Infrastructure & Logistics
Connecting markets, structuring growth, securing value chains
A Strategic Pillar of Economic Transformation
Infrastructure and logistics form the backbone of modern economies. They determine the fluidity of trade, territorial attractiveness, industrial performance and integration into global value chains.
Ports, rail corridors, airports, motorways, multimodal hubs, intelligent warehouses, as well as energy and digital infrastructure together create an interconnected ecosystem in which logistics performance becomes a decisive factor of national competitiveness.
In a context shaped by partial supply chain reconfiguration, the energy transition and the acceleration of Asia–Europe trade flows, the sector is entering a phase of profound modernisation, combining digitalisation, sustainability and strategic sovereignty.
Vision 2025–2030: Connectivity, Resilience and Sustainable Transition
Between 2025 and 2030, the global infrastructure and logistics sector will be structured around several key dynamics:
-
Modernisation of transport networks to support industrial and commercial growth
-
Digitalisation of logistics chains (data integration, artificial intelligence, traceability, integrated platforms)
-
Development of low-carbon and resilient infrastructure
-
Securing strategic trade corridors in response to geopolitical tensions
-
Acceleration of public–private investment in critical infrastructure
This period marks a shift from quantitative expansion towards intelligent and sustainable optimisation of infrastructure systems.

Shared Strategic Priorities
France–India cooperation in infrastructure and logistics addresses several critical priorities:
-
Securing supply chains
-
Transitioning towards low-carbon infrastructure
-
Optimising industrial and commercial flows
-
Structuring sustainable strategic corridors
-
Developing technological partnerships in smart logistics
These priorities extend beyond contractual engagement and reflect a long-term strategic partnership approach.
Structuring a France–India Logistics Corridor
The France–India corridor represents a significant opportunity for:
-
Co-development of infrastructure projects
-
Integration of intelligent logistics solutions
-
Cooperation in engineering and project financing
-
Deployment of digital technologies applied to transport systems
-
Structuring connected Europe–India hubs
The structuring of such a corridor requires a thorough understanding of regulatory, financial and institutional frameworks in both countries.
Strategic Perspective
A structured sectoral approach enables:
-
Alignment of industrial and territorial priorities
-
Identification of synergies between public and private operators
-
Securing of investments and partnerships
-
Anticipation of regulatory and technological developments
Infrastructure and logistics stand at the core of the France–India economic relationship, as they directly condition trade fluidity, industrial competitiveness and long-term strategic resilience.
