Arunachal cabinet approves logistics policy aligned with PM Gati Shakti for integrated development by 2047
Logistics Policy in alignment with the PM Gati Shakti Framework.
The Policy has aimed to “Augment integrated, multi-modal, logistics ecosystem for a ‘Developed Arunachal Pradesh 2047”’.
Logistics has been a focus sector for the country for some time. In 2021, the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan was launched to provide multimodal connectivity infrastructure to economic zones.
In 2022, the National Logistics Policy was launched with focus on bringing in efficiency and reduce costs.
In the 2022 annual report on Logistics Ease Across Different States (LEADS), Arunachal ranks in the 'Aspirer' category, behind the ‘Fast Mover’ and ‘Achiever’ categories, stating a clear need to have a policy intervention for improvements in the logistics sector.
The Cabinet, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Pema Khandu, took cognizance of the recent improvements in connectivity infrastructure and the growth opportunities it presents. The Policy aims to bring all connectivity projects under one umbrella.
