Govt. must take initiatives to improve last-mile connectivity

Ketan Kulkarni – Managing Director – Gati Express and Supply Chain in his Pre-budget quote says – “Aligned with India’s ambitious vision of becoming a $7 trillion economy by 2030, Budget 2025 must prioritise rapid infrastructure development to enable the logistics and transportation sector to realise its full potential as a catalyst for economic progress and sustainable growth. We hope Budget 2025 will reflect the government’s commitment to continuity in reforms, stable decision-making, and progressive policies. Such measures can unlock industry potential by promoting breakthrough technological innovations, empowering start-ups to adapt to an evolving landscape, and bolstering the sector’s competitiveness and resilience. The industry anticipates bold initiatives aimed at improving last-mile connectivity and transformative reforms to strengthen the logistics and transportation ecosystem. A key expectation is the incentivisation of EV charging infrastructure, which is critical to driving sustainability through greater adoption of electric vehicles in logistics operations.”
