MUMBAI: The logistics industry is poised to play an e n a b l i n g r o l e i n d r i v i n g economic growth on the back of policy support, technology integration and continued infrastructure development. Hence, in the Union Budget 2025-26, we expect the government to propose robust capex in developing both physical and digital infrastructures to build the pathway for India to become a $5 trillion economy by FY27-28, opines Mr. Ravi Jakhar, Chief Strategy Ofcer, Allcargo Group
“For the logistics industry, the continued push by the government for infrastructure development through initiatives like National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, etc. will help the industry make significant progress in achieving efficiency A robust road, rail, air and waterway networks, growing network of multi-modal logistics parks, developing renewable energy infrastructure and strong digital infrastructure will further expand economic
activities geographically, drive sustainability and enhance the service delivery capacity and capabilities for the logistics industry. A sustained capex push will also attract private investment in infrastructure development However considering long gestation, government has to t a k e l e a d i n l o g i s t i c s infrastructure capex to boost efficiency in supply chains.
“In addition, earlier E-commerce and now quick commerce's rapid growth has underscored the necessity for agile and accelerated distribution capabilities Therefore, the budget should propose fiscal measures to facilitate adoption of new-age technologies such as AI, automation, IoT so that the logistics industry breaks new grounds in efficiency as well as capacity utilisation and deployment.''

H a p a g - L l o y d , t h e world’s fifth-largest container shipping carrier, has reached a significant milestone in its storied history. Founded in 1847, the company has taken delivery of its 300th chartered vessel, marking the largest fleet size in its history.
The milestone vessel, a 24,480-dwt ship chartered from Reederei NORD Group, joins Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet alongside its sister ships, Nordbaltic and Nordpuma Although not the largest vessel in the fleet, it represents an important addition. The ships are being constructed by HuangPu Wenchong Shipbuilding Co , a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC)
Each vessel has a capacity of 1,930 TEU, including 313 FEU reefer containers, and measures 564 feet (172 meters) in length. According to Hapag-Lloyd, these ships will support its broader fleet renewal strategy and enhance its intra-Asia feeder services.
“This milestone reflects not only the growth of our fleet but the dedication of our teams and the trust of our partners worldwide,” writes Hapag. “According to Hansa Online, Hapag-Lloyd’s capacity grew by an impressive 18.7 percent in 2024, reaching a total of 2.3 million TEU –a testament to our continued focus on connecting global trade.”
In its 2023 annual report, the company said it had
260 container vessels with a capacity of approximately 2 million TEU. It was up from 2020 when it reported 237 vessels and a shipping capacity of 1.7 million TEU.
It is less than 60 years since Hapag entered the container segment. They note in the company history that Sealand’s first container vessel arrived in Hamburg in 1966 and was viewed with skepticism However, just two years later, Hapag-Lloyd Container Linien, a cooperation between Hapag and North German Lloyd inaugurated the Weser Express (728 TEU) from Bremen, the first European full container service to New York followed just two weeks later by the Elbe Express from Hamburg.
The unthinkable happened in 1970 when long-time German rivals HAPAG (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft) and North German Lloyd (NDL) merged. At the time, the combined fleet was 112 ocean-going vessels.
The current fleet consists of 129 owned vessels and 171 on charter with a total capacity of 2.34 million TEU placing the company fifth in Alphaliner’s ranking of the largest carriers They calculate the company has 37 vessels on order with a total capacity of 468,000 TEU.
This year also marks a milestone for Hapag as its new cooperation with Maersk, Gemini, is due to start in February 2025. It looks for continued growth and fleet expansion as it pursues the opportunity of the new operating agreement.

M U M B A I : R a t i n g s A g e n c y Moody's recently lowered India's economic growth forecast to 7% for the fiscal year ending March 2025, down from 8 2% recorded in the previous fiscal year. This revision comes amidst a broader slowdown in global and domestic economic trends. In its latest report, Moody's stated, "We expect India's economy to grow by 7% in FY 2024 (year to March 2025), down slightly from 8.2% the previous year However, the robust economy will continue to drive premium growth."
I n d i a ' s G D P p e r c a p i t a a t purchasing power parity increased by
11% year-on-year to $10,233 in FY 2023, as per the report.
The downgrade follows a similar revision by the Federation of Indian C
Industry (FICCI). Recently, FICCI reduced its GDP growth estimate for FY 2024-25 to 6.4% from the earlier projection of 7% The Economic Outlook Survey by FICCI noted, " T h
expectations and reflect a notable slowdown compared to 8 2% GDP growth recorded in 2023-24 "
Adding to the trend, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) had also r
projections in December ADB lowered its forecast for FY 2024 to 6.5%, citing weaker industrial growth and slower government spending. It further revised its projection for FY 2025-26 to 7% from the earlier 7.2%, attributing the downgrade to subdued private investment and the effects of tight monetary policies on housing demand.
"The forecast for FY2025 has been reduced slightly due to lower-thane x p e c t e d g r o w t h i n p r i v a t e investment and housing demand, impacted by tight monetary policy aimed at combating inflation," ADB stated in its outlook.
