VRL Logistics carries the highest return on equity of the group, while Container Corporation of India is a large PSU rail logistics operator. This gap between valuation and profitability is why these logistics stocks stand out on a simple sector screen, though a formal buy rating needs deeper company specific research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>India&#8217;s logistics industry spans road transport, rail container movement and express parcel delivery, with freight volumes closely tied to industrial output and e-commerce growth. Not every stock in the space trades at the same multiple. A screen of listed logistics stocks against their sector average price to earnings ratios surfaces three names still priced below that benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>VRL Logistics, Container Corporation of India and TCI Express all currently trade below their respective industry PE benchmarks, despite posting positive return on equity. This piece breaks down why each stock screens as undervalued, what the underlying financials show, and the risks that come with owning logistics operators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:
