Prime Minister Modi says National Logistics Policy aims to bring down Industrial product transportation cost to single digit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the National Logistics Policy yesterday at a function in New Delhi. He said the Policy is aimed at bringing down the cost of transportation of industrial products to a single digit, and the time consumed. Mr Modi said the Policy is a significant step in the direction of India becoming a developed country.

The Prime Minister said the National Logistics Policy will prevent damage to agricultural products by providing faster transportation. He said various road projects, such as Bharatmala and Sagarmala, were launched by him after becoming the Prime Minister to improve connectivity. He said, speeding up the work of the dedicated freight corridor is also a move in that direction.

The Prime Minister said, the Unified Logistics Interface Platform will bring all digital services related to the transportation sector into a single portal, freeing the exporters from a host of very long and cumbersome processes. Similarly, under the policy, a new digital platform – Ease of Logistics Services – has also been started.
