The collaboration will undertake a data-driven
assessment of freight flows, logistics demand, and connectivity to key
infrastructure, including industrial corridors, rail networks, #highways,
#ports, and #airports, while also factoring in environmental and statutory
requirements across major commodity corridors. The study will also include
stakeholder consultations and data-based analysis to support practical and sustainable
planning.
Through this partnership, NICDC seeks to build an
efficient, integrated logistics ecosystem that lowers costs, improves supply
chain reliability, and strengthens India’s logistics network.
