‘Investment in infra, PLI will boost logistics efficiency’

Yashpal Sharma, President, ACFI and MD, Skyways Group shares, “The stakeholders in the Logistics Service Providers segment are buoyant by the announcements of enhanced spendings in Infrastructure projects and PLI schemes that will boost manufacturing and eventually greater multi-modal transportation activity and we hope that a decent amount budgeted is spent on Air cargo infrastructure enhancement in the country too. Some Wishlist points were forwarded through MoCA in the pre-budget survey pertaining to exemption of GST on airfreight, compliance difficulty under ITR online filing of (Form 10F), Linking benefits under other products similar to Krishi Udaan would have definitely lifted the spirits in the entire airfreight industry. ACFI is appreciative of the Government’s vision to launch Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0. There is a huge need to skill the youth for international opportunities. Opening 30 Skill India International Centres across different States will be a big milestone.”
