Specialist Advisory for Logistics, Infrastructure and Growth

India's logistics sector is in the middle of its most consequential structural transition in decades. The National Logistics Policy targets reducing logistics costs from 14% to 8% of GDP — a gap that represents hundreds of billions of rupees in avoidable cost that the sector currently absorbs. The Dedicated Freight Corridors, now fully operational on both the Eastern and Western alignments, have changed the economics of rail freight irreversibly. The Bharat Container Shipping Line, announced in October 2025 with $6.9 billion in planned investment, signals India's intent to reduce its dependence on foreign carriers for 95% of its seaborne trade. And e-commerce logistics, growing at 20% annually toward $103 billion by 2034, is reshaping last-mile infrastructure requirements faster than most operators' investment cycles can match.

India's maritime and logistics infrastructure is being rebuilt at a scale with no precedent in the sector's history. Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 targets a place among the world's top maritime nations. Sagarmala 2.0, backed by Rs 40,000 crore in budgetary support, is targeting Rs 12 lakh crore of unlocked investment over the next decade across 839 projects. Six new greenfield mega ports are planned…

India's manufacturing sector is at the centre of the most consequential shift in global supply chain geography since the post-WTO expansion of Chinese manufacturing capacity in the early 2000s. The China-plus-one sourcing reorientation has made India a strategic priority for global buyers across electronics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, automotive components, and industrial goods. The PLI scheme, covering 14 sectors with an outlay of Rs 1.97 lakh crore, has approved 836 applications, attracted committed investments of over Rs 2.16 lakh crore, generated cumulative sales above Rs 20.41 lakh crore, and supported exports above Rs 8.3 lakh crore as of December 2025. FDI inflows grew 14% to $81.04 billion in FY2024-25. Electronics became India's third-largest and fastest-growing export category, with Foxconn targeting 25-30 million iPhone units assembled in India by end 2025.

Yet the supply chain infrastructure behind this manufacturing ambition remains the sector's most exposed constraint. Logistics costs at 14% of GDP, inventory practices designed for a pre-GST tax environment, vendor bases that have not been rationalised for global buyer standards, and export documentation friction at customs — these are the operational gaps that determine whether India's manufacturing opportunity translates into durable competitive position. We work with Indian manufacturers, trading companies, and global buyers sourcing from India on the four supply chain disciplines that close this gap.

India's logistics and supply chain sector is at an inflection point. Rising domestic consumption, infrastructure investment at scale, and a maturing regulatory environment make it one of the most compelling markets for global shipping and logistics companies today. We provide end-to-end advisory support — from your first feasibility study to full operational launch — ensuring you enter India with confidence, clarity, and a competitive edge.

Operating a logistics business in India without a robust legal and compliance foundation is one of the most overlooked risks in the sector. The regulatory architecture spans central statutes, state-level rules, customs law, labour legislation, GST frameworks, and sector-specific licences — and it changes frequently. A contract that works in Singapore or Germany will often be unenforceable in India without significant adaptation. We provide practical, logistics-specific legal and compliance support that keeps your Indian operations protected, audit-ready, and commercially sound — whether you are setting up, scaling, or managing an established presence.

India's logistics and shipping sector is capital-intensive at every level — from import financing and freight bill discounting to large-scale warehouse and port infrastructure investment. Yet access to the right financial structures remains one of the most persistent constraints for both Indian logistics operators scaling up and global companies deploying capital into the sector. We bridge this gap by combining deep trade finance expertise with an understanding of how logistics businesses actually operate — their cash flow cycles, asset profiles, regulatory obligations, and investor expectations — to unlock financing that is appropriately structured, competitively priced, and fit for purpose in the Indian market.

India's logistics and supply chain sector is witnessing a wave of consolidation. Rising private equity interest, expanding domestic conglomerates, and inbound foreign investment are reshaping who owns what — and at what value. Whether you are acquiring a regional freight forwarder, divesting a warehousing arm, or seeking a strategic partner to scale operations, the quality of your transaction advisory determines how much value you capture. We provide rigorous, logistics-specific M&A and transaction support — from the first target screen to the final integration milestone.

Beyond standard advisory, certain operational challenges faced by global buyers, logistics companies, and businesses sourcing from India require a different kind of support — one that combines on-ground execution capability with deep sector knowledge. Whether you need a quality control infrastructure built and run on your behalf in India, a vetted sourcing partner network developed across product categories, or direct access and liaison with Indian government bodies and regulatory authorities, we provide specialised services that most consulting firms cannot. Each engagement is designed around your specific operational context, sourcing geography, and product requirements.
