National Logistics Policy (NLP)

Our country is changing and so are the business dynamics. With each new policy that is introduced, businesses move forward and adapt accordingly. The recently proposed National Logistics Policy is no different.

Aimed at creating a single window e-logistics market, NLP is already praised by the industry leaders as an important milestone in redefining India’s logistics & supply chain fulfillment strategy. A smooth logistical operation is highly critical for manufacturers in maintaining competitiveness, managing time and enabling faster and effective Supply Chains resulting in exceptional assembly lines across major sectors of Indian manufacturers.

The programme aims to ensure that logistical problems are minimized, exports increase significantly, and small businesses and the people who work in them gain profit. All this will augment the economy in various ways like employment generation, inter-state, and international exchange of goods. This policy move will bring India closer to becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse and pave its way to becoming a logistics hub.

The NLP’s transformational capacities further increase when combined with previous connectivity and infrastructure improvement programs like:

• The Gati Shakti Programme’s goal is to implement infrastructure connectivity, including roadways and railways projects across the nation, in a coordinated manner.
• The Sagarmala – envisions using the potential of the coastline and waterways to reduce the amount of infrastructure needed to reach their targets.
• The Bharatmala – focuses on reducing critical infrastructure gaps to increase the effectiveness of road traffic circulation across the nation.

The above core initiatives will help create a single window e-marketplace as a one-stop shop for relevant knowledge and information exchange that can ease logistics facilitation matters in the country.

There have been some noteworthy changes in the Indian ports already, as the capacity of Indian ports has increased significantly, and the average turnaround time for cargo ships has decreased by 18 hours. Forty air cargo ports have been built to increase exports, and thirty airports have been equipped with cold storage facilities. There will soon be 35 multi-modal hubs nationwide, enabling seamless freight movement. The development of waterways is a direct response to the pressing need for environmentally friendly and cost-effective transportation alternatives
