    Study Notes

    Logistics Sector in India

    • India is one of the largest logistics sectors globally, estimated at $215 billion, with a growth rate of 10.5%
    • The sector employs 22 million people (per Ministry of Commerce and Industry report)
    • Logistics costs in India are estimated at 14% of the GDP, similar to other developing countries. Developed countries aim for 6-7%
    • Transportation, warehousing, inventory, and order processing/administration costs make up the logistics cost of the Indian supply chain

    Percentage Breakdown of Logistics Costs

    • Transportation: 40% of total logistics costs, equal to 6% of Indian GDP
    • Warehousing: 26% of total logistics costs, equal to 4% of Indian GDP
    • Inventory: 24% of total logistics costs, equal to 3% of Indian GDP
    • Order processing/administration: 10% of total logistics costs, equal to 1% of Indian GDP

    Supply Chain Community

    • The supply chain involves raw material supply, manufacturer, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and end-users

    Comparison of Logistics Modes

    • Truck: Cost-effective for short distances, quick delivery, capacity limited by size/weight, extensive market reach, typically reliable but susceptible to traffic/weather. Low fuel efficiency
    • Rail: Cost-effective for large volumes/long distances, comparable speed to truck, high carrying capacity, reaches major markets coast-to-coast, high visibility via GPS, and environmentally friendly.
    • Water: One the least expensive modes, slow transit time, extensive coverage, but dependent on navigable waterways, and can be less reliable and harder to track.. Environmentally responsible.
    • Air: Fastest mode for long distances, but highest cost, low carrying capacity, and susceptible to weather delays. Not very cost-effective.
