Balmer Lawrie to expand domestic rail, third-party logistics operations
Balmer Lawrie is growing its domestic logistics work, adding rail logistics and third-party logistics to its container freight stations, warehouses and cold-chain network. The state-run firm is also matching its Travel & Vacations business to rising domestic tourism. Chairman Adhip Nath Palchaudhuri said this at the 109th AGM. For business owners, this means more domestic supply chain options as global trade stays uncertain. Check your logistics partners.
