Logistics Reports
Data-backed reports and benchmarks on Indian logistics — freight costs, control tower adoption, exception management, and industry-specific supply chain performance.
India Diesel & Freight Cost Index
City-wise diesel prices, a Sensex-style index score, and real ₹/km freight cost impact — refreshed every Monday.
All Reports
The Household Fleet
How India's two-wheeler and small commercial vehicle boom reshaped last-mile freight — and why the fleet that delivers your appliances is invisible to most tracking systems.
The Frozen Fleet
India's cold chain fleet is growing twice as fast as general freight — but temperature excursions, reefer breakdowns, and fragmented carrier networks make it the most fragile segment in logistics.
The Monsoon Myth
Across 7,375 live trips spanning three weather regimes — dry season, quiet monsoon, and a red-alert storm — the monsoon calendar barely moved freight delays. One storm doubled them. India's freight doesn't run on seasons. It runs on events.
The Storm Tax — Mumbai–Pune Corridor
A 7-day monsoon burst over the Konkan coast and Pune ghats delayed 47% of Mumbai–Pune corridor trips versus 27% nationally. We sampled 4,586 trips against an IMD subdivision alert map to show exactly how weather translated into freight delay, lane by lane and industry by industry.
Every Bag Has Two Prices
We tracked retail cement prices across 14 states and 10 brands to map India's ₹65 inter-state price staircase — and the ₹55–70 trade/non-trade gap inside every region that, stacked together, creates a ₹135/bag arbitrage powering grey-market diversion.
The Hidden Clock on Every Truck — Odisha
We analyzed 123 live no-entry orders reported to ULIP across Odisha's 34 districts to map exactly when city roads close to trucks — averaging 13 hours a day, peaking around 5–6PM, with Jharsuguda and Rourkela running 9 zones on a full 24×7 ban.
