Last week, the union cabinet approved the National Logistics Policy after a key meeting. The policy, which was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17, seeks to cut transportation costs by promoting the seamless movement of goods across the country.

Also, a unified logistics interface platform (ULIP) will be developed as part of the National Logistic Policy so that different government and private agencies, shippers, and service providers are able to exchange information on a real-time basis in a confidential manner. It is one of the eight interventions proposed under the comprehensive logistics action plan.
Other interventions include the standardisation of physical assets and benchmarking service quality standards; logistics human resources development and capacity building; state engagement; export-import logistics; service improvement framework; sectoral plan for efficient logistics; and facilitation of the development of logistics parks.
CNBC-TV18 spoke to Girish Wagh, executive director of Tata Motors; Peeyush Gupta, vice president of supply chain at Tata Steel; Saurabh Palsania, executive director at Dalmia Cement Bharat; VG Sakthikumar, managing director of Schwing Stetter India and Dipti Vaishnav, managing director of Lead-Industrial & Mobility at Accenture India to discuss the challenges and impact of the National Logistics Policy.
