“Four key levers for enhancing India’s global competitiveness continue to be:
1. Simplifying customs and tax regulations
2. Making compliance process easier and more cost-effective
3. Improving infrastructure and resources for seamless logistics
4. Moving to a trust-based regulatory environment.
All four could help reduce the cost of logistics and should remain key focus areas in the upcoming budget.
The continued push for multi-modal infrastructure under the National Logistics Policy remains critical not just for the economy, but also to support India’s growing export ambitions.
Sustainability is emerging as a core priority for international trade as well, and express logistics players are focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of SAF.
We look forward to working closely with our customers and policymakers in the government to achieve India’s ambitions for export- and manufacturing-led growth.”
