25 Mar 2025 CW Team

The First Construction Council, in association with Construction World and Infrastructure Today magazines, is set to present MultiLogistix Expo 2025, India’s first expo dedicated to the logistics and supply chain industry. Scheduled for 12th - 13th November 2025 at Yashobhoomi, Delhi, this groundbreaking event is supported by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and aims to showcase India’s supply chain advancements under PM Gati Shakti.

The event will provide a unique platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and professionals to discuss and explore innovations in logistics infrastructure, technology, and operational efficiencies. Attendees can expect networking opportunities, panel discussions, and exhibits highlighting the latest trends in multi-modal transportation, freight corridors, warehousing solutions, and automation.

India’s Logistics Transformation

India’s rapid economic growth is underpinned by its logistics sector, with government capital expenditure tripling since FY20, significantly benefiting the nation’s road and railway networks. As per the Economic Survey 2023-24, India has risen from 54th (2014) to 38th (2023) in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index.

Key government initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti, the National Logistics Policy (NLP), and the Sagarmala program aim to reduce logistics costs from 8.35 per cent to 5 per cent of GDP. Investments in Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs), dedicated freight corridors, and port modernisation are expected to accelerate economic growth and strengthen India’s global supply chain capabilities.

Sanjiv Garg, IRTS CMILT, Former Additional Member, Railway Board & Former MD, Pipavav Railway Corporation Limited, remarked: “For India to become a five trillion-dollar economy, the role of logistics in achievement of this major milestone cannot be under-estimated. Hence, reduction in logistics costs will work to further speed up and consolidate the achievement of the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.”

Logistics contributes 30 per cent of total production costs, with road transport dominating at 70 to 80 per cent. Per-tonne logistics costs range between Rs 1,500-1,800, significantly impacting profitability. Also, the development of dedicated freight corridors and rail connectivity is set to enhance logistics efficiency in the sector.

Emerging Trends in Logistics

With India’s logistics sector evolving rapidly, key advancements include:

- Multi-modal logistics hubs: The Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase 1 plans 35 MMLPs with a total investment of Rs 500 billion.

- Technology and automation: AI-driven supply chain management, IoT-enabled tracking, and robotics are enhancing operational efficiencies.

- E-commerce growth: Rising digital adoption is driving demand for express delivery solutions and automated warehouses.
