4. Industry Details
The logistics sector in India is evolving rapidly and its growth is dominated by the interplay of infrastructure,
technology and new types of service providers that will determine whether the industry is able to help its
customers to reduce logistics costs and provide effective services or not. Changing government policies on
taxation and regulation of service providers is going to play an important role in this process.
The logistics sector has attracted a large amount of investment in the past years and in future the sector
could witness the same due to rising demand for logistics driven by industries like automobile, retail, pharma
etc. There is significant rise in the demand for third party logistics providers in the sector as well, which is led
by TVS Logistics today and has few capable competitors.
The sector provides lucrative business opportunities today for new players in terms of margins, low-entry
barriers and high growth prospects. Proper infrastructure support by the government and competition from
the unorganized sector are major challenges in the growth of the logistics sector. The current size of the
Indian Logistics Industry is estimated around $225bn and is expected to reach around $350bn by 2015.
As per industry estimates as provided by the Fitch Rating Agency, there is a positive future outlook for the
Indian Logistics Industry and it is estimated that the industry will grow at 15-20% over the next few years
Several factors helped the growth of logistics industry in India over the last decade that include changing tax
system as well as a rapid growth in industries such as automobile, pharmaceuticals, FMCG and retail
