Mohit K. Kapoor, Chair – Events Committee at Warehousing Association of India (WAI) shared his views on the Indian Logistics Industry and National Logistics Policy. He said, “Logistics is considered as the backbone of a country’s economic ecosystem and for the fastest growing market like India, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5 per cent, it was imperative to be given utmost importance to achieve the futuristic target of a $5 trillion economy, creating PM Narendra Modi’s #Atmanirbharbharat vision.
Despite enormous potential, the largely unorganized and highly fragmented Indian logistics sector was further hampered by a complicated and non-unified regulatory system that was impeding its desired and realistically possible growth.
The National Logistic Policy (NLP) is a comprehensive long-term plan designed to achieve international standard efficiency in services and bring down the high 12-14 % logistic costs to single digit before 2030, thus enabling a rank among the top 25 nations in Logistic Performance Index (LPI).
WAI, in its pursuit to create an inclusive and robust ecosystem for logistics, warehousing and supply chain industries is organizing an event titled, ‘National Logistics Policy – The road ahead for integrated best in class infrastructure development on 11 November 2022 at, The Oberoi with active participation from DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and industry stalwarts from across the globe, where the Handbook on Warehousing Standards will be released.
Enlisted are key points to make India a logistic hub:
• Seamless, resilient, cost-effective long term streamlined ecosystem
• Current multimodal connectivity accounting for roads 60%, railways 30 % and waterways 5% will be duly balanced
