Mega Trends in Logistics in India Three Key Areas Affecting Type and Nature of Logistics 1 Changing demographics Rapid urbanization Cost effective ways to serve the needs of changing urban/industrial centres 2 Evolving requirements of trade Sophistication, modernization, clustering of manufacturing activities 3 Evolving inter-modal mix of commodities Bulk commodities to be moved across India more rapidly, safely and efficiently Werner Heesen Consulting GmbH LOGISTICS FORUM»MORE THAN CURRY«8
Mega Trends in Logistics in India Three Key Areas Affecting Type and Nature of Logistics It is estimated that India s transportation and logistics bottlenecks hinder its GDP growth by approximately 2 per cent. (Business India 22 July 2012) What is usually missed out is the realisation that we in India have one of the lowest transportation and warehouse costs in the world. The total logistics cost are driven by inventory and other losses due to inefficiency and poor business practices. In the US these costs account for 25 per cent of logistic costs, whereas in India they account for over 55 per cent of costs.
