Delhi Nears Rollout of AI-Led Logistics Policy to Ease Freight Congestion

The package signals a drive for faster, cleaner freight across the capital.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, speaking Wednesday, said Delhi is in the final stage of a logistics and warehousing policy that builds peripheral hubs to ease freight traffic.
  • The policy uses AI tools and the Unified Logistics Interface Platform for real-time tracking to plan routes and speed deliveries.
  • It also calls for modernising inland container depots, laying dedicated logistics corridors, adding truck terminals and parking hubs, and placing cold storage near mandis.
  • To draw private projects, the package offers a capital subsidy up to 50% capped at ₹50 crore along with interest and electricity concessions and training support up to ₹5,000 per worker.
  • A single-window system would streamline permits and allow round-the-clock operations across warehousing and logistics.
