Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has said that the government's recent move to give infrastructure status to the logistics industry in India, will not only spur growth, but will also bring in more investments into this sector. Besides, it noted that that the logistics sector, which already offers over 17 million jobs, will grow at an even faster rate going forward and provide even higher employment opportunities than before.
In accordance with the CII, the logistics sector is still highly fragmented and has suffered from lack of investments and a proper recognition. Over the past few years, the industry group has been pursuing this issue with the government at various levels and ministries. It has welcomed the government's proactive step of setting up a logistics division under the Ministry of Commerce for integration of related sectors. Adding further, it stressed on need to facilitate credit flow into the sector with longer tenures and reasonable interest rates. It also explained that infrastructure status for the logistics sector can result in an integrated planning of logistics infrastructure and better utilisation of existing assets and resources with a focus on timely maintenance and upgradation.
Besides, K V Mahidhar, Head, CII Institute of Logistics, has stated that their institute will continue to work with both users and service providers to capitalise on opportunities and the thrust by the government to further improve the competitiveness of the logistics sector. He also expressed his hopes that subsequently, this can result in the enhancement of the logistics performance index of the country.
