‘Policies to enhance infra at regional airports must to facilitate EODB’

Sunil Kohli, Managing Director, Rahat Cargo asserts, “India is now seen as a vibrant country to offer various alternative for the global multinational companies for diversifying their manufacturing base, it’s therefore vital to have an accelerated development of logistics infrastructure coupled with favourable policy formulations which can play a dominant role in helping the country garner a larger share in the global manufacturing value chain and thus we must have fully equipped airports even in satellite towns to facilitate smooth air cargo export activities. The all-important logistics sector too needs a boost to have an overall growth in the related areas. We expect the government to set aside a strategic allocation of resources towards infrastructure. Also required is an emphasize of focus on digitization in the logistics sector to accelerate speed and ease of doing business. The government may also consider tax incentives & infrastructural subsidies and further needs to encourage the domestic manufacturing and prepare the logistics sector for service integration, growth in fulfilment logistics, and multi-modal transportation adoption apart from accelerating the digital infrastructure development to boost logistics efficiency and competitiveness in line with the vision and goals of National Logistics Policy.”
