MatchLog, Accuracy Shipping partner to enhance container logistics in India
India's MatchLog Solutions has partnered with Accuracy Shipping to optimise container logistics in India.
The collaboration focuses on improving efficiency in export-import (EXIM) container flows across the country's major trade corridors using real-time container reuse models and technology-led processes.
The Indian logistics sector is witnessing increasing trade volumes and slower infrastructure growth, according to Accuracy Shipping.
MatchLog and Accuracy Shipping's collaboration aims to shift the sector's conventional, infrastructure-intensive systems to data-driven logistics operations.
The partnership will use MatchLog's AI-based triangulation engine and integrated reuse yards to repurpose import containers for export use in real time.
This approach is expected to eliminate empty trips, reduce driver waiting periods, and optimise the use of transport assets.
This transition will not only lower costs but also decrease carbon emissions, resulting in a more efficient and environmentally friendly logistics chain, according to the company.
Accuracy Shipping managing director Vinay Tripathi said: 'Our goal has always been to bring speed, efficiency, and transparency into every link of the supply chain.
'With MatchLog's platform, we are able to go a step further in optimising container utilisation at scale while meeting the evolving needs of our customers. It is about embracing the future of logistics where every move is meaningful, planned, and data-driven. We see this as a natural evolution of our services.'
Accuracy Shipping brings extensive port presence, a strong fleet, and customs expertise to the collaboration.
MatchLog complements these strengths with a platform that delivers predictive insights and reuse capabilities tailored to meet real-time supply and demand precisely.
The initiative aligns with MatchLog's broader goal of removing ten billion kilometres of redundant travel from the global EXIM container supply chain.
MatchLog India CEO Harsh Vardhan Gupta said: 'This collaboration represents the shift from a reactive to a predictive model of container logistics. Instead of building more infrastructure, we are making existing networks smarter.
'With Accuracy Shipping's on-ground strength and our technology-led reuse ecosystem, we are creating a new operating model; one that's faster, leaner, and purpose-built for scale. This is the kind of transformation India's supply chains need.'
Accuracy Shipping said that the collaboration will bring faster turnaround times, improved planning, and real-time visibility to the logistics landscape.

This 35-year-old left the US for India to start a ‘Cali-style' burritos business — now it brings in $23M/year
Introducing burritos to the land of biryani is a genuinely unconventional business idea. Yet, this experiment has turned into a massive success for 35-year-old American entrepreneur Bert Mueller. In a recent interview with CNBC Make It, the young entrepreneur described how he discovered that Mexican cuisine was a perfect match for the Indian palate, which convinced him to launch California Burrito, a fast-casual Southern California-style restaurant, in 2012. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) The company now has 103 locations across the country and generates $23 million in annual revenue. California Burrito's rise holds three powerful lessons every entrepreneur and investor should take notes on. Here's the secret sauce. Mueller told CNBC that he first visited India as a foreign student. In 2021, just 46,000 international students were enrolled in Indian colleges, according to the British Council, making it one of the less obvious choices for studying abroad. But for Mueller, that was part of the appeal. 'I wanted to go somewhere that was radically different than the U.S. and so I decided that India was the place to be given that, first off, I loved Indian food and second, people spoke English,' he told CNBC, calling the decision 'contrarian.' This contrarian mindset has helped many investors and entrepreneurs uncover hidden gems and rare opportunities in unlikely places. By keeping an open mind and considering unconventional options, you could boost your chances of finding a lucrative niche that few others have considered. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Another secret to Mueller's success is his cautious approach to building a business. He told CNBC that his initial estimate for startup costs was $100,000, but he raised nearly $250,000 from friends and family 'to be careful.' These additional funds gave him and his team much-needed flexibility to launch California Burritos and mitigate the risks of introducing an unproven concept to a new market. This approach mirrors Warren Buffett's investing principle of working with a 'margin of safety.' No one can predict the future with precision, so by raising more funds than you need or investing at a lower valuation than you think is fair could be the best way to mitigate unforeseen risks. Mueller admitted that his journey had its fair share of setbacks. He told CNBC that the first area manager he hired turned out to be corrupt and was colluding with vendors for kickbacks. The betrayal could have derailed the entire venture while it was still in its infancy, but Mueller says giving up wasn't an option. 'My mom is a marathon runner, and I have that trait in me,' he said. 'You have to keep going until you've reached the finish line. And I never felt like quitting.' According to psychologist Angela Duckworth, this ability to deal with failure and persevere is a key trait of high achievers in various fields. Her research indicates that grit — the ability to persevere despite challenges — is a greater predictor of success than social intelligence, IQ or even talent. Similarly, a study published in the Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research found that undergraduate students with higher levels of grit had greater intentions of launching their own business after graduation. Just like Mueller, if you're considering a new venture or a new opportunity, the ability to deal with setbacks and keep pushing forward despite adversity is a key skill you'll need to develop. Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — here are the alternative assets they're banking on instead How much cash do you plan to keep on hand after you retire?

