‘Need to focus on capacity constraints & last-mile connectivity’

“Currently Indian Railways boasts one of the largest rail networks globally. The dedicated freight corridors have improved rail freight transportation efficiency, but challenges such as capacity constraints and last-mile connectivity persist, says Mohit Kapoor, Chair Projects and Events Committee
Warehousing Association of India. He adds, “The extensively expanding road network in India is improving yesteryear’s traffic congestion, poor road conditions, and operational inefficiencies.
The air cargo industry is growing, with major airports serving as cargo hubs.
However, infrastructure limits, limited freight handling facilities, high operating expense, complex legal frameworks, lack of smooth integration between multiple forms of transportation, and sustainability issues are main hurdles, in addition to hesitancy for technological upgrade, and environmental concerns in unplanned ways of development.”
