India’s long-term development goals also include the efficiency of its logistics sector. As freight
volumes grow, infrastructure expands, and supply chains deepen, logistics will determine how
equitably
and sustainably that growth reaches every region and every enterprise. But the sector that connects
the country is also placing a growing strain on the environment and this challenge is at core of any
conversation about economic readiness. Decarbonising logistics is about safeguarding economic
efficiency, protecting long-term trade competitiveness, and ensuring that India’s infrastructure
choices today do not become a challenge. If the country continues to build freight capacity on a
carbon-heavy base, future correction will be costlier, slower, and far more disruptive.
