Supply Chain and Logistics

The Strategic Enabler of National Competitiveness, Industrial Growth, and Global Trade Leadership

As India envisions and accelerates toward becoming a global trade powerhouse under the aegis of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, its logistics corridor stands at a defining crossroad. Through decisive measures, it is also reinforcing its network with key partners, such as the USA, EU, China, UAE, and Russia, thus ensuring a combined trade volume worth over USD 500 billion.

However, an imbalance is evident. While roads shoulder nearly two-thirds of India’s freight, straining both infrastructure and costs, rail and maritime systems remain underutilised despite steady investments. Indian ports' infrastructure continues to anchor trade (handling 96% of volumes), but this key link faces modernisation and connectivity challenges. At the same time, air cargo, vital for high-value sectors, demands deeper infrastructure expansion beyond metro cities.

Ergo, the next decade will be defined by how effectively India rebalances its modal mix and builds a future-ready, multimodal logistics ecosystem.

The Precision Economy:

From Movement to Measured Excellence

In a landmark shift, India has successfully reduced its logistics costs from 14% of GDP to nearly 9%, aligning itself with global benchmarks such as the US and Europe. This 9% benchmark marks the beginning of the Velocity Era, sharpening focus on accuracy, predictability, and optimised outcomes at every node of the value chain.

For India, embracing the Precision Economy is critical not just to sustaining its global trade ambitions, but also to pursuing a major infrastructure overhaul and support the envisioned transition. It demands not just infrastructure upgrades, but a systemic shift toward digitalisation, interoperability, and coordinated execution across stakeholders. The winners in this new landscape will be those who can move beyond scale to precision, in the process transforming logistics from a cost centre into a driver of profitability, resilience, and growth.

5th EDITION

Supply Chain and Logistics
Conclave 2026

The 5th Edition of the Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave 2026 serves as the boardroom for India’s economic architects. As global trade enters a phase of “Geoeconomic Confrontation,” India’s PM Gati Shakti and the National Logistics Policy (NLP) have institutionalised a multi-modal, GIS-enabled planning culture.

With over 22 million people employed in the sector and Unified Logistics Interface Platforms (ULIP) now mainstream, the industry is moving beyond “Digitalization” toward “Cognitive Value Chains.” We are no longer just fixing infrastructure; we are building an autonomous, data-driven ecosystem that serves as a global alternative to traditional hubs.

The 5th edition of the Conclave is curated for a high-level audience of CSCOs, CPOs, and CLOs who are navigating a “Compliance Cliff” and a “Tech Surge.” This year, we break the mould with:

The 9% Benchmark

Deep dives into how we maintain single-digit logistics costs

Cognitive Procurement

Moving from “Source-to-Pay” to AI-driven “Insight-to-Value”

The Sectoral Summits

2-hour specialised tracks for Cold Storage - FMCH – Healthcare, Retail, and Auto & Manufacturing

Looking Ahead: The 2047 Vision

As the 5th edition of this premier platform, the Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave 2026 is more than a conference and thought-leadership platform; it is the launchpad for the next decade of Indian trade. We invite you to join the vanguards of the industry as we engineer the Frictionless Chain and define India’s role as the world’s most efficient logistics hub.
