National Logistics Policy

In progress (Extended)

Launched September 2022 · Infrastructure

Cut logistics costs to make Indian goods globally competitive, with data-driven decisions and seamless multi-modal movement.

What was promised

Logistics cost down from 13–14% of GDP to about 8% (single digits, the global benchmark) by 2030.
A top-25 rank in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index by 2030; India was 44th in 2018 and 38th in 2023.

Do not present "target already met" as settled fact. The 7.97% is a new official measurement, and the measurement change itself is recent.

November 2026

The old 13–14% figure was an estimate from partial and external data, not a systematic measurement: 13% of GDP for 2016 (Armstrong & Associates) and 10.9% of GVA in 2015 (AVALON for CII). The two numbers are not directly comparable.
November 2026

The LPI rank target is still in progress: 38th in 2023, against a top-25 goal by 2030.
FY 2023-24

A 2025 DPIIT–NCAER assessment, the first systematic measurement, puts logistics cost at 7.97% of GDP for FY2023-24 (₹24.01 lakh crore), already below the target, using a hybrid framework of 3,500+ industry stakeholders plus MOSPI, RBI, and GSTN data.
