REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING-
The Rs 4,000 billion Indian logistics industry, growing at an average
growth rate of 20% annually, is driven by robust economic growth,
rising export and import, government infrastructure investment and
logistics outsourcing. The year under review was an exceptional year of
turbulences. The depression in the US destroyed investor wealth worth
trillions of dollars across the world. The burst claimed high profile
banks and insurance companies, resulting into complete financial chaos
all over the world.
During the year, your company achieved a turnover of Rs. 3265.81 Lacs
as'' against Rs. 2439.42 Lacs in the previous year, showing a growth of
33.87 percent There have been significant profit in compared to last
year ,Company have been able to achieve a profit of Rs 38.25 Lacs
before tax during the current Fiscal Year as compared to Profit of
Rs.21.05 Lacs previous year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK-
India''s logistics sector is projected to grow from Rs 8,000 billion to
Rs 10,000 billion by 2015 to Rs ,2000 billion by 2020 (Source:
Assocham), supported by a rapid growth in the manufacturing and service
sectors, substantial domestic and international freight growth
consumption proliferating in Tier II and Tier III cities and the
government''s proposal to invest
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS-
The Indian logistics sector is fragmented. Two-thirds of the total
trucks are owned and operated by transporters with fleets smaller than
five trucks. The result is intense competition, low freight rates and
thin profitability. The logistics cost in India is still high compared
with developed markets owing to a non-conducive policy environment,
extensive industry fragmentation While it is true that India cannot
remain immune to global meltdown and the impact of global financial
crisis on India were stronger than expected, it is also showing that it
will be the first to recover. The measures taken by our Apex Bank had
resulted into comfortable liquidity of rupee. Indian banks are much
more conservative than American & European Banks when it comes to
lending. Hence the exact same problems that distributed that
distributed global financial institutions, is not expected to effect
Indian financial system.
