CILT-India, earlier known as Chartered Institute of Transport(CIT-India), is an independent National Council of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, an 28 years old world wide organisation with Headquarters in London.


CILT-India is organising the 10th CILT International Conference in New Delhi. The theme of the Conference is "Strategic Cost Reduction Through Effective Supply Chain Management"

With the 8.2% growth of the Indian economy for the year ended March 31, 2003 and the forecast of analysts that there will be at least a 7% growth in 2004-2005, the national economy is definitely upbest. The manufacturing sector registered a growth of 7.3% in 2003-2004. With this kind of growth supply chain management has a very prominent part to play in the current year and years ahead. Technological developments,especially in information technology and market requirements are throwing up opportunities for a range of players in different activities. There will be renewed interest, for example, in third party logistics provides for wide market segments, specialised logistics service providers and vehicle, container and storage technologies. The success of players in these and other activities will hinge on the ability of various players to leverage supply chain effectiveness from their actions. Co-ordination and integrated functioning of various supply chain entities is no longer an unachievable task, given the developments in modem IT and communication.
