3PL (Third Party Logistics)These companies invest on development and maintenance of warehouses, fleets, and set up teams and/or systems to handle freight consolidation, route optimization, etc. The small and medium sized businesses lack the capital for such investments and are always at a risk of loss due to shipment delays, under-utilized cargo space and lack of visibility. While 3PLs in developed markets already provide some or all of these services, most of the Indian players offer only plain vanilla transportation services. In India,@ 36% of manufacturing firms use third party logistics (3PL) service providers for making dispatches, 30% use 3PL service providers for procuring their material from their suppliers. In fact, a vast majority
of the vendors run their businesses with a fleet of 5 trucks or less.
Thus, there exists clear prospects for 3PLs to, in addition to transportation, offer tailored solutions to the businesses based on their size and needs supply chain consultation, shipment routing/consolidation, freight audit, freight forwarding etc.

Logistic InfrastructureGoods are transported mainly by road and rail in India. Road transport is controlled by private players, Rail transport is largely handled by the central government. With the second largest road network in the world, road contributes to 54.5% of the freight transport. Road is preferred because of its cost effectiveness and flexibility. Rail is preferred because of containerization facility and ease in transporting shipcontainers and wooden crates. In order to encourage trade by small scale industries, Indian Railways has started a road-railersystem where container vehicles are capable of running both on highways hauled by trucks and on rail. The 'roll-on, roll-off' ('RO-RO') concept between Mumbai (Kolad) and Goa (Verna) exists. Privately owned trucks are loaded with their goods which are driven on to a rake of flat cars and are carried (trucks and their cargo) to the destination.
3
Logistic InfrastructureSea is another complementary mode of transport. 95% of Indias foreign trade happens through sea. India has 12 major ports, six each on the West and East coasts and 185 minor ports.
Following table shows that the preferred mode of cargo movement in India is Road as compare to the Rail, Air and Sea. Because roads are almost covers all the areas in India as compare to the other mode of transportation. Due to underdeveloped infrastructure and other service to choose best mode of transportation is road. As road covers almost all the rural, urban and hilly area as compare to railway.

In India cargo movement by air is least among the other three modes this due to high cost involved in this mode of transportation

Government is now betting big on public-private partnership projects (PPPs) for the development of highways, port connectivity, dedicated freight corridors and establishment of free trade warehousing zones (FTWZ).
There is need for Exim based logistics infrastructure like number of ICDs needed would be doubled in next 5 to 10 years and critical need for Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZ)
TOTAL ESTIMATE OF BUSINESS SPACE IN LOGISTICS SECTOR IS AS FOLLOWS
WarehousesThe role of a warehouse has also transformed from a conventional storehouse to an inventory management set-up with a greater emphasis on value added services. Warehouses now look to provide additional services like consolidation and breaking up of cargo, packaging, labeling, bar coding, reverse logistics etc. It has emerged as a critical growth driver, leading to large investments by logistics companies for the development of warehouses and logistics parks. 26% cost of logistics in India, is due to warehousing, packaging and losses. The distribution practice of pushing goods down the channel might be responsible for high increase in the inventory and warehousing costs.

There is urgent need to create modern agro warehouses. This would be critical for sustaining for sustaining agriculture. As per Planning Commission, agro warehousing needed is 35 mn MT in next 5 to 10 years.
11
Inland Container Depot- Standardization of containers promotes a

mechanized form of cargo handling. Containerization has also led to demand for services of ICDs and CFSs for stuffing/de-stuffing of containers and also custom clearance away from the ports. ICDs will benefit significantly from increased containerization of goods and entry of private rail operators. The ability to control traffic flow is the key for operating a CFS. A CFS/ICD that operates its own container terminal, freight forwarder or shipping line is well positioned to benefit from the surge in ocean freight. Presence of railway siding would play a key role in freight handled and throughput of the ICDs. Another critical success factor for ICDs would be road connectivity and proximity to industrial belts or SEZs
12
Custom Clearing and Forwarding- It is to provide timely and

