Reimagining a green movement of goods
- The logistics sector in India, while contributing significantly to the GDP, is also one of the largest carbon emitters, accounting for 13.5% of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Trucks, comprising a small portion of the vehicular population, are responsible for over a third of carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector.
- Green logistics involves a comprehensive shift in how logistics operations are conceived, managed, and executed.
- It requires not only new fuels and technologies but also a cultural realignment within organizations to prioritize sustainability.
- Key components of green logistics include adoption of electric vehicles, solar warehouses, smarter operations, and circular practices.
- Actions like using EVs and LNG trucks, moving from road to rail, leveraging AI-based planning tools, and constructing green warehouses are recommended.
- Transforming the logistics sector is more than just about efficiency; it is about reimagining how goods are moved with a focus on national development and environmental responsibility.
- Amicus Growth Advisors view logistics as a critical enabler of inclusive and sustainable growth as India progresses towards Net Zero and the goals of Viksit Bharat 2047.
