Gautham Raju, Air Freight Specialist said, “The logistics fraternity expects the upcoming Union Budget to deepen India’s cost competitiveness through sustained investments in multimodal logistics parks, air cargo infrastructure, port-led connectivity, and inland waterways. Accelerated digitalisation under the National Logistics Policy, paperless trade, and single-window clearances can materially reduce logistics costs to global benchmarks. Sector-specific incentives for manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and water re-treatment & environmental solutions will drive specialised cargo movement, including project cargo and temperature-controlled logistics. Policy support for fleet modernisation, green logistics, cargo-focused airline capacity, and cross-border e-commerce exports will be critical to strengthening India’s position as a reliable global supply chain hub.”
