According to Abhik Mitra, MD and CEO, SpotOn Logistics, “The government’s dedicated effort towards allocating the highest ever CAPEX of 1.08 trillion to the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways are highly appreciative. We are glad that the government is further augmenting road infrastructure and planning new avenues for more economic corridors. With more than 13,000 km of roads awarded under Bharat Mala project and an addition of 11,000 km NH corridor by March 2022, it is going to strengthen the physical infrastructure sector and bring ground-breaking transformation in the logistics sector.”
“We also expected the government to bring fuel under the purview of GST which would have transformed the Indian logistics sector. Moving forward, we hope that the government will lay more focus on the increasing use of digital technologies and automation,” he adds.
