The cargo and logistics industry has urged the government to introduce simplified regulations and step up infrastructure investment in the upcoming budget to enhance efficiency and competitiveness.
Industry representatives highlighted the need for streamlined customs procedures, easier compliance norms, and faster clearances to reduce delays and costs in freight movement. They also called for greater investment in logistics infrastructure, including ports, inland waterways, cold chains, and last-mile connectivity, to support the growing volume of cargo and bolster India’s trade potential.
Stakeholders noted that policy reforms and infrastructure upgrades are critical to attracting private investment, improving supply chain resilience, and boosting India’s position in global trade. With rising demand for seamless and cost-effective freight services, the industry believes that targeted budgetary measures could provide a significant push to the sector.
