6 India - Logistics Opportunity Abolition of trade quota Impact on the industries dominated by global trade (e.g. apparel) Capacity expansion Integration Consolidation Greater-than-ever need for a dynamic, reliable and efficient supply chain! The changing global business landscape has made logistics a critical success factor for India s competence in global markets Evolving base for Contract manufacturing De-risking business Domestic market While China still remains a clear leader in contract logistics, Companies are keen to de-risk their business by spreading their manufacturing base to equally cost effective India. Apart from manufacturing derisking, the ever-expanding domestic market is also a big attraction for companies to set-up their base in India Demand for world class logistics services With increasing integration with the world economy, India can no longer afford sub-world class logistics standards 6

14 India SCA Institute of Logistics and Supply Chain What India needs is a focused approach towards eliminating its logistics roadblocks, one step at a time. It will take investment in looking at how globally accepted best practices can be applied to Indian environment, how can Indian conditions allow for creation of home-grown solutions that can also have applicability in other emerging economies. This requires a platform where industry, academia, government, and international organizations can collaborate and co-create next practices in Indian logistics. Creating the practices is the first step but their application and adaptation by the various stakeholders can only happen through human capacity building for a variety of roles and players. Most importantly Indian logistics sector is driven by SMEs and their role and skill building is essential. Therefore a center that can undertake Research and Development, Experimental Development, Human Capital Building and SME Knowledge Dissemination is the need of the hour in India. 14
