Indian freight forwarders operate in one of the world’s fastest-growing logistics markets. IFN gives them the global network to compete internationally — with vetted partners, financial protection, and a community of 235+ forwarders across 93+ countries.
India is one of the world’s most important and rapidly growing logistics markets. With major seaports at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Mumbai), Mundra, Chennai, Kolkata, and Kochi, key air freight hubs at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru, Indian freight forwarders handle pharmaceutical exports, automotive parts, textile shipments, and project cargo across every major trade lane.
But competing globally requires reliable international partners. Finding trustworthy agents in Europe, China, the Americas, and Africa is one of the biggest challenges Indian forwarders face. Working with unknown partners means financial risk, operational uncertainty, and potential damage to client relationships.
IFN solves this. When you join IFN, you gain immediate access to 235+ vetted freight forwarders in 93+ countries — all screened for financial stability, operational experience, and professional reputation. Every IFN partner has passed IFN’s membership review. You know exactly who you are working with.
