Logistics company Western Carriers is expanding into new regions across India and focusing on areas where logistics demand is high. The Kolkata-headquartered company is working on offering more services and covering new locations.
“Western Carriers (India) looks set for strong growth in the future. The company is working to build closer relationships with its customers by offering more services and covering new locations,” said the company in its annual report for 2024-25.
“Western Carriers also plans to reach new business sectors and use customer referrals to grow even more. The company wants to improve profits by focusing on valuable, integrated services and making their operations more efficient,” it said.
Growth will also come from acquiring other companies and forming partnerships, which will make it easier to enter new markets faster. “Western Carriers continues to upgrade its vehicles, containers and equipment to boost safety and service quality,” it said.
“We operate within an industry that is fundamental to India’s economic aspirations. The Indian logistics sector is poised for significant expansion, projected to grow from $317 billion in 2024 to $484 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 8.8 per cent. This momentum is strongly supported by transformative government initiatives such as the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the development of Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) and the establishment of Multimodal Logistics Parks,” said Rajendra Sethia, Chairman and Managing Director.
“These strategic interventions are creating a highly conducive environment for organised, integrated players like us, to leverage the growth in the logistic sector,” Sethia added.
Strong growth
The company said looking ahead, the B2B logistics segment in India is poised for strong growth, driven by expanding manufacturing capabilities, increased global trade linkages and the rise of MSMEs integrating into export supply chains. The policy-driven push for India as a global manufacturing hub (via PLI schemes and Make in India) will fuel demand for robust, reliable logistics solutions tailored to industrial requirements. Additionally, innovations in cold chain logistics, specialised packaging and last-mile delivery solutions will gain prominence given the diverse product mix in B2B trade.
