WRI’s assessment
India’s Logistics Growth Index eased to 55.3 in August, slipping below its three-month average of 55.5 as monsoon freight disruptions and geopolitical capacity constraints weighed on momentum. Despite the pullback, expansion remained universal, with all 10 of 10 sub-indices registering growth.
