Nawany Group that was co-founded in 1981 by brothers, Ashok and Vinod, today is a name to reckon with in the cement and fly ash bulker road transportation. With the able next generation now taking up responsible roles alongside the senior management, Nawany Group is today aiming at growing steadfastly, notwithstanding any dampeners – even if it is in the form of the current pandemic, Covid-19.
The Covid-19 pandemic has, at its worst, wreaked havoc on the country’s economy – akin to its detrimental impact on the global economy. The road transportation segment is no different. The damage has been extensive and the challenges are still being faced despite the signs of slow yet definite revival of the market.
Mohit Nawany, Director – ASL Logistics shares the general fears plaguing the transportation and logistics sector. Yet he is confident that the revival of the market sentiment is soon to happen: “Typically, the robustness of the road transportation sector and the country’s economy work in tandem. Much will depend on the way the road transportation industry recovers and I feel it will mostly be uneven across the sectors. From the cement transportation perspective, we are currently seeing some pre-monsoon pent up demand coming our way. Driver shortage is severe and hence the operating vehicles are doing record-breaking trips. We anticipate that this will taper out in the coming few weeks. In my opinion, the market will return to a certain sense of normalcy by around October 2020. We hope that the virus becomes less destructive by then, but till then I am sure every stakeholder is looking at - first survive and then revive. That is definitely the mantra that we have adopted.”
