Despite being a major food and pharma producer, India’s cold-chain still struggles with power cuts, ageing infrastructure and skill gaps. Unreliable electricity, weak insulation and traffic delays often push temperatures beyond safe limits, raising spoilage risk for dairy, frozen food and vaccines. Many sites also lack trained staff, integrated storage–transport operations, and robust digital tracking. Players like AWL highlight how upgraded equipment, better training and integrated logistics design can sharply reduce losses.
