How do you describe the current state of multimodal logistics?
India's multimodal logistics sector has made strides in recent years, driven primarily by the development of physical infrastructure. To truly unlock its potential and elevate India to global standards, focus must be laid on streamlining and modernising the regulatory framework. Harmonising physical infrastructure with efficient, technology-driven and trade-friendly regulatory processes will ensure that multimodal logistics in India becomes a global benchmark for integration, cost-efficiency and sustainability.
Which regions show promise for multimodal growth?
The growth of logistics sector is intrinsically linked to the growth of the economy and with India on track to become the third-largest economy in the world, every logistics corridor, domestic and global holds strategic importance. As prosperity increases, so does consumption, production and trade volumes, all of which fuel demand for efficient logistics solutions. In this connection, multimodal logistics emerges as a key enabler of speed, cost-efficiency and sustainability.
Domestically, regions connected by the Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs), the Eastern and Western economic corridors and industrial belts across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh are witnessing momentum. Internationally, India’s efforts to fortify connectivity through initiatives such as International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), BIMSTEC, and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor show potential. Despite the current global geopolitical uncertainties, this period of realignment offers a window of opportunity for India and other emerging economies to reposition themselves.
