Indian outlook on Public sector Logistic providers

The logistics sector has grown into over a $100 billion industry and contributes substantially to the development of the Indian economy. Across various sectors leading Indian firms have no doubt huge outlays on logistics. Sectors such as FMCG, cement, consumer durables, electronics and automobiles spend over Rs 2,000 crore each every year. The total Logistics spend is currently 13% compared to 8.7% of other developed countries and hence enough Scope to reduce the Logistics Spend which would require growth of 3PLs and 4PLs and improvement in Infrastructure.

Public sector Companies in India

Currently there are 3 major agencies in the public sector which are engaged in providing logistic services: Food Corporation of India (FCI), State Warehousing Corporation (SWC) and Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC). Other Public sector logistic providers are Indian Railways and CONCOR.  If we look at warehousing, the public sector dominates and accounts for a significantly large share of the total capacity available in the economy.

The Public sector companies in India have the following functionalities:
Acquire and build go downs and warehouses at suitable places.
Arrange facilities for the transport of agricultural produce and inputs.
Subscribe to the share capital of State Warehousing Corporations.
Does purchase sale, storage and distribution of agricultural produce and crops by acting as government's agents.

Government initiatives

Challenges

The Indian economy is striving for improvements in supply chain management and logistics services to gain a competitive edge and it would help if the government takes a more cohesive approach, feel industry chiefs.

Inefficient infrastructure could be the single most critical issue India faces today. Despite impressive economic growth, India's dilapidated roads, congested ports, inadequate power and complex State regulations are impeding development in the supply chain and logistics sector. 

Global Outlook