CNBC's Inside India newsletter: Wall Street and investors turn bullish on India after two turbulent quarters
Having overcome fears of the India-Pakistan conflict, Indian markets might lose its temporary status as a "safe haven" market if the U.S. and China come to a deal. Those worries and a concoction of other factors — inflation, earnings disappointments — have led to lackluster performance for equities so far this year. The Nifty 50 is up 4.7% so far this year, and investors are likely to have welcomed the sideways move by the benchmark in May with a sigh of relief, in fact. But the tide may be about to turn as Wall Street analysts and investors turn bullish. The Indian market is currently one of the most expensive globally, trading at over 20% premiums to its 20-year average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which limits the potential for significant Nifty benchmark upside, according to analysts at CLSA. "After the recent rally, the Indian market has again inched up to become nearly the most expensive market in the world," said CLSA's Vikash Kumar Jain in a note to clients. Goldman Sachs strategists echoed that point, saying the MSCI India index "does not look favourable" even when adjusting for a stronger growth potential. Wonks over at Morgan Stanley took a similar view of the stock market's recent performance. "Since September 2024, the market has digested an unprecedented amount of bad news – excessive valuations in [small and mid-cap] and a sharp correction in the broad market pointing to a slowdown in macro growth and earnings, US tariff-related volatility and a major terrorist attack along with India's response with the large-cap indexes about 5% from all-time highs and almost negligible changes in implied volumes," said the Wall Street bank's Ridham Desai. Norma analyst Saion Mukherjee also noted that most companies beat expectations for the latest quarter, but only because the expectations had been lowered significantly. Yet, every single one of those market participants has turned bullish over the past couple of weeks. Goldman Sachs raised its price target for the Nifty 50 to 26,200. Nomura similarly sees the index at 26,140. Even long-time cautious bears such as Bernstein's Venugopal Garre, who has been right in cautioning investors over rich valuations in the small and mid-cap sectors (SMID), are now rethinking their outlook. "They've been in a bubble zone for a while — a point we've never hesitated stating," said Garre. "The reality is this: the SMID bubbles have let go of a lot of froth and are broadly valued in line with recent history. Not cheap, and not exorbitant." And it's not just strategists, analysts and advisors turning around. Money managers are also echoing the same sentiment. "A lot of people look at India and have said, 'Gosh, the valuations are enormous,'" said Andrew Dalrymple, chief investment officer at Aubrey Capital Management. "If you took that view, you'd never buy an Indian equity. You would have missed an enormous opportunity in the last five years." Aubrey Global Emerging Markets Strategy, which manages more than $500 million in assets, has 35% of its fund allocated to India, its largest allocation. "We try to reconcile valuation of the price earnings-to-growth ratio, and say when we look at an Indian company, it might nominally have that high P/E but we then say this is justified by price-to-growth ratio, which we try to keep at less than 1.5 times," Dalrymple added. "And that way, we find we have been able to exploit some extremely successful, very, very profitable investment opportunities over the years." Dalrymple's sentiment is also reflected in the data. Foreign institutional investors have been net buyers of Indian equities over the past two months. Yet, it's off a low base, suggesting a significant upside in an ideal scenario. Morgan Stanley's Desai noted that "foreign portfolios positioning is the weakest since we have had the data in 2000, and there are early signs that their view on India is shifting." Amid all the sudden bullishness, however, many investors have learned a thing or two over the past year and are approaching with caution. "This is likely to be a stock pickers' market, in contrast to one driven by top-down or macro factors since the Covid pandemic," Desai said in a note to clients on June 2. Financials, often viewed as a leveraged bet on the future of a nation, appear to be a favorite among many. In the large-cap space, Axis Bank was a top pick for Nomura and Goldman Sachs, with ICICI Bank seen favorably by Morgan Stanley, CLSA and JP Morgan. India's economy expands more than expected. Gross domestic product in the quarter ended March grew 7.4%. That figure's much higher than the 6.7% expected by a Reuters poll of economists and the fastest rate of quarterly expansion for fiscal year 2025, according to government data released Friday. For the full fiscal year, India's economy expanded by 6.5%, in line with the government's February estimate. U.S. authorities are reportedly investigating Adani's companies. Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn are looking into whether Gautam Adani's companies have been importing liquefied petroleum gas from Iran into India, according to the Wall Street Journal. A spokesperson for the Adani group "categorially denies" the allegations. Reserve Bank of India expected to cut rates two more times. That's according to Chetan Ahya, chief Asia economist at Morgan Stanley, who said that the RBI should be comfortable with two more rate cuts in the current economic climate because India's "growth conditions will still be reasonable" and inflation is likely to remain below 4%. Air travel by Indian nationals could cause the aviation industry to skyrocket. India is the third-largest air travel market in the world, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson told CNBC's Monica Pitrelli at the World Air Transport Summit over the weekend. "So if Indians start traveling... at the intensity of China, it's going to absolutely explode in volume internationally," Wilson Nifty 50 has stayed absolutely flat, so far this week. The index has risen 4.7% this year. The benchmark 10-year Indian government bond yield moved lower by 3 basis points compared to last week. On CNBC TV this week, Anubhuti Sahay, head of India economics research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that India's fiscal fourth-quarter economic expansion was "much higher than anyone of us expected" because of growth in net indirect taxes. However, that number can "keep on fluctuating" and eventually fade, so India's gross domestic product will likely return to the trend of 6.5%. The bank's full-year forecast for India's financial year 2026 is 6.6%. Meanwhile, APEC President of Marriott International Rajeev Menon said that India is "one of the most strategic markets in the world" for the hotel chain. Menon pointed out that occupancy growth is driven by secondary and tertiary cities as much as demand from bigger cities like New Delhi and Bangalore, which suggests that the India's rising middle class is a revenue opportunity for central bank will announce its interest rate decision Friday, when it is expected to lower rates by 25 basis points to 5.75%, according to LSEG data. The country will also be releasing data on its consumer inflation rate for May next Thursday. Meanwhile, Ganga Bath Fittings, a manufacturer of bathroom accessories, lists Wednesday.

The Indian white cement market is poised for growth, driven by urbanization and demand for high-quality construction materials. Key opportunities include the increasing preference for aesthetically pleasing residential and commercial spaces, government infrastructure initiatives, and expanding tourism, emphasizing sustainable and decorative applications. Indian White Cement Market Dublin, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India White Cement Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F" has been added to Indian White Cement Market was valued at USD 828 Million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.31 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 7.80%. Key Market Drivers Increasing Demand for Aesthetic and Decorative Applications One of the foremost drivers for the India White Cement Market is the escalating demand for aesthetic and decorative applications in the construction sector. As urbanization accelerates and the middle class expands, there is a notable shift towards enhancing the visual appeal of both residential and commercial properties. White cement, known for its superior brightness and smooth finish, is increasingly preferred for applications such as terrazzo flooring, ornamental concrete products, and designer tiles. This shift is not only driven by consumer preferences but also by the growing influence of modern architecture that emphasizes clean, minimalist designs. The ability of white cement to provide a pristine, elegant look makes it an ideal choice for creating sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing structures. Furthermore, growth in the real estate sector, fueled by government initiatives promoting affordable housing and smart cities, has led to a surge in construction activities. These initiatives often include high aesthetic standards, further propelling the demand for white cement. Additionally, as more architects and interior designers recognize the versatility of white cement in creating unique and eye-catching designs, its application in constructing luxury homes, commercial complexes, and public infrastructure is expected to rise. This trend is further amplified by the increasing popularity of decorative concrete, where white cement is used to achieve a range of textures, colors, and patterns, offering a wide array of design possibilities. The Indian construction industry is growing rapidly, with a focus on residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The demand for aesthetic and decorative applications, such as polished finishes, decorative facades, and interior wall coatings, is contributing to the growth of the white cement market. The construction industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7-9% over the next five years, significantly increasing the demand for high-quality white cement. Government Initiatives and Infrastructure Development Government initiatives and infrastructure development projects are pivotal drivers for the growth of the India White Cement Market. The Indian government has been actively promoting the development of smart cities, urban redevelopment projects, and infrastructure upgrades. These projects often involve constructing high-quality buildings and public spaces where aesthetics play a crucial role. White cement, with its superior aesthetic properties, becomes a preferred choice for such developments. For example, the Smart Cities Mission, which aims to develop 100 smart cities across India, emphasizes creating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing urban environments. This has led to increased demand for white cement