The logistics cost as a percentage of product cost varies from 14-22 per cent. Ambuja due to its plant locations, takes advantage of sea transportation to move its products to the major markets like Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Chennai, etc. The sea transportation forms the major part of its transportation mode. Large quantities of its cement production are dispatched through the sea route. As sea transportation is cheaper than both road al rail transportation, Ambuja is spending less on transportation cost.
