Given the challenges in the logistics sector, ASR has taken a conscious decision not to own any trucks and, instead, focus on the container business. “We have 1100 containers at present and plan to add another 700 containers this year, and by the end of next year, we will own over 2000 containers,” informed Rao.
The company is primarily engaged in containerised transportation activity, and has now expanded its activities to other areas of logistics and supply chain solutions through sister concerns incorporated in several countries in Asia. “Our focus is on the international trade. Probably, once GST is rolled out, we may think of doing some domestics business. Our focus is the ASEAN trade. We have offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Indonesia,” added Rao.
