The Future of multi-modal logistics parks in India Published by CIL in 2009
India has been experiencing significant growth over the last decade and this is expected to continue, driven by strong domestic and international growth. The government and industry recognise logistics as strategic and the backbone for continued growth. Key policies and infrastructural changes are facilitating tectonic shift in the logistics industry towards improved performance. One such shift is the revolution towards multi-modal logistics parks. This will open up new avenues and opportunities for manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, and logistic players to improve their supply chains. Service, cost and time advantage are direct benefits of such parks and outsourcing value-added services which are traditionally performed in-house further increases the competitiveness. Logistic parks across the globe provide ample reference points and are excellent showcases against which India’s logistics parks could be modelled.
