Jeena & Company reported business volume growth in 2025 despite a challenging global environment marked by geopolitical tensions, trade route disruptions, and persistent cost volatility across supply chains.
The company said uneven performance across transport modes in India’s logistics sector saw air cargo emerge as the strongest-performing segment during the year, supported by rising demand for time-sensitive and high-value shipments.
Air freight volumes at Jeena & Company outperformed other modes in FY2025, driven primarily by shipments from sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and express cargo. The company attributed this shift to customers prioritising speed, reliability, and certainty, particularly as global supply chain uncertainty intensified due to Red Sea route diversions, prompting shippers to opt for faster alternatives.
Sea freight also posted growth during the year, supported by stable export and import volumes through Indian ports. Meanwhile, road freight continued to dominate domestic logistics, accounting for over 70 per cent of inland cargo movement. However, the segment faced challenges from route elongation, rising operating costs, and freight rate volatility.
To manage disruptions, Jeena & Company said it focused on route diversification, strengthened coordination with global carrier partners, and enhanced scenario planning. The company also expanded its use of digital tools to provide real-time shipment visibility, predictive disruption alerts, and improved customer communication.
Commenting on the performance, Prediman Koul, Chief Executive Officer, Jeena & Company , said, “2025 reinforced the importance of agility and preparedness in logistics. While geopolitical disruptions created volatility, as trusted partners we ensured continuity for our customers through multimodal flexibility, technology adoption, and strategic investments. Air cargo, in particular, played a critical role in supporting customers during periods of heightened uncertainty.”
Looking ahead, Koul said the company remains optimistic about growth opportunities in 2026, supported by expanding trade activity, policy-led infrastructure development, and rising demand from sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and defence.
Founded in 1900, Jeena & Company operates across 60 countries with 27 offices in India, offering air and sea freight services, last-mile delivery, warehousing, customs clearance, and documentation. The company said its recent expansion into Sydney forms part of its strategy to strengthen its global footprint across the UK, Europe, the US, Africa, Germany, China, and New Zealand.
