What is your assessment of the current landscape of the logistics sector in India?
India’s logistics sector is at a critical inflection point. We’re witnessing an accelerated shift from traditional, manual systems to tech-driven, integrated supply chains. The formalization push from the government, coupled with the rise of e-commerce and industrial growth, is setting the stage for long-term transformation. But the sector still grapples with fragmentation, underutilization of infrastructure, and the need for skilled manpower. What’s promising is that the appetite for change is finally backed by both policy and capital.
What are some of the standout achievements or solutions your organisation has introduced in the past year, and how are they addressing current market demands or operational challenges?
In the last year, we’ve made significant strides in operational tech adoption. We integrated real-time GPS tracking, route optimization, and fleet performance analytics across our vehicles, improving delivery timelines and fuel efficiency. Additionally, through our LLP, we expanded our 3PL warehousing footprint to serve e-commerce and FMCG clients more effectively. But beyond tech, our core achievement remains our human-first approach—staying personally connected with clients, understanding their business cycles, and solving problems proactively. That’s what builds long-term trust.
The logistics sector remains highly unorganised, with a significant portion still dominated by informal players. How does your company plan to increase its market share in this competitive and fragmented landscape?
Our growth strategy is built on two pillars: technology-driven efficiency and relationship-driven reliability. In a sector dominated by price wars and short-term contracts, we focus on offering predictable outcomes and complete transparency – traits that clients value far more in the long run. We’re also building capacity for end-to-end solutions – including warehousing, linehaul, and last-mile integration s- so clients don’t have to juggle multiple vendors. The goal is to be their logistics partner, not just a transport vendor.
Though the government has taken various initiatives, challenges persist in the logistics sector. What further steps do you believe it should take to enhance growth and efficiency?
The government has taken commendable steps – especially with infrastructure and policy – but execution speed and consistency across states remains a bottleneck. There’s also a pressing need for a unified digital compliance framework, especially for small fleet operators. Moreover, promoting digital literacy among logistics MSMEs, incentivizing tech adoption, and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for warehousing clearances would go a long way in accelerating sector-wide transformation.
To enhance logistics operations, the government has introduced the National Logistics Policy (NLP) and the PM Gati Shakti initiatives. How is your company leveraging these opportunities to drive growth and efficiency?
We align strongly with the goals of NLP and Gati Shakti. The creation of multimodal logistics hubs and digital infrastructure opens new opportunities for companies like ours. We are exploring warehouse setups near key industrial corridors identified under Gati Shakti. Also, we’re ensuring our data systems and fleet tracking integrate well with the proposed ULIP platform – so we can be part of India’s future-ready logistics grid from Day One.
What technologies (IoT, AI, GPS tracking, WMS, TMS, blockchain) have you implemented to enhance logistics efficiency and ensure consistent and prompt service?
We’ve deployed GPS-based fleet monitoring, route optimization algorithms, and driver performance analytics to ensure timely, cost-effective movement. Our warehousing arm uses a basic WMS system, which we’re in the process of upgrading to a more scalable TMS-WMS integrated platform. We’re also actively exploring IoT-enabled temperature monitoring for sensitive cargo and plan to pilot AI-based load planning in the coming year. Every tech tool we adopt is focused on one outcome—more predictability and less friction in client operations.
How are you incorporating sustainability into your operations – such as EV fleets, carbon tracking, or green warehousing – and what challenges do you face in transitioning to greener logistics models?
Sustainability is a clear priority. We’re currently in the evaluation phase for EV deployment for intra-city runs and last-mile logistics. We’ve also begun tracking fuel efficiency and idle time to calculate and reduce our carbon footprint. On the warehousing front, we’re exploring solar panel integrations and energy-efficient lighting systems. The biggest challenge remains the high upfront cost and limited EV infrastructure in non-metro regions. That said, we see this as a necessary transition—not a trend.
What are the biggest operational challenges currently facing the logistics sector — such as fuel costs, regulatory issues, or skilled workforce shortages?
Rising fuel and toll costs continue to squeeze margins. Regulatory frameworks also differ significantly across states, creating inefficiencies. But perhaps the most under-discussed challenge is manpower – both in terms of availability and skill. From drivers to warehouse supervisors, building a motivated, digitally literate workforce is going to be essential if we want to evolve from an unorganized sector to a structured, tech-enabled one.
With the rising demand for third-party and fourth-party logistics (3PL/4PL) in India, especially driven by e-commerce and retail sectors, how is your company positioning its services to meet these evolving expectations?
Through Innovative Supply Chain Solutions LLP, we are actively growing our 3PL capabilities – expanding warehousing, strengthening last-mile delivery partnerships, and exploring custom dashboards for clients to track shipments across SKUs and regions. We are also working toward becoming a 4PL coordinator for select clients by managing multiple vendors and offering a single point of accountability. The goal is to move up the value chain, offering not just capacity but intelligence and insight.
What key trends do you foresee shaping the logistics sector over the next five years, and how is your company preparing to stay competitive and future-ready?
The three key trends set to reshape the logistics sector are digitisation at every level – from documentation to dispatch; sustainability compliance evolving into a standard requirement rather than an option; and the rise of integrated multimodal networks, which will reduce the sector’s dependency on highways alone. To stay future-ready, we’re investing in scalable tech, planning green infrastructure upgrades, and most importantly, continuing to listen closely to what our clients need. At Amit Transport Corporation, we believe the logistics business will always be about more than trucks—it’s about trust, timing, and transformation.
