India's Madhya Pradesh state unveils Logistics Policy-2025

Announcing this, chief minister Mohan Yadav said it will strengthen the state’s economy and attract investors participating in the ‘Global Investors’ Summit’ (GIS), scheduled to be organised in Bhopal on February 24-25.

To ensure effective implementation of the policy, the state government is focusing on reducing port turnaround time and introducing a PCS-One system for e-delivery orders, making logistics processes more streamlined and transparent, the chief minister informed.

Innovations like RFID doors would enhance security and expedite the movement of goods, while the inclusion of a Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) would facilitate seamless data exchange across the logistics value chain, he was cited as saying by media reports from the state.

To develop infrastructure suitable for domestic and international logistics, the state government is establishing over 20 cargo terminals, he noted.

To enhance the state’s export capacity, the policy includes provisions for the development of export parks, where developers will receive cent per cent reimbursement on stamp duty and registration fees, financial assistance up to ₹400 million or 50 per cent per acre for infrastructure development, and up to 25 per cent or ₹250 million financial aid for establishing common pre-processing facilities for exporters.

The policy also promotes green industrialisation by encouraging zero-liquid discharge waste management systems and centralised waste management systems, with a 50 per cent reimbursement incentive.
