Delhivery is set to acquire a 99.4% stake in rival Ecom Express for ₹1,407 crore in an all-cash deal, marking one of the largest consolidations in Indian logistics.
Indian Railways has achieved record freight loading and revenue for the fourth consecutive year in FY 2025, transporting 1.61 billion tonnes and surpassing the US to become the world’s second-largest rail freight carrier after China.
Despite a 26% US tariff on Indian goods, India may benefit from significantly higher tariffs on competing hubs like China (54%), Vietnam (46%), and Thailand (36%), according to MAIT.
India’s express parcel market is projected to reach 24–29 billion shipments by FY30, up from an estimated 10–11 billion in FY25, driven by rapid growth in e-commerce, hyperlocal, and quick commerce segments, according to a Redseer report.
India’s lower tariff exposure compared to other global markets may attract international manufacturers, driving up demand for industrial and warehousing infrastructure, according to logistics experts.
