New Delhi, Sept 17 (KNN) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the National Logistics Policy (NLP) today at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

The upcoming National Logistics Policy is a comprehensive effort to address issues of high cost and inefficiency by laying down an overarching interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and multi-jurisdictional framework for the development of the entire logistics ecosystem.

This will help improve the competitiveness of Indian goods in domestic and export markets. It will also help in increasing employment opportunities.

The central government since 2014 has put a lot of emphasis on improving both Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living.

The NLP to be launched is in sync with the country’s vision of developing a world-class modern infrastructure through the integration of all stakeholders in holistic planning and implementation so that efficiency and synergy are achieved in the execution of the project.

The PM GatiShakti - National Master Plan for muti-modal connectivity - launched by the Prime Minister last year, was a pioneering step in this direction. PM GatiShakti will get further boost and complementarity with the launch of the National Logistics Policy.  (KNN Bureau)
