastructure reforms' (Bharatmala, Sagarmala, National Rail Plan, Dedicated Freight Corridors, Jal Marg Vikas, UDAN, etc) and `process reforms' (e-SANCHIT, Unified Logistics Interface Platform, Logistics Data Bank, Port Community System, Sagar Setu - National Logistics Portal - Marine etc). Brick-and-mortar infrastructure reforms coupled with structural and regulatory reforms are enhancing logistics efficiency and Ease of Doing Business in the country. In addition to above measures, Government of India has also prioritized trade facilitation, with regular interventions carried out on the ground. These measures have been recognised in the most recent UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation, where India has the highest rate of implementation of trade facilitation measures in South Asia - 94% (78.49% in 2019). Various reforms, infrastructural upgrades, digitalization, and automation measures have been at the heart of India's trade and economic ecosystem development in recent years. Positive results of this strategy have already started to emerge. In the biennial index prepared by World Bank to assess ease of trade across countries (Logistics Performance Index), India's rank improved from 44 in 2018 to 38 in 2023. The report acknowledged Government of India's efforts to improve supply chain efficiency through investments in trade-related soft and hard infrastructure, including investment in technology initiatives like Logistics Data Bank (LDB). With the launch of PM GatiShakti (PMGS) and National Logistics Policy, 2022, logistics sector has got a new direction and the task of integrating these efforts and magnifying their gains through network effect has been set in motion. While PMGS addresses integrated development of hard infrastructure and network planning, the NLP addresses soft infrastructure and logistics sector development aspect, inter alia, including process reforms, improvement in logistics services, digitisation, human resource development and skilling. Recognising the importance of efficient supply chain for India's development, Government of India has raised the agenda of logistics at a global level now. Logistics for Trade was one of the 5 priority issues discussed by the Trade & Investment Working Group under India's G20 Presidency. Further, the announcement at the G20 Leaders' Summit on the landmark India-Middle East- Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) has the potential to make India an Asian hub in global supply chains. Complementing the vision and strategy of Government of India, States and UTs have made significant progress over the past few years in enhancing efficiency of their logistics eco-system.
