DPIIT Commemorates 3rd Anniversary of National Logistics Policy (NLP), Driving Reforms in India’s Logistics Sector.

In September 2025, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoC&I) marked the third anniversary of the National Logistics Policy (NLP), originally launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 17th September 2022. Over the past three years, the policy has transformed India’s logistics sector through digitization, infrastructure development, and systemic reforms.

      - The NLP is closely aligned with the Pradhan Mantri Gati Shakti National Master Plan (PMGS-NMP), which integrates infrastructure development and network planning to build a modern, cost-efficient logistics ecosystem.

      - The policy aims to reduce India’s logistics costs, improve the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) ranking with the target of entering the top 25 countries by 2030, and establish a data-driven decision-support mechanism for efficiency in logistics.

      - NLP is implemented through the Comprehensive Logistics Action Plan (CLAP) by DPIIT, which lays down clear actions and timelines to achieve policy outcomes, ensuring accountability across stakeholders.

Main Point :-   (i) The Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) has enabled secure API integration across 30+ digital systems, recording 160 crore+ digital transactions by August 2025.

      (ii) Additionally, the Logistics Data Bank (LDB) has tracked 75 million EXIM containers across 101 Inland Container Depots (ICDs), providing single-window visibility and real-time container tracking.
