Logistics sector in India is highly fragmented and yet to progress as a major contributor of an efficient supply chain. This sector has been primary bottleneck in driving the economic growth due to multiple taxes charged by authorities at interstate checkpoints and various toll booths throughout the country. The truck drivers in India clock an average of 250-280 km per day. Much below the world average of 400 km per day and far below the 700 km which is the average distance covered by a truck driver in the USA every day. This is mainly due to archaic laws and multi-layered tax systems rather than bad roads or inefficiency of the driver. As road transportation accounts for 60% of the freight traffic in the country, the slow movement of goods across states leads to productivity loss. Multiple tax system also results in high logistics cost putting the extra cost burden on the consumers. World Bank estimation states that Indian corporations can save up to 30-40% logistics cost incurring due to stoppages at various tolls and check posts.

While the best are chosen to be promoted, remaining are either given justifications or left by themselves. The most likely consequence is the exit of those perceived not to be best.
