India is projected to become a USD $5 trillion economy by 2047. This growth is expected to be driven by a few major factors, key amongst which is a stronger, more robust, streamlined, organised, and efficient logistics and transport infrastructure. The recently announced Union Budget and the broader Amrit Kaal 2047 vision — the government’s active effort to make India an export-led, aatmanirbhar economy — all seek to lay a strong foundation for an organised logistics sector in India. Why? Because the logistics sector, one way or another, will be a significant economic driver for the country in coming years. Consider this: India’s current contribution to global exports stands below 2%. By undertaking strategic capacity building for the logistics sector, the government can, not just boost the economy in the short and medium terms but also supercharge long-term development and economic activity with a massive headroom for growth. Increasing the country’s participation in international value chains through a more organised logistics sector has, therefore, emerged as a clear policy priority — and key players in the space can contribute significantly to this nation building project.