in various construction activities, from residential complexes to public infrastructure such as parks, roads, and monuments. Moreover, government policies encouraging the use of energy-efficient and sustainable building materials further support adopting white cement. White cement's reflective properties contribute to lower heat absorption, improving the energy efficiency of buildings and aligning with the government's goals for sustainable development. Additionally, large-scale infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, and airports often incorporate white cement to achieve a clean and modern look, enhancing the overall visual appeal of these structures. The continued focus on infrastructure development, backed by substantial government funding and policy support, is expected to sustain the growth momentum of the white cement market in India. The Indian government allocated approximately INR 10 lakh crore (USD 122 billion) for capital expenditure in the Union Budget 2023-24, which is 33% higher than the previous fiscal year. A significant portion is directed toward large-scale infrastructure projects requiring high-quality white cement for decorative finishes and specialized applications. Rising Tourism and Hospitality Industry The booming tourism and hospitality industry in India is another significant driver for the white cement market. With more tourists visiting the country, there is a corresponding rise in the construction of luxury hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities. These establishments prioritize high aesthetic standards to attract and retain guests, leading to greater demand for white cement in their construction and renovation projects. The hospitality industry often uses white cement for its ability to create visually appealing interiors and exteriors, including applications in swimming pools, spa areas, facades, and landscaped gardens. The use of white cement enhances the elegance and sophistication of these spaces, providing a premium experience for visitors. Furthermore, as the tourism sector expands, there is also an increase in the development of related infrastructure such as airports, tourist attractions, and cultural sites, where white cement is utilized to achieve a distinctive and polished look. Additionally, the hospitality industry's emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices aligns with the benefits of white cement, which offers energy efficiency through its reflective properties, reducing cooling costs and contributing to a greener environment. The integration of white cement in the construction and refurbishment of tourism and hospitality facilities is thus driven by the need to meet high aesthetic standards and sustainable building practices, crucial in maintaining the industry's competitiveness. As tourism grows and the hospitality sector expands, the demand for white cement is expected to rise, providing significant opportunities for market growth. The Indian tourism industry is expected to grow at 11-12% annually, with the government targeting 30.5 million international tourist arrivals by 2028. This growth will spur the construction of resorts, hotels, and tourist infrastructure, increasing the need for white cement for aesthetic purposes. Key Market Challenges High Production Costs One of the predominant challenges facing the India White Cement Market is the high cost of production compared to ordinary Portland cement. The manufacturing process of white cement is significantly more complex and requires higher purity raw materials, such as limestone with very low iron content. The availability of such high-quality raw materials is limited and often more expensive, adding to the overall production costs. Additionally, the production process demands higher energy consumption to achieve the desired whiteness and consistency. The kiln temperatures required for white cement production are substantially higher, leading to increased fuel consumption and higher operational costs. Using advanced technology and machinery to maintain the color and quality of the cement further escalates production expenses. Moreover, white cement production involves stringent quality control measures to ensure the purity and brightness of the final product. These quality assurance processes, including multiple stages of grinding, heating, and cooling, are both time-consuming and costly. The need for specialized equipment and skilled labor to manage these processes adds another layer of financial burden. Consequently, the high cost of production makes white cement significantly more expensive than ordinary Portland cement, limiting its market penetration. This price difference poses a challenge for manufacturers as they strive to make white cement competitive in a cost-sensitive market like India. The higher price often restricts white cement to niche applications where aesthetic value is prioritized, rather than being used widely in general construction. Furthermore, the fluctuating prices of raw materials and energy can lead to volatility in production costs, affecting the profitability of white cement manufacturers. This unpredictability makes it challenging for companies to plan and budget effectively, impacting their ability to scale operations and achieve economies of scale. The challenge of high production costs necessitates continuous innovation and efficiency improvements in the manufacturing process to reduce expenses and make white cement more affordable and accessible to a broader range of consumers.
