The document discusses truck carriers in India and their performance. It notes that there are three market segments for trucks - low-cost, modern domestic, and premium. The trucking industry is experiencing rising demand due to growth in construction and road infrastructure. Trucks are the main form of freight transportation in India, carrying 65% of freight. However, there are challenges like poor road quality and congestion. The document then covers factors affecting truck carriers and compares different modes of transportation.

Example due to regulations or safety reasons.
• Road conditions such as mountainous
terrain, deteriorated pavement and traffic
congestion.
