Future Trends of Indian Logistics Industry
Indias logistics sector attracted huge
investments, leaving behind some of the major
sectors including aviation, metals and consumer
durables. The growths in the retail and
manufacturing industry, commodity markets and
development of SEZs have been key factors in the
growth of Indian logistics industry. Logistics
industry is expected to grow annually at the rate
of 15 to 20 The setting up Special Economic
Zones (SEZs) has led to increased logistics
activities around them. Several logistics parks
have come up at locations like Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai and Hyderabad because of their excellent
port, rail and road connectivity and are
witnessing significant investment in
infrastructure. The Indian logistics sector
growth depends on the growth of its soft
infrastructure like education, training and
policy framework as much as the hard
infrastructure. The future of the industry is
very bright and is sure to witness exponential
growth in the coming years.
