NECC talks on GST as a game changer for logistics sector

With an aim to reach 500 locations across India in the next three to four years, North Eastern Carrying Corporation (NECC) is on an expansion drive. The logistic firm with a strong base in the east and North East part of the country is now planning to spread its roots wider across the region. With 150 vehicles already in its fleet, NECC will be adding more trucks in the next two years.

Having re-organized their operational structure this year, NECC is now developing profitable routes and reworking the existing, less profitable routes by deploying their own vehicles and increasing wallet share of the profitable accounts.

NECC has also made a name for itself when it comes to on-time door-to-door deliveries. Besides, a robust network, through a mix of rail and road transportation, adds further to its prowess, which helps in decreasing operational costs and optimizing service levels.

A strong strategic partnership with vendors and associates over the years has also helped NECC to seamlessly move millions of tons of cargo to a number of locations without any errors.

GST too can be credited for having been a game changer for the logistics industry. “We believe this is an extremely positive step for the economy. From a logistics point of view it will result in significant time and cost savings in the actual movement of vehicle which will translate into saving of fuel consumption and better turnaround time which would indirectly impact the overall cost,” said NECC Director, Utkarsh Jain.
