Sea transport

Sea transport has gained lots of popularity and is now the largest carrier of freight. Sea transport is far more economical than the air transport. Sea transport is mostly used for larger distance freight carriage, but it can be used for even the domestic transportation between various cities within the nation. Sea transport can be used in order to ship materials in larger volume and specially incase of import or export. We can use sea transport to ship any material that can be transported. Since sea transportation is done via water, delivery is generally slower than the road or the air transport, which is comparably faster. So in order to move the time critical materials, sea transport may not be a good choice, but yes it is economical.

Air transport

Air transport is one of the most popular and modern mode of transportation, which is used to move time critical materials. Since air transportation is costlyand not economical for high volume of good movements, low weight materials/packages are transported using this mode of transportation. The recent tax relaxation on air fuel will make air transportation cheaper and accessile to normal business.

Rail transport

Rail transport is becoming a part of the logistics chain, which facilitates international trade and economic growth. Rail transport is capable of high volume material transportation and is energy efficient, but lacks flexibility. As India has the widest network of rail track, rail transport is another good way to move goods. Rail transport is mainly used to move industrial items and raw materials like raw mining stones, ciment, rice etc.