accurate confirmation of shipment status via the web, EDI (electronic data interchange), or other communication tools as appropriate and to providing on-time service and real-time order status. It is focused on creating quality service tailored to meet the unique delivery requirements of the customer
13
PackagingIn India, consumer preference is increasing for clean, safe, hygienic nutritious and properly packed, labeled and presentable food items.
Introduction of modern state art technology in processing, packaging, labeling, preservation of perishable goods is required to improve "quality" for domestic and export markets. With economic liberalization and free trade under WTO, the domestic products have to maintain "quality" to face the stiff competition from imported foreign perishable goods. Packaging is most important for jewelry and gems logistics. Until the jewelry pieces are tactfully packed and are safe, the entire investment in the logistics may be futile. Undoubtedly, all sorts of jewelry are precious and require special care while packaging. All measures are taken by the jewelry retailers to ensure 14 that the precious merchandise is well protected and cushioned to avoid damage from jerks and accidents
Integrated Transportation Hub40% cost of logistic in India is due to transportation. Inventory and transport planning is a key to reducing operational cost of distribution. 98% of manufacturing firms in India have a contract with trucking companies for making dispatches and only 11% own their own fleet of trucks. So, to reduce cost we have need for integrated transportation hub. It requires detailed information of major transporters, users, operators of Logistics Parks to determine need gap of institutional, legal, infrastructure, facilities desired, demand assessment to estimate of total number of commercial vehicle arriving and leaving the park, and warehousing requirement, parking space, traffic circulation plan.
It can be seen that about 4% of firms have less than 5 suppliers, about 85% of firms have less than 5 plants, about 14% of firms have less than 5 regional distributors, and about 9% of firms have less than 5 retailers.
15
Integrated Transportation HubA similar statistics is obtained for other ranges of suppliers, plants, distributors, and retailers. What is worth noting is that 63% of firms have more than 100 suppliers, about 39% of firms have more than 100 distributors, and 77% of firms have more than 100 retailers. 17% of firms claim to have more than 500 suppliers. The same for distributors and retailers is 22% and 54% respectively.
This is perhaps where difficulties in managing logistics in India due to larger the number of suppliers or distributors. So, higher is the cost of coordination.
16
Integrated Transportation HubOf the manufacturing firms that operate more than one plant, 48% of these plants are located more than 100 kilometers away from each other, 33% of these plants are located more than 500 kilometers away from each other and 18% of these plants are located more than 1000 kilometers from each other.
Similarly, on an average, only 4% of suppliers are located within 5 kilometers of the manufacturing plant, about 13% are located within 5-25 kilometers of the plant, 16% are located within 25-100 kilometers of the plant and about 67% of suppliers have facilities that are more than 100 kilometers away from the plants. Location policies of the past may have forced some firms to locate plants away from each other.
However, this may be coming to haunt today as the cost of coordination increases and the ability to provide quick response to customer requirements might reduce. This problem gets exacerbated with suppliers.
Manufacturers have to either develop suppliers separately for each location thereby, increasing the number and affecting consistency in quality, price & delivery times, else material has to travel longer distances if there is a common supplier to all plants 17

18
Inventory Management24% cost of logistic in India is due to inventory management. Inventory and transport planning is a key to reducing operational cost of distribution. Inventory management is required to minimize cost of fulfill demand and supply.
For example, the low change in order processing & administrative costs in the cement sector could possibly be due to the use of call centers by various producers for order processing and dispatch planning.
Labeling and Order Processing10% cost of logistic in India is due to order processing and administration. Order processing includes receiving orders from customers, prioritizing orders, scheduling dispatch etc
19
Cold Chain FacilityCold chains are essential for storage and distribution of perishable goods and temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals and biological preparations and forms an integral part of their supply chain.
The present cold storage capacity in the country is grossly inadequate and with a positive future outlook for the agro, food processing, retail and pharmaceutical industry there is an urgent need to scale up and develop integrated cold chain facilities across the Country.

