From Gridlock to Growth: Transforming India's Logistics Network for a Sustainable Future

  • Unique Paper ID: 171161
  • PageNo: 2540-2544
  • Abstract:
  • India’s logistics sector is crucial to its economic development, contributing about 13-14% to the GDP. However, the sector is burdened by inefficiencies such as fragmented supply chains, underdeveloped infrastructure, and high logistics costs, which are approximately 14% of GDP—much higher than the global average of 8-10%. This paper explores these challenges, analyzes international case studies, and proposes a strategic framework for transforming India’s logistics network. Emphasizing the role of technology, multimodal infrastructure, and regulatory reforms, the study offers actionable recommendations for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering sustainability in India’s logistics sector.
