Mohit Kapoor, Chair – Projects and Events Committee, Warehousing Association of India (WAI) said, “The Indian logistics and infrastructure landscape is undergoing a remarkable transformation, thanks to the visionary initiatives under PM Gati Shakti and NLP. These programs, coupled with platforms like the LEADS & LEAPS are fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration across industries. Attending the National Logistics Awards Ceremony at Bharat Mandapam as a Jury Member for LEAPS awards was an inspiring experience, where we celebrated achievements in logistics and infrastructure development. The launch of two pivotal research studies during the event further highlighted the strides India is making in enabling seamless, efficient, and sustainable multimodal infrastructure.
Key positive impacts of all these initiatives include:
✅ Enhanced Multimodal Connectivity: PM Gati Shakti’s holistic approach ensures efficient integration of transport modes, driving down logistics costs and improving ease of doing business.
✅ Streamlined Supply Chains: With the National Logistics Policy, businesses experience reduced bottlenecks, faster movement of goods, and higher competitiveness.
✅ Recognition of Excellence: LEADS and LEAPES Awards provide a platform to honor trailblazers who are redefining industry standards, motivating others to strive for excellence.
✅ Driving Economic Growth: By empowering industries with robust infrastructure, India is steadily moving toward the vision of Make in India and Viksit Bharat.
As honorable Minister Shri Piyush Goyal stated these initiatives are not just about logistics; they are about creating a resilient and future-ready India. As stakeholders, let’s continue to innovate, collaborate, and contribute to this extraordinary journey of nation-building.
