As the government prioritises the development of sustainable transportation solutions, it underscores its commitment to fostering growth and innovation in key sectors such as warehousing and logistics. The budget's initiatives aim to create a conducive environment for the adoption of EVs, thereby propelling India towards a greener and more efficient logistics ecosystem.
