‘State-wise logistics plans to boost India’s economic growth’

Amitava Bakshi, President, Association of Supply Chain Professionals (ASCP) said, “State-specific logistics plans, aligned with the National Logistics Policy, play a pivotal role in transforming India’s logistics landscape. By addressing regional needs and promoting sustainable practices, these initiatives contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth and development. As of September 2023, 22 states and Union Territories have notified their respective State Logistics Policies (SLPs), aligning with the National Logistics Policy (NLP) to bring a holistic focus on logistics at the state level. They will attract more investments in the states due to creation of conducive environment for logistics operation. It will also promote the use of cleaner fuel like LNG to reduce the carbon footprint of logistics operation.”
