Strategic Crossroads
The global logistics narrative is being rewritten faster than ever - and India is not on the sidelines, it is at the centre of the rewrite. It's not merely about ships and freight anymore - it's about influence, supply chain sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, and who shapes the rules of the game. India today is not reacting to global logistics disruption; it is co-architecting new corridors, supply chain standards, financing models and port alliances that are altering the global flow of trade. The recently concluded India Maritime Week 2025, which witnessed signing of over 600 MoUs worth more than Rs 12 lakh crore and participation from nearly 85 countries, is proof of India's rising maritime muscle. It signals that India is no longer just a market, but a trusted and central partner in global supply chain architecture. This November edition of Logistics Outlook dives into how India is shifting from \"catching up\" to \"setting direction\", especially in green fuels, transshipment, and multimodal corridor development. The edition also highlights the QUAD calculus and the port map of Asia. The Indo-Pacific competition will now be measured in throughput, bunkering, critical minerals and semiconductor logistics - not just destroyer groups. Shifting gears, this November issue also captures how new infrastructure build-outs and last-mile innovations are redefining India's e-commerce logistics landscape - with GST 2.0 acting as an accelerant for faster turnarounds, leaner networks and more cost-efficient fulfilment models across the country This month, we connect policy, geopolitics, and consumer demand into one integrated view. We hope you enjoy reading this edition. Stay safe!

TRADE WARS CREATE ONLY CASUALTIES – WHY IS TRUMP DOUBLING DOWN?
Trade wars have no winners, only collateral damage. And yet here we stand, watching the US under Donald Trump revive an age-old weapon of economic aggression: tariffs on Indian goods and services. What is being touted by Trump as his daring step towards #MAGA is apparently going to be stripped naked as a shortsighted gambit that will soon get disregarded as the hyperlinked reality of today's global economy.
