Transport Logistic India 2026 (11th edition), held alongside the inaugural Air Cargo India 2026,

marked a defining moment in India’s logistics journey. Hosted from February 25 to 27, 2026, at

the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, the twin events served as a powerful testament to

India’s emergence as one of the fastest-growing logistics markets in the world. Bringing together

industry leaders, policymakers, innovators, and global stakeholders, the event created a dynamic

platform that reflected both the scale of opportunity and the urgency of transformation within the

sector.

Designed as a comprehensive and forward-looking exhibition, Transport Logistic India 2026

aimed to connect key stakeholders across logistics, mobility, information technology, and supply

chain management. What made this edition particularly significant was its ability to unify

multimodal transport solutions under one roof. Air freight, maritime shipping, rail networks, and

road transportation were all represented, enabling participants to explore integrated approaches

to logistics in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. This holistic approach aligns closely with

India’s broader vision of seamless connectivity and efficient movement of goods.

A major highlight of the event was its focus on innovation and sustainability. Exhibitors

showcased cutting-edge technologies aimed at addressing pressing challenges such as carbon

emissions, operational inefficiencies, and supply chain disruptions. From AI-driven cargo

operations to blockchain-enabled transparency and advanced data analytics, the exhibition floor

reflected the increasing digitisation of logistics. These technological advancements are not only

enhancing efficiency but also contributing to the creation of a more resilient and environmentally

responsible logistics ecosystem. Importantly, these efforts are aligned with national initiatives

such as PM Gati Shakti and the National Logistics Policy, which seek to streamline

infrastructure development and reduce logistics costs.

The scale and diversity of participation further underscored the event’s global significance. Over

300 Indian and international exhibitors took part, representing regions across Asia, Europe,

Africa, and the Americas. The presence of major industry players such as Air India, IndiGo,

Maersk, DHL Logistics, Emirates SkyCargo, CEVA Logistics, Qatar Airways Cargo, Etihad

Cargo, and Boeing added considerable weight to the exhibition. Additionally, participation from

organisations like Cathay Cargo, Changi Airport, Amazon Air Cargo, and Bosch highlighted the

cross-sectoral nature of modern logistics, where aviation, manufacturing, and technology

intersect.

The 2026 editions were held at a time when India’s policy focus on logistics and connectivity is

sharper than ever. The Union Budget 2025–26 allocated a substantial ₹11.21 lakh crore towards

infrastructure capital expenditure, along with plans for multimodal logistics parks, high-speed

rail corridors, and new national waterways. These developments signal a strong commitment to

building an integrated logistics network that can support economic growth and global trade. In

this context, the co-located trade fairs provided a timely platform for stakeholders to discuss how

different modes of transport can work together more effectively, ensuring that infrastructure

investments translate into tangible improvements in efficiency and connectivity.

One of the key strengths of the event was its ability to bring together both supply-side and

demand-side stakeholders. On one hand, global corporations such as Boeing and Emirates

SkyCargo, along with logistics providers and cargo infrastructure specialists, showcased their

capabilities and innovations. On the other hand, leading Indian companies, including Reliance

Industries, Tata Chemicals, Tata Projects, Tata Steel, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Mahindra &

Mahindra, JSW Group, Larsen & Toubro, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories represented the demand

side, sharing insights into their logistics needs and challenges. This convergence created valuable

opportunities for partnerships, business development, and knowledge exchange.

The event also featured several dedicated pavilions that highlighted specific aspects of the

logistics ecosystem. The German Pavilion brought together companies with strong expertise in

global trade and advanced logistics technologies, offering insights into international best

practices. Meanwhile, the AITWA Pavilion, led by the All India Transporters’ Welfare

Association, focused on India’s road transport sector, showcasing innovations and addressing

challenges faced by transporters. Participation from companies such as Porter, APM Logistics,

Intangles, BLR Logistics, and CJ Darcl emphasised the importance of strengthening road

logistics, which remains a backbone of India’s supply chain.

Another major attraction was the Future Tech Pavilion, powered by SmartKargo. This section

showcases emerging technologies that are set to redefine the logistics landscape. From

automation and artificial intelligence to blockchain and data-driven decision-making, the

pavilion highlighted how technology is transforming traditional logistics operations into smart,

efficient, and transparent systems. Startups and technology innovators played a crucial role here,

demonstrating that the future of logistics will be shaped not only by large corporations but also

by agile, tech-driven enterprises.

Beyond exhibitions and showcases, the event fostered a spirit of collaboration and innovation.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders on a single platform, it encouraged dialogue on critical

issues such as infrastructure integration, sustainability, and digital transformation. These

conversations are essential for building a cohesive logistics ecosystem that can support India’s

ambition of becoming a global logistics hub.

In conclusion, Transport Logistic India 2026 and Air Cargo India 2026 were more than just trade

fairs; they were a reflection of India’s evolving logistics landscape and its aspirations for the

future. By combining global expertise with local opportunities, the events have set the stage for a

more connected, efficient and sustainable logistics sector. As India continues to invest in

infrastructure and embrace technological innovation, such platforms will play a pivotal role in

shaping the country’s journey towards becoming a global leader in logistics and supply chain

management.
