How the logistics industry is positioned in India

The market size of logistics grew at a CAGR of 11 per cent from FY19 till FY24 and it is projected to reach a market size of ₹35.3 trillion by FY29. While expenditure on logistics as a % of GDP is at a relatively higher 13 per cent, it is expected to drop to high-single-digits on improving connectivity and efficiencies through formalisation of the economy. The transportation segment contributes to most of the logistics market in India and within that, roadways dominate as of FY21. However, with the improvement in the rail infrastructure, Railways are expected to grow at a faster pace. This has been compiled from the RHP of Wester Carriers (India) Limited

How the retail segment is pushing systematic credit growth faster

Systematic credit has been growing at 8 per cent CAGR since FY19 and at a much faster 12.5 per cent CAGR since FY21. The share of retail within systematic credit is also increasing Y-o-Y from 30 per cent in FY19 to 37 per cent in FY24. Retail credit, on the other hand, witnessed solid Y-o-Y growth at low teens since FY23 and the share of personal loan and gold loan have increased while that of housing and auto loan has decreased. However, moderation in retail credit growth is expected on account of RBI’s increase in risk weight mandate for riskier loans.  Compiled by Arun K Shanmugam
