Abstract:

India-EU trade is an essential component of the international supply chain that contributes significantly to both the economies. However, the logistics chain for transporting selected goods from India to the EU is plagued with issues, including expensive transportation, regulatory complexity for compliance, and poor customs and port processes. This thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the supply chain of leading Indian exports to the EU in various sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, and automotive components. Simulating the complete process of logistics—Indian manufacturing and warehousing, customs clearance, transportation, and ultimate delivery in the EU—this analysis identifies the most significant bottlenecks and inefficiencies that influence supply chain performance. With qualitative case studies complemented by quantitative data analysis, the research sheds light on critical issues, including port congestion, the intricacies of international trade regulations, customs clearance delays, and increasing transport costs. Also examined is the role of digital technologies, including blockchain, IoT, and AI, in offsetting these challenges. The research also proposes optimization strategies to enhance efficiency, such as adopting multimodal transport, upgrading infrastructure, and leveraging technological innovations for real-time tracking and demand forecasting. The research discovers that while trade between the EU and India is at the heart of global commerce, addressing logistics inefficiencies and regulatory complexities will be key in an effort to make Indian exports competitive. Policy recommendations, including the promotion of additional green logistics schemes and the pursuit of a comprehensive India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA), are proposed to maximize the logistics chain. This study aims to make significant contributions to industry practice and academic research, allowing companies, policymakers, and logistics service providers to maximize the India-EU trade stream
