India’s logistics sector is rapidly growing, driven by expanding trade, e-commerce, and infrastructure development. The industry, valued at over $200 billion, is expected to grow at a 10-12% CAGR, fueled by government initiatives like Sagarmala and Bharatmala for port and highway development, and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which has streamlined operations. 

With increasing demand for efficient supply chain solutions, there is significant scope in warehousing, cold chain logistics, and last-mile delivery services. Major players in the sector include DHL India, Blue Dart, Transport Corporation of India (TCI), Premier Roadline Limited, and Mahindra Logistics, all of which are innovating with technology and expanding their operations. The future of India’s logistics sector looks promising, with advancements in automation and digital platforms driving growth and efficiency. 

Government’s Push for Logistics 

The Indian government has been actively supporting the growth of the logistics sector through various initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and operational efficiency. Programs like Sagarmala (for port modernization) and Bharatmala (focused on highway development) are enhancing connectivity across the country. 

Additionally, the National Logistics Policy (NLP) aims to reduce logistics costs and improve efficiency. The government is also promoting logistics parks, warehouse development, and the adoption of digital technologies to further boost sector growth and make India a global logistics hub. Besides this, the government’s push for infra development is also helping the logistics sector in the country.
