The logistics sector is a key enabler of economic growth, trade, and competitiveness. This
edition will focus on the role of Indian states and cities in creating a robust, efficient, and
sustainable goods logistics ecosystem.
As India aims to become a $5 trillion economy, the logistics sector must evolve to support
the growing demands of trade, e-commerce, and manufacturing. States and cities are
the building blocks of this transformation, as they are the hubs of economic activity and
gateways for domestic and international trade. By empowering states and cities with the
right policies, infrastructure, and technology, India can unlock the full potential of its
logistics sector, driving economic growth and improving the ease of doing business.
With the central government's National Logistics Policy (NLP) and PM Gati Shakti
initiative providing a strong framework, states and cities must now take proactive steps
to implement localized strategies, improve infrastructure, and foster innovation. This
summit will emphasize actionable insights, policy alignment, and best practices to
empower states and cities in becoming logistics hubs.
The summit will provide a platform for policymakers, industry leaders, and urban
planners to collaborate, share best practices, and develop solutions tailored to the
unique needs of India's diverse regions.
