Key Trends

Ongoing Infrastructure Expansion

One of the most prominent drivers of the market is infrastructure development across roads, railways, and airports. The Airports Authority of India, alongside private players, has committed an estimated USD 11 billion investment by 2025, focused on improving and operationalizing smaller and regional airports. This project, supporting both commercial aviation and cargo logistics, is expected to enhance connectivity to remote and underserved areas, with over 400 regional routes already functional and another 600 in development.

In parallel, India's highway infrastructure continues to expand at a steady pace. As of March 2023, the National Highway network reached over 145,000 kilometers. Improvements to this network are crucial for road freight, which continues to be the most dominant mode of transport for goods. These infrastructure investments are reducing travel time, improving delivery reliability, and opening up logistics corridors across the country.

Push Towards Greener Transport

Environmental considerations are becoming a clear focus. In July 2023, a group of major Indian businesses came together under two programs, the Zero Emission Vehicles Emerging Markets Initiative (ZEV-EMI) and the Electric Freight Accelerator for Sustainable Transport (E-FAST), to promote the adoption of electric trucks in freight transport.

This collective effort is expected to create momentum for cleaner vehicle alternatives in logistics fleets. Projections suggest demand for electric trucks will exceed 5,000 units by 2027 and could reach nearly 7,700 units by 2030. With logistics companies increasingly aligning their strategies with sustainability goals, electric freight vehicles may become a standard feature of the industry in the coming years.

Growth in E-Commerce and Express Delivery

E-commerce continues to be a major influence on logistics operations, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. Express delivery services are growing in volume and scope, driven by increased customer expectations for fast and reliable deliveries. As online retail expands into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, last-mile delivery networks are being strengthened. Logistics companies invest in regional fulfillment centers and digital tracking systems to manage delivery volumes and optimize turnaround times.
