India’s logistics sector is undergoing a major transformation, shifting from high costs and inefficiencies to becoming a competitive trade backbone. Key government reforms include the PM Gati Shakti Master Plan, GST rollout, Dedicated Freight Corridors, and Multimodal Logistics Parks to cut costs and improve efficiency.

The e-commerce boom, demand for last-mile delivery, and rise of 3PL/4PL services are reshaping supply chains. Technology adoption—AI, IoT, blockchain, and warehouse automation—is driving efficiency, while sustainability efforts like EV adoption, coastal shipping, and ESG compliance align with net-zero goals.

Challenges remain in high logistics costs, fragmented infrastructure, skill gaps, weak multimodal integration, and environmental pressures. Fast-tracking infrastructure, skilling, digital adoption, green logistics, and regulatory streamlining will be crucial to meet Viksit Bharat 2047 goals.
