The operating gap

Clean freight is a stack, not a switch.
It gets built one layer at a time.

The corridor is open, the freight rail is running, and Maharashtra’s first commercially operational multimodal park sits an hour from this room. The constraint has moved from infrastructure to operations: depot power, duty cycles, the cost per delivery, and an emissions number your customer is about to ask for.

About the forum

Built where the freight is

The summit. Focused on decarbonisation and operating decisions for inland freight—how green logistics networks can be practically run, transitioned, and scaled.

The agenda. Focused on operational execution—rail modal shift, phased fleet electrification, Scope 3 compliance, and warehouse-to-transport data sharing across Maharashtra.

The industry focus. Built for decision-makers across the freight ecosystem who operate networks and own the sustainability mandate:

Fleet owners and transport operators
Shippers and cargo owners
3PL and multimodal logistics operators
Warehousing developers and government transport bodies

The conversation. Centered on a core insight: the challenge isn’t just building green infrastructure, but making the operating choices that make it viable.

The city · Nagpur

Nagpur is built where the freight is, not where the conferences are.

Sitting at the junction of major dedicated freight corridors, the Samruddhi Mahamarg, and Multimodal Logistics Parks, it gives regional operators a voice in a conversation traditionally held in Mumbai.

Key practitioner questions
01

Modal shift reality: What freight realistically moves by rail over road, and what blocks the rest?

02

Fleet roadmap: Which commercial fleet segments make economic sense to electrify first?

03

Scope 3 compliance: What do customer carbon clauses actually oblige operators to report?

04

System integration: What core data must warehouse and transport management systems exchange to deliver real efficiency?

What you take home

The Monday Morning Checklist

Every session closes the same way. The chair puts three actions on the record, things you can start on the first working day after the summit, without a budget approval or a new licence.

You leave with one checklist per session, and the name of the person in the room who is furthest ahead on each of them.

Three checklist rows, the last one ticked.

One day, and a short checklist written in the room for every session on it. Tell us where to send the programme.
