Kristu Jayanti B.Com LSCM FAQs
Ques. What is the scope of B.Com Logistics and Supply Chain Management in India?
Ans. The logistics and supply chain sector in India is one of the fastest-growing industries, driven by the rapid expansion of e-commerce (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho), the government's focus on infrastructure development (PM Gati Shakti, dedicated freight corridors), and the growth of manufacturing under the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme. India's logistics market is expected to reach USD 380 billion by 2025. Graduates with specialised knowledge in logistics and supply chain management are in high demand across sectors including e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and international trade.
