OPTIMISING SUPPLY CHAIN COST - ROAD TRANSPORTATION

May 30, 2018

India has second largest road network across the world spanning over a 5.5 million Km (1). The road network transports 58% of the freight movement.(1) It is largely preferred transport option in India as it can provide door to door transport flexibility. Road transportation has gradually increased over the last few years with the improvement in connectivity between cities, towns and villages. A strong transportation network can boost the Government’s efforts towards “Make in India” and is expected to play a vital role in driving the Indian economy. There have been significant changes in India’s logistics land scape in general and road transportation in particular in the past couple of years. RSM’s on-going research, combined with experience through its clients across industry sectors provides interesting insights, indicating that the customers as well as service providers are evolving to adapt to the change. We intend to bring into focus current trends of Indian transportation sector, challenges faced by sector, how external factors contribute to road transportation & key strategies relevant to the Indian business climate to enhance transportation efficiencies.
