‘Powering growth with tech, clean energy and AI’

Nikhil Agarwal, President, CJ Darcl Logistics said, “This year witnessed remarkable resilience from the Indian logistics sector considering the geopolitical complexities, government’s focus on enhanced manufacturing, customers affinity toward environmentally friendly options and more traceable deliveries. Now, as we head into 2026, we anticipate seeing more tangible growth in terms of larger adoption of technology, transition toward cleaner fuel, and integration of AI into supply chain. While 2025 was more about conceptualising AI’s use case, we see its role evolving to drive impactful business decisions in the coming year. With the government’s policies and initiatives such as the development of multimodal logistics parks, dedicated freight corridors, construction of new highways and data from PM Gati Shakti being accessible to private logistics players, we see the entire ecosystem coming together to realise the vision of making India a global manufacturing and trade hub with improved efficiency. At CJ Darcl, we’re committed to working alongside the industry stakeholders to elevate India’s global positioning as a logistics powerhouse.”
