abstract
The study will look at how investments in infrastructure and economic growth have affected the success of the logistics industry in India. It employs secondary data from December 2019, and it employs a time-series model, CAGR calculation, regression analysis, and benchmarking measures. The research observes that there is a high positive correlation between net profit margin in logistic industries and GDP, and it is the economic growth that facilitates profitability. But the unpredictability experienced in operation is caused by inflation and tax burden. India is at the very bottom in terms of efficiency of the logistics cost as compared to the industrialized countries. This study finds that even though macroeconomic growth helps to promote the profitability of the industry, there are some inefficiencies in the system that prevent a full exploitation of its potentials. It recommends the incorporation of infrastructure implementation with the global competitiveness frameworks and policy reformations. The recommendations include expansion of longitudinal data coverage and enhancement of the digital infrastructure and predictive analytics in investment planning. The research paper shows a detailed analytical framework regarding the dynamics of the logistics industry in India prior to 2020.
