The Industry associations should participate on the E-logs platform and deliberate their issues to help Service Investment Group (SIG) address these issues on a fast track mode in line with the National Logistic Policy, DPIIT’s Special Secretary Sumita Dawra said on Thursday.
Under the national logistics policy, a new digital platform Ease of Logistics Services (e-logs) has been started. Through this portal, industry associations can directly take up issues which are causing problems in their operations and performance with government agencies.
During the meeting of SIG, major issues impacting the trade were resolved to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.
A bid to elicit pro-active participation of various business/ industry associations, on one hand, and instil enormous confidence amongst them, on the other, was the topmost agenda of the SIG.
Notably, as many as 29 industry/ business associations have been empanelled so far on the E-Log portal and provided with user ID and password to directly flag up their issues with the concerned line departments under different ministries for their expeditious resolution.
Major associations like Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Association of Multimodal Transport Operators of India (AMTOI), Container Shipping lines Association (CSLA), Indian National Shipowners Association (INSA) and Federation of Indian Export Association (FIEO) are few among the many such reputed industry associations from the logistics sector that are currently engaging with the SIG to redress the issues related to the trade.
