2. What is Logistics??
• Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the
point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet
some requirements, of customers or corporations.
• logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials,
animals, equipment and liquids, as well as abstract items,
such as time, information, particles, and energy.
• The logistics of physical items usually involves the
integration of information flow, material
handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation,
warehousing, and often security.
3. Logistic by Roadways
• Means by which a shipment is moved from point “A” to point “B” by
road
• Cargo can’t be handled in every part of the country through railway.
• Roadways play major role in handling cargo even in small town.
• Roadways transportation is done through truck/lorries.
• There are no. of lorries having different capacities.
4. Introduction- Indian road logistics
• Some Facts…….
India is having second largest road network in world.(3.38 million KM)
Road network carry nearly 65% of freight and 85% of passenger traffic
Average speed on Indian highways is 30 km per hour, which is three times
lower than the average speed on highways in developed countries.
Roads in India are divided into the following five categories:
National Highways (NH)
State Highways (SH)
Major District Roads (MDR)
Other District Roads (ODR)
Village Roads (VR)
National highways form only 2% of the total roads by length and carry about
40% of the traffic
Out of total length of national highways:
27 % - single lane/intermediate lane
59 % - double-lane standard
14 % - four-lane/ six-lane/ eight lane standard

9. Road logistic in India
Golden Quadrilateral
• The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway
network connecting India's four largest
metros : Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata
• First phase of the National Highways
Development Project .
• The second phase involves the
development of the North-South and East-
West links, which runs from Srinagar to
Kanyakumari and from Porbunder to
Silchar
• The project aims of building 5,846 km
(3,633 mi) of four/six lane express
highways at a cost US$12.2 billion
10. Road logistic in India
Advantage & Disadvantage
A very popular mode of transport used by supplier and business to deliver orders.
Many transport companies provide scheduled delivery days and next day delivery
services, depending upon the needs. Goods can be packed/grouped in box vans or
in containers which are also used for sea transportation.
Cost effective
Fast delivery
Ideal for short distance
Ideal for transporting perishable
(fruits & vegetable)
Easy monitor location of goods
Easy to communicate with driver
Transport subject to traffic delays
Transport subject to break down
Goods susceptible to damage
through careless driving
Bad weather
Driving regulation can cause delay

15. Key issue in indian Road logistics
• Road capacity in India is very low with most national
highways having two lanes or less.
• Congestion of roads is a major problem with a quarter of all of
India's highways being congested.
• The average productivity of a truck in India is an abysmal 200
kms a day which could be increased to 350 - 400 kms just by
reduction in congestion
• Transportation of goods by road is too much time consuming.
• Lack participation of private sector
• Maintainance
18. Railways
• Railway play a major role in cargo handling
• Railway handle cargo from sea port to various part of the
country.
• Railway has special wagons to carry the cargo.
• Through railway large volume of cargo can be handled in a
short period of time.
19. Logistic by railways
World’s fourth-largest rail network:
• Indian Railways had 12,335 passenger trains carrying over 30
million passengers daily. On the commercial front, 1,119 million
tonnes of freight was transported via trains
• It has a total route network of about 64,600 kilometres (of which
29.98 per cent is double/multi-track) spread across 7,146 stations.
• Operates more than 19,000 trains every day
• It has 239,321 wagons, 61,899 coaches, and 9,549 locomotives

21. • Railways has two major segments
Passenger :-
About 12,335 passenger trains were in operation in FY14
Over 30 million passengers travel by trains on a daily basis in
India
Freight :-
Around 1,119 million tonnes of freight was transported via
trains in FY14
These include a huge variety of goods like mineral ores, iron
and steel, fertilizers, petrochemicals, and agricultural produce
22. Railway freight structure
Ability to pay principle
Speed
Distance
Liability of risk (Railways’s risk & Owner’s risk)
Types of Wagon(closed, open , refrigerated)
Liability to damage- (premium attached)
Nature of commodity-Liability to inflammation/explosion
Nature of commodity- size and packing of commodity
23. Indian railways-Service provided
• Freight
• Freight remains the major
revenue earning segment for
the railways, accounting for
67 per cent of total revenues
in FY14 .
• Last 2 decades, shifted to
large container movement.
• Majority of earnings comes
from carrying bulk goods like
iron ore , coal, crude oil.
25. Types of goods wagon or freight car
BOXNHL
for the transportation of bulk goods
that are not moisture-retentive and
can usually be tipped, dumped or
shovelled
BOBYN
used to transport loose bulk
commodities such as coal, ore, grain,
and track ballast
26. Types of goods wagon or freight car
BCNHL
FLAT WAGON
generally used to carry general freight
Flat wagons are used for loads that are
too large or cumbersome to load in
enclosed cars such as covered wagon
27. Dedicated freight corridor
DFCCIL, a special purpose vehicle, was set up for implementing
the DFC project under the administrative control of the Ministry
of Railways
The plan is to construct dedicated freight lines along the Eastern
and Western parts of India
Total length: 3,300 kilometres; total estimated cost: USD16.7
billion; project scheduled for completion in FY17
28. Objectives…DFCCIL
Increase rail freight share through customised logistic
services
Segregate freight and passenger lines for focused
approach
Create additional freight capacity to meet demand
Introduce time-tabled freight services to ensure better
services
Adopt high-end technology for real-time data analysis
Reduce unit cost of transportation and increase
productivity
29. Inherent advantages of the
rail container transport
Lower transportation cost
Higher reliability
Relatively safer and secure
Very environmentally friendly
Reduced accidents.
30. Key player in railways logistic
Navratna PSU under the Indian Ministry of Railways
CONCOR operates three core businesses: cargo carrier
, terminal operator, and warehouse operator
