22 October 2026
Le Méridien, New Delhi
As India accelerates its manufacturing ambitions and strengthens its position as a global trade hub, the need for smarter, more connected logistics networks has never been greater. Rail logistics is emerging as a critical enabler of this transformation, helping businesses move larger freight volumes efficiently while enhancing connectivity across factories, logistics hubs, inland terminals, and ports.
RAIL FORWARD brings together senior leaders from manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, procurement, and export-focused industries for an evening of strategic discussions, industry insights, and peer networking focused on the future of rail-enabled multimodal logistics in India.
India's logistics landscape is entering a defining phase. Major investments in Dedicated Freight Corridors, Multimodal Logistics Parks, inland terminals, and integrated transport infrastructure are creating new possibilities for businesses to rethink how goods move across the country. At the same time, organizations continue to face increasing pressure to improve network efficiency, scalability, predictability, and connectivity.
This exclusive executive roundtable will explore:
The evening will provide practical insights, real-world perspectives, and meaningful conversations with industry peers shaping the next generation of supply chains in India.
India's manufacturing ambitions require logistics networks capable of supporting greater scale, efficiency, and connectivity. While rail infrastructure development is opening new opportunities, the real value lies in integrating rail with road transportation, warehousing, ports, terminals, and technology to create resilient, end-to-end supply chain solutions.
Throughout the evening, attendees will discuss how organizations can leverage rail-enabled multimodal logistics to strengthen network design, optimize freight movement, improve visibility, and create competitive advantage in an increasingly connected economy.
