The programmatic approach comprises two subprograms, which aim to expand India\u2019s manufacturing sector and improve the resilience of its supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>The program establishes and operationalizes a comprehensive policy framework to enhance logistics efficiency through (i) strengthening the institutional bases for multimodal logistics infrastructure development at the national, state, and city levels; (ii) standardizing warehousing and other logistics assets to strengthen supply chains and incentivize greater private sector investment; (iii) improving efficiencies in external trade logistics; and (iv) adopting smart systems for efficient and low emission logistics.<\/p>\n<p>The development of India\u2019s logistics sector is vital to enhancing the competitiveness of its manufacturing sector. Through strategic policy reforms, infrastructure development, and digital integration, ongoing reforms are poised to transform the logistics landscape. This transformation is expected to reduce costs, improve efficiency, generate substantial employment opportunities, and promote gender inclusion\u2014driving sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between the Government of India and ADB reflects a shared commitment to fostering growth and innovation in the logistics sector, supporting India\u2019s broader economic development goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi, Dec 20 The Government of India and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) today signed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":71,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,7,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-international","category-national"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
