DPIIT Finalizes Logistics Plans

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has finalized model City Logistics Plans (CLPs) for Delhi and Bengaluru to improve urban freight efficiency and reduce logistics costs. These plans aim to address urban congestion, pollution, and freight inefficiencies, contributing to better quality of life and aligning with India's Net Zero carbon target by 2070.

Key Highlights: Government Collaboration: Supported by the Delhi and Karnataka governments, the plans serve as adaptable frameworks for cities nationwide. Indo-German Partnership: Developed under the Indo-German Green Freight Project, the plans adopt global best practices with the help of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Guidelines for Other Cities: Insights from Delhi and Bengaluru have informed guidelines enabling other cities to design efficient logistics ecosystems. Objectives: Reduce Congestion and Pollution: Mitigate urban traffic challenges while promoting environmental sustainability. Enhance Freight Efficiency: Streamline first- and last-mile freight logistics for cost savings. Ease of Doing Business: Align urban freight systems with India's economic and sustainability goals. Statement from DPIIT: Rajeev Singh Thakur, Additional Secretary at DPIIT, emphasized the collaborative nature of the initiative: "It is a model plan that can be tailored by any city. It provides a theoretical focus on logistics, guiding urban freight improvement efforts."

A Broader Vision: The CLPs reflect the National Logistics Policy (2022), advancing India's freight management strategy. These plans underscore India's commitment to integrating sustainable logistics within urban mobility frameworks, paving the way for cleaner, more efficient cities.
