Very comprehensive report of supply chain infrastructure in India. I’m an investor and always would be interested to invest in India.

If yes, please refer link to me. Thanks in Advance.

India is an emerging economic giant and investment into India’s supply chain infrastructure is gaining momentum. India is becoming a huge supply chain ecosystem and the emergence of new business opportunities. The supply chain also has a great impact on other sectors as well. As India opens its economy in terms of supply chain further, financing in the improvement of supply chain linkage is vital for India’s business growth.
Good article Vivek Sood. Infrastructural woes are everywhere. They have a crippling effect on the supply chain network in India. Suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers all suffer from delays in the supply chain. It is important to measure the gaps between the existing and future supply chain infrastructure required for India’s economy. The gaps must be seriously identified and suitable solutions must be suggested.
The identification of main sources of production and consumption is of significant importance for economies like India. As you have also pointed out this aspect as a question in this article and I believe you would have answered it well in your book. Production and consumption must be balanced. This balance would ensure that the production levels are enough to meet the needs of the consumers. All of this is possible if the supply chain infrastructure is strong and very well managed.
The economy of India is blooming at a faster pace as the supply chain infrastructure is getting better every day. You have formulated a very justified list of questions as all these questions are essential for improving the supply chain processes and infrastructure. Infrastructure needs, changes, gaps, and requirements are all indispensable for strengthening the supply chain in India or any other country.
