Navigating Freight & Logistics Sector in India

Lack of Infrastructure in Remote Regions

  • The freight logistics sector in India struggles with poorly developed infrastructure in remote areas. Over half of India lacks proper road connectivity impacting delivery time.
  • Focused investments in logistics parks and connecting villages to urban economics are essential to bridge this gap. Logistic spending above 14% of GDP is proving expensive.

Inefficient Regulatory Landscape

  • Complex and inconsistent regulations across regions create inefficiencies. It affects compliance, which increases logistical costs significantly in India.
  • A unified smart logistics management framework tailored to regional needs and reform compliance could dramatically enhance efficiency and reduce shipping times.

Growing Volume of e-Commerce Activities

  • E-commerce in India is exploding with double-digit growth rates, enhancing freight offerings. Projected market size is surging, benefiting logistics drastically.
  • As e-commerce continues this trend, kickbacks in last-mile delivery present valuable growth leverages, spurred by emerging digitization protocols.

Strategic Location and Trade Opportunities

  • Strategically grounded at universal trade crossroads, India accounts for 40% of worldwide maritime movements, ranking as an essential tradesman base.
  • Leveraging India's positions drives VAS logistics through data-led resource optimization, positioning India as a front-runner in Greek Revival logistic magnates.

Zamil Steel

"YCP’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of YCP's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far. "
