National Logistics Policy

Picture a business that spends an unusually large share of every rupee of revenue simply moving its product from factory to customer, far more than competitors in other countries spend on the identical task. That has historically been India's reality at a national level, logistics costs eating into competitiveness across almost every industry.

The National Logistics Policy is a framework aimed squarely at bringing India's logistics cost down as a share of GDP, by improving coordination between different transport modes, digitising documentation and tracking, and building better integrated infrastructure like multimodal logistics parks. It works closely alongside PM Gati Shakti, using that same unified digital map as the planning backbone for logistics specific interventions.

For a manufacturer or exporter, the practical promise of the National Logistics Policy is fewer delays, less paperwork friction, and cheaper freight movement over time, all of which directly improve how competitively an Indian made product can be priced against imports or against exports from other countries.
