Abstract
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world today. This growth is fuelled by growth in
infrastructure, booming manufacturing sector, EXIM trade, retail and agricultural related activities amongst
others. Logistics assumes central activity in these growth areas. In India logistics cost, as a proportion of
GDP, stands today at 13 per cent which is set to rise as the Indian economy shifts from service oriented
economy to that of non-service activities, like, manufacturing and food-processing etc. Rural logistics is
set to contribute a larger share to this increase as the infrastructure related to agricultural activity unfolds.
By 2030, the economic benefits that will accrue to India’s economy, as a result
of the nuclear trade could touch US $500 billion. Further, the government is strengthening the
infrastructure with over US $70 billion of investment planned till 2012. Logistics will be one sector which
will be the backbone of flourishing trade activity and infrastructure development, and will receive special
attention by the government / private sector in coming years.
The report identifies ten such strategic growth areas of Indian logistics sector which includes:
1. Air Cargo Logistics
2. Cold Chain / Cold Storage

4. Custom House Agents (CHA)

Containerization and rail based logistics are other major strategic growth areas of Indian logistics sector and these are studied under various strategic elements mentioned above, wherever they impact. The ten strategic elements, mentioned above, are analyzed in detail by understanding data of each sector collected through credible sources and / or primary interviews. Financial outlay, technical competency, return-on-investment, competition analysis and difficulty of implementation are some of the main parameters which will further help identify the right opportunity and rank them through an ‘Opportunity Matrix’. These are some of the external parameters that need to be mapped with internal strengths, capabilities and tie-ups or collaborations of an organization to arrive at the most compelling opportunity to pursue. These are largely a function of each company and the report, therefore, analyzes opportunity on the basis of external factors on a macro level with specific illustration of state / city level logistics activities to provide appropriate insights and analyze scenarios.
