20 Sep 2022 Evaluate

Welcoming the National Logistics Policy launched by the government, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) has said that the policy has the potential to significantly reduce costs, improve industry competitiveness, and along with Gati Shakti the resultant unified policy environment would substantially strengthen the logistics sector through optimum inter-ministry coordination and deployment of resources.

FICCI stated that combining the strengths of different modes of transport, adopting technology, and digitization will give a major fillip to the industry. The National Logistics Policy and the PM Gati Shakti would significantly help to reduce costs and augment competitiveness. The logistics policy is aimed at bringing down the logistic costs and improving the competitiveness of domestic goods in the global market.

It further said with PM Gati Shakti significantly boosting the pace of infrastructure development in the country, it is an opportune time for an integrated tech-enabled approach to logistic operations to bridge efficiency gaps and improve industry competitiveness. The focus on building an efficient multimodal transport mix, comprising 45 per cent of freight movement by road, 40 per cent by rail and 15 per cent through coastal shipping and inland waterways, in the National Logistics Policy is significant. It will reduce costs, but importantly, will help create jobs in the nascent opportunities like inland waterway.
