Logistics Development Committee to Suggest Reforms in Logistics Development

  • Logistics Development Committee constituted under the Chairmanship of Dr. Bibek Debroy (Chairman EAC-PM) to assess key challenges, and suggest reforms in logistics development and associated commerce.
  • Composition: Other than Chairmanship of Dr. Bibek Debroy, the Committee included Secretaries and heads of the concerned departments/ministries such as Revenue, Commerce, Logistics, DIPP, Civil Aviation, Shipping, Road Transport & Highways, Railways, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) etc.
  • Vision: The Committee’s report is being submitted to the Government for consideration. It is hoped that implementation of the proposed agenda will push India’s share in global trade and make India one of the simplest places for doing business in the near term. The reform agenda comprises a number of specific policy actions covering the entire logistics value chain and:

  1. is designed to fundamentally re-engineer the existing business processes of the government;
  2. is intended to facilitate an integrated “whole of the trade value chain” approach; and
  3. proposes a new institutional framework to leverage co-operation from all stakeholders towards a common shared goal of transforming this space.
