Delhi is poised to become an even more significant player in India's rapidly evolving supply chain landscape, driven by strategic initiatives and infrastructure development. According to the Hon'ble Cabinet Minister of Industry, Food & Supplies, Forest & Environment, Government of NCT of Delhi, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the capital is combining infrastructure, policy reforms, and inclusive development to build resilient and future-ready supply chains.

Delhi's strategic importance as a logistics hub connecting northern and central India is already evident, with the city contributing approximately 16% of the national warehousing market share. To further strengthen this position, the government is proactively developing three new industrial hubs across the region. These hubs are designed to meet modern infrastructure standards, integrating logistics distribution centers to improve throughput and overall efficiency.

With over 8,000 operational factories employing nearly 400,000 workers, Delhi functions as a vital link in India's regional and national supply networks. These industries range from MSMEs to large manufacturers, forming a robust ecosystem that not only fuels economic momentum but also supports the daily lives of millions. MSMEs, in particular, are at the heart of this progress, driving both employment and innovation by supplying raw materials, producing essential goods, and enabling last-mile delivery.

Recognizing the importance of reducing logistics costs for India's economic growth, the government is making massive investments in expressways, economic corridors, and digital infrastructure. These advancements are cutting travel time, reducing fuel consumption, and streamlining freight movement. Digital infrastructure, including FASTag and fully digital tolling systems, further contributes to this efficiency.

The ET Edge SCM Fest 2025 highlighted the importance of empowered industries and modern supply chains working hand in hand to achieve a prosperous and sustainable Delhi, contributing to a stronger India. Resilience is built through foresight, collaboration, and shared purpose, ensuring that goods, services, and opportunities flow efficiently in a complex and uncertain world.

India's supply chain and logistics sector is projected to become a USD 484 billion powerhouse by 2029, making greater resilience, agility, and innovation essential. The Supply Chain and Logistics Conclave 2025 aims to address these challenges by bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss strategies for building a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable supply chain ecosystem in India.
