Moving goods quickly, reliably, and at low cost is central to sustaining growth. A recent government cost assessment highlighted the persistent burden of high logistics costs in India, despite ongoing reforms. The article underscores the contrast between road and rail transport, the dominance of road freight even on long-haul routes like <strong>Delhi\u2013Mumbai (1,400 km)<\/strong>, and the rising urgency to align India\u2019s logistics sector with industry needs. Against this backdrop, the <strong>National Logistics Policy<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;(NLP)<\/strong>, which has just completed three years, becomes an anchor framework to understand the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><strong>Logistics:<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><strong><u><strong><\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Logistics<\/strong>&nbsp;refers to the overall process of managing how resources are acquired, stored, and transported to their final destination. It involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. In simple terms, it&#8217;s the backbone of the supply chain, ensuring that the right product gets to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, and at the right cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why logistics matters for the economy:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An efficient logistics sector is the lifeblood of a modern economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boosts Competitiveness:<\/strong>&nbsp;Lower logistics costs make a country&#8217;s products cheaper and more competitive in both domestic and international markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drives Economic Growth:<\/strong>&nbsp;It enables seamless trade, supports the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, and is crucial for the growth of e-commerce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creates Jobs:<\/strong>&nbsp;The logistics sector is a major employer, providing jobs in transportation, warehousing, and supply chain management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attracts Investment:<\/strong>&nbsp;A country with a well-developed and efficient logistics infrastructure is more attractive to foreign investors looking to set up manufacturing and supply hubs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Helps Reduce Emissions:<\/strong>&nbsp;Logistics also has <strong>environmental implications<\/strong>: shifting from road to rail or waterways reduces emissions significantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India\u2019s logistics costs compared globally:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, India&#8217;s logistics costs have been high compared to global benchmarks, which has been a significant drag on its competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Past Estimates<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;For years, India&#8217;s logistics cost was cited to be around <strong>13-14% of its GDP<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recent Assessment:<\/strong>\u00a0A new, scientifically conducted study (published in September) by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and NCAER has revised this figure.

It shows that <strong>road transport alone accounts for nearly half<\/strong>&nbsp;of the total logistics expenditure, while the <strong>Railways&#8217; share of the cost is remarkably low<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Road vs. Rail Dilemma<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article presents a classic logistics dilemma, using the <strong>Delhi-Mumbai route (1,400km)<\/strong>&nbsp;as a case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Road&#8217;s Advantage<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;It offers <strong>door-to-door connectivity<\/strong>. This is its biggest strength, especially for shorter distances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rail&#8217;s Advantage<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;For long hauls and bulk cargo (like coal, cement), it is far more <strong>cost-effective and efficient per kilometre<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Catch-22 for Railways<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;Despite having a lower charge for the main haulage (the 1,400 km journey), the <strong>first- and last-mile connectivity costs<\/strong>&nbsp;(getting goods from the factory to the rail terminal and from the destination terminal to the final market) are so high that they can <strong>double the total bill<\/strong>. This, combined with the perception that the Railways cannot always guarantee <strong>timely delivery<\/strong>, makes businesses stick to road transport even for long distances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Solution: An Ecosystem Approach for Railways<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article argues that the key to unlocking the potential of the railways and lowering national logistics costs is not just building more tracks, but building a supportive ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Increase Freight Share<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Indian Railways has a target to increase its share of freight traffic from the current <strong>29% to 45% by 2030<\/strong>&nbsp;under the <strong>National Rail Plan<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offer End-to-End Solutions<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;To compete with trucks, the Railways needs to move beyond just being a line-haul operator. The article suggests creating a framework that allows <strong>private operators<\/strong>&nbsp;to offer integrated, low-cost services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What this ecosystem would look like<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;A private logistics company could book space on a train for the long haul (Delhi-Mumbai) and manage the first- and last-mile trucking, loading\/unloading, and warehousing, offering the client a single, predictable, and accountable service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Broader Benefits: Environment and Economy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article concludes by highlighting the significant positive externalities of shifting more freight to rail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reduced Carbon Emissions<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;With the Railways rapidly electrifying its network, shifting freight from diesel-powered trucks to electric locomotives would significantly reduce the country&#8217;s carbon footprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Market Vibrancy<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;A more competitive cargo services market would lead to innovation, lower prices, and faster, more reliable deliveries for everyone, ultimately benefiting consumers and boosting the entire economy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s logistics system is at a crossroads. The <strong>National Logistics Policy<\/strong>, now three years old, has created the framework for cost reduction, multimodal integration, and digitalisation. Yet, the article highlights the ground-level reality: road still dominates freight even when rail is cheaper, because of inefficiencies in handling and reliability

Currently, I channel this experience into my role as a passionate content writer at PracticeMock, where I strive to deliver accurate and relevant information to candidates preparing for Banking exams, guiding them effectively on their preparation journey.","url":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/author\/sandhya\/"}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",1200,675,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",150,84,false],"medium":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",300,169,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",640,360,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",640,360,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",1200,675,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",1200,675,false],"web-stories-poster-portrait":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",640,360,false],"web-stories-publisher-logo":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",96,54,false],"web-stories-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vishleshan-for-Regulatory-Exams-1st-October-2025.png",150,84,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Sandhya","author_link":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/author\/sandhya\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Read Vishleshan for Regulatory Exams, 1st October 2025:\u00a0From Tracks to Trucks: India Needs Low-Cost Logistics","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
