NLDSL-NICDC Logistics Data Bank’s LDB Project has achieved a milestone of handling 50 million EXIM containers since its inception six years ago.

Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal congratulated the entire team of NLDSL for achieving the milestone.

LDB was conceived as one of the smart community projects between India and Japan during the initial stages of planning of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor project.
