Warehousing in India has been linked to food Security and agricultural growth. More than 40 percent of the agricultural warehouses are run by state enterprises such as FCI, CWC and SWCs.CMCs offer to preserve and protect commodities stored in warehouses on behalf of lenders. Most of the manufacturers have constructed regional warehouses of their own to avoid interstate taxes. Under GST, they can streamline their operations and outsource their operations to 3PLs to save up to 20%. By all this we can conclude that the warehousing in India is not good but we can improve it by introducing renewable energy by which our dependency on gulf country will reduce and by introducing various tax bills like GST.
