The major challenge is getting

1. Drivers for Trucks.

2. Delivery boys for delivering in E-commerce.

3. Worst Indian road & civic sense.

4. Bribing Police, tax officials & RTO.

5. In case vehicle mets with accident, it takes months to recover the vehicle from police station and even after taking delivery we have to spend lakhs on trucks to be operational because half the spares would be stolen when it was stand still in Police station.

6. Highly scrutinising Insurance for commercial vehicles and much more to list and the list goes very long.

Only owner owner-cum-driver's are making minute profits for their family to survive and all the other major players are really struggling.

For Example: VRL Logistics have many trucks non-operational due to lack of drivers after investing crores in buying them.

Only when Indian road sense becomes right and autopilot comes to India, these businesses would make profit.

Exactly, you have summed it up well. The logistics sector in India faces structural challenges, which keep margins razor-thin. Until systemic issues like road discipline, infrastructure, and technology adoption improve, real profits will remain a distant dream for most players.
