This document discusses developments in the Indian logistics industry. It notes the need to identify logistics as a separate industry in India to better address sector issues. The government is bringing surface transport and shipping under one umbrella to improve coordination. Key priorities include reducing toll points, establishing a uniform sales tax, and improving warehouse facilities. The introduction of GST in 2016 is aimed at simplifying taxes and making the industry more competitive. Logistics parks are also seen as important for enabling faster delivery and reducing costs across the supply chain. The government has proposed investing Rs. 1 trillion in developing logistics parks and rail infrastructure.
