Industrial Corridors & Logistics
Mapping India's logistics network, Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs), and port capacities.
Port Transit Estimator
| Origin Port | Destination | Avg Transit (Days) |
|---|---|---|
| Nhava Sheva (JNPT) | Jebel Ali (UAE) | 4-6 |
| Mundra (Gujarat) | Rotterdam (EU) | 20-24 |
| Chennai Port | Singapore | 5-7 |
The Logistics Cost Deficit
India's logistics cost historically hovered around 13-14% of GDP (compared to 8-10% in developed nations). The National Logistics Policy (NLP) aims to cut this to single digits by 2030 through massive infrastructure spending.
Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs)
The Western DFC (connecting Delhi to JNPT port in Mumbai) is a game changer for manufacturing in North India, cutting freight transit times from 72 hours to under 24 hours. The Eastern DFC focuses on coal and steel movement.
When selecting a factory site, proximity to the DFC network is arguably more important than state-level tax subsidies.