Dairy and Milk Production Poultry Production Fisheries Production Horticulture Production

22
A)Dairy and Milk ProductionWith an estimated 86.8 million tons of annual milk production from animals managed by nearly 70 million farmers, India is the top-most milk producing country in the world. The average annual growth is about 5.6%. With rapid industrialization, economic growth and 250 million potential economically strong domestic consumers of milk and milk products, there is a very strong potential for future growth of the industry.
In absence of properly developed infrastructure for preservation of raw milk in local areas many plants in Govt. sector collect fresh raw milk from the far-flung rural areas (each producer having very small quantities) twice a day , send it over a long distance to towns for processing, incurring high cost on transportation. This erodes the profitability.
As a result, many plants have become uneconomical, non-functional or they are working much below their potential capacities. Alternative strategies need to be developed to store raw milk in bulk coolers in the rural area and transport it in bigger volumes at a longer interval.
There is also a need to use alternative and cheaper energy sources to store cool milk, and develop rural markets so that much of the milk produced in the rural areas finds consumption avenue in the nearby local markets
23
B)Poultry ProductionThe annual growth rate is 8-10% in egg and 12-15% in the broiler industry. With the annual production of 33 billion eggs, India is the fifth worlds largest egg producing country. It also produces 530 million broilers per year. According to a Kuwait based broiler Company, the demand in Gulf (West Asia) is 60000 tons of frozen chicken per month. In Kuwait ,the firm sells 1000 metric tons per month.
One of the challenging problems faced by the Indian exporters so far is that the export demands are in huge quantities while the quantity available for export per lot from India is very small due to fragmented small sized farms with little or no facility for processing, refrigeration and marketing with infrastructure for maintaining a cold chain during the transportation of products.
24
C)Fisheries ProductionIndia has a coast line of about 6100 km , export economic zone of 2.02 million sq km with a continental shelf area of 0.5 million sq km along with peninsula. India ranks 3rd in world production with total annual fish production of about 5.65 million ton.
Most of the production is in the coast line states. They have grounds for captive rearing of prawns and fish and have many processing plants some of which are 100% export oriented units.
For that, resource specific vessels for exploitation of deep sea resources, development of fisheries infrastructure facilities on landing sites, harbors and establishing cold chain from production to consumption is required
25
D) Horticulture ProductionIndia may be among one of the worlds leading producers of horticulture products but more than half the fruits and vegetable produce end up rotting as waste, even before it arrives in the market for sale. Poor post-harvest methods of warehousing, storage and unsafe transportation from point of production to point of sale are among most prominent causes of this avoidable value drain.
The key issues in the Agri-logistics related to the development of the cold chain industry are of non-standard pricing, limited financial capabilities of the transporters, opportunistic profiteering, lack of scientific handling of produce and consequent high prices and limited choices for the consumers.
26
D) Horticulture Production-2
As per industry estimates, approximately 104 million tonnes of perishable product moves in the country in a year. Out of that around 100 million tones goes through the non-reefer mode and remaining 4 million tonnes goes through reefer transport. Out of the 100 million tonnes of perishable load 96 million tonnes directly enter in local and regional markets. Out of this volume, around 86 million tonnes is sold through the wholesale and retail outlets based in regional and local markets without warehousing and cold storage conditions and 10 million tones is the produce that requires cold storages even when they enter the markets.
Accordingly the requirement of cold chain across the country by the stakeholders far outstrips the handling capacity of the available cold chain infrastructure in the country.
Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) is moving into cold chain logistics in a big way and is developing a cold supply chain business in the form of suitable logistics infrastructure as well as state-of-the art storage facilities to sell fresh fruits and vegetables in the global food market.
27
Reverse LogisticsMany logistics movement of goods go beyond the conventional supply chain perspective and thereby generate additional business transactions.
These include failed components repaired to serve as spare parts, unsold stock being recovered, old products improved to meet latest standards again, reusable material returned and refilled / re-developed etc.
28
Reverse Logistics-2
Reverse product flows may generate value on a product, component, or material level. While earlier, the manufacturers tried to manage their reverse logistics system in-house, manufacturers are now also seeking the option of outsourcing of their entire reverse logistics network to third parties. However outsourcing the management of reverse logistics flow entails that the third party service provider has the mechanism to respond to the customers query, develop suitable system to collect the old product from the customer and if required possibly replace it with a new product, deliver the product to the manufacturers location.
29
Air CargoThe use of air as the mode of choice for the movement of cargo has increased over the past few years. At present India contributes over 1% of the world air cargo traffic.
The five major airports (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore) account for around 88% of the total air cargo handled in India. The major commodities being air freighted out of India are garments, machinery components, pharmaceuticals, dyes, chemicals and perishables such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and meat. Telecom items, gems & jewelry, electronics, IT related equipments etc.
