The ‘Make in India’ Initiative
The Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ strategy is fuelling domestic manufacturing. This surge in production demands organised, large-scale warehousing solutions. “Companies investing in scalable, well-managed logistics infrastructure will be at the forefront of this transformation,” says Rutger.
The Rise of the ‘China+1’ Strategy
Global supply chains are diversifying beyond China, with India emerging as a strategic alternative. “India’s young, skilled workforce, combined with its business-friendly environment, positions it perfectly to capture this shift,” Rutger notes. This drives demand for centralised warehousing and value-added logistics services.
From Fragmentation to Professionalisation
India’s logistics costs account for 14% of GDP, compared to less than 10% in the EU—a sign of inefficiencies. The fragmented market, dominated by small regional players, is ripe for professionalisation. “There is a major opportunity here for structured, large-scale warehousing that reduces costs and enhances supply chain resilience,” Rutger explains.
