Karnataka will soon see a new logistics policy to address the high-cost concerns of industries. Addressing industrialists at the BCIC Manufacturing Conclave, Karnataka Commissioner for Industrial Development and Director Industries & Commerce, Government of Karnataka Gunjan Krishna, informed that a draft policy was in the making, said reports. “We have already drafted the logistics policy to enhance efficiency and reduce costs and are ready to place it before the state cabinet,” Krishna told in news reports. The policy aims to make it easy for anybody to operate a logistics business, warehousing and integrate technology. It will improve the ease of doing business in this sector, offering a single window clearance (for multiple aspects including pollution) and easy access to license.
