India’s logistics sector witnessed uneven performance
across transport modes during the year. While overall freight volumes grew modestly,
air cargo emerged as the strongest-performing segment, driven by rising demand
for time-sensitive and high-value shipments.
Jeena’s air freight
volumes outperformed other modes, recording high growth during FY2025. Demand
was largely driven by electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and express
cargo, as customers increasingly prioritised speed, reliability, and certainty
amid global supply chain uncertainty.
The shift was further accelerated by global disruptions such as Red Sea route
diversions, prompting many shippers to adopt alternative and faster transport
options.
Beyond air cargo,
other transport modes also delivered steady performance during the year. Sea
freight also showed growth, supported by stable export–import volumes through
Indian ports. Road freight continued to anchor domestic logistics operations,
handling over 70% of inland cargo movement, even as the sector navigated route
elongation, rising operating costs, and freight-rate volatility. Through
adaptive strategies and operational resilience, Jeena sustained stable
performance across these modes.
To mitigate disruption, Jeena & Company
implemented a combination of route diversification, close coordination with
global carrier partners, and enhanced scenario planning. The company also
leveraged digital tools for real-time shipment visibility, predictive
disruption alerts, and proactive customer communication.
Commenting on the company’s performance Prediman Koul, Chief Executive
Officer, Jeena & Company said, “2025 reinforced the
importance of agility and preparedness in logistics. While geopolitical
disruptions created volatility, as trusted partners, we made sure to deliver
the best to our customers with our focus on multimodal flexibility, technology
adoption, and strategic investment which helped us maintain continuity and
deliver steady growth. Air cargo, in particular, played a critical role in
supporting customers during periods of heightened uncertainty.”
“Looking ahead,
Jeena & Company remains optimistic about growth opportunities in 2026,
supported by expanding trade activity, policy-led infrastructure development,
and increasing demand across sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals,
e-commerce, and defence,” he added.
