Driver or No Driver? Flexible Vehicle Rental Options
India’s logistics sector is undergoing rapid transformation, with freight demand expected to rise 2.5 times by 2035. However, costs still hover at 13% of GDP—well above the global norm. The government’s focus on green freight corridors and multimodal integration aims to improve sustainability while reducing inefficiencies and cost burdens (NITI Aayog +2).
Infrastructure Push: Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC)
Cold Chain Integration Missing – Perishables still rely on road transport, with minimal rail-based cold storage links.

Policy Outlook: National Logistics Policy 2022
India’s policy framework prioritizes digitization, multimodal development, and state-federal coordination. Experts highlight the need for execution consistency across states and faster rollout of warehousing zones. Incentives for private logistics investment and regulatory easing for digital freight platforms could further accelerate gains (The Hindu +3).
The Eastern and Western DFCs are nearly complete and will enable freight trains to operate at up to 100 km/h on exclusive tracks. Transit times will drop by up to 50%, significantly reducing transport costs (Indian Railways +2).
