India positioning itself as a strategic node in global e-commerce logistics

India is increasingly positioning itself as a strategic node in global e-commerce logistics. Traditionally known as a sourcing market for manufacturing and exports, the country is now evolving into a more complex ecosystem that combines large-scale domestic consumption with expanding cross-border fulfilment operations. This shift reflects both structural improvements in logistics infrastructure and the rapid growth of digital commerce across the country. Warehouse development has played a key role in this transformation. Over the past decade, India has seen significant expansion in modern Grade A warehousing capacity, particularly around major logistics corridors and metropolitan consumption centres. At the same time, airports and airfreight terminals are increasing cargo handling capacity to accommodate growing parcel volumes linked to international e-commerce. Multimodal connectivity is also improving, reducing transit times and boosting supply chain reliability, as per a report.
