Abstract
This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of basic industry and logistics supply chain systems in India, and proposes development strategies to address these issues. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the Indian industries, including its manufacturing sector and logistics infrastructure, and examines the challenges faced by the industry, such as problems of transportation networks, inefficiency issues of supply chains, and the coordination problems among stakeholders. Despite these challenges, the study highlights the opportunities for growth in the Indian logistics sector, including the potential for technological advancements and government initiatives to improve infrastructure. Finally, the study proposes strategies for developing a logistics supply chain system, including increasing investment in transportation infrastructure, implementing advanced logistics technologies, and improving coordination among industry stakeholders. Overall, this article aims to provide insightful points into the current state and future prospects in the basic industry and logistics supply chain systems in India.
