‘Logistics hubs like Ludhiana, already poised for growth, will see increased activity’

Arun Kumar, President, AMTOI stated, “The India–UK FTA is a major boost for Indian logistics, unlocking opportunities across sectors. With tariffs eliminated or reduced on 99 per cent of Indian exports, demand for efficient, scalable logistics services, especially in textiles, marine products, and gems, will surge. Logistics hubs like Ludhiana, already poised for growth, will see increased activity. The reduced tariffs on UK imports like automobiles and Scotch whisky will also drive inbound logistics. Moreover, streamlined customs and rules of origin enforcement will demand more sophisticated compliance and traceability solutions. Overall, the FTA is set to accelerate multimodal logistics, improve turnaround times, and promote greater investments in warehousing and last-mile connectivity.
