Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, unveiled a bold plan to significantly reduce India's logistics costs within the next 2-3 years, aiming for single-digit figures. By optimizing speed and efficiency, including expressways like Delhi-Mumbai and Chennai-Bengaluru, Gadkari believes India can bring down logistics expenses from the current 14-16 per cent to 9 per cent. This initiative is expected to attract more global trade and investment by making India a more cost-effective destination. Gadkari praised Amazon's efforts in developing an electric vehicle fleet and highlighted the government's commitment to reducing pollution through clean energy, such as his own transport in a bio-ethanol-powered Innova. Notably, he emphasized the potential of hydrogen as a future fuel, citing biomass and biodigester technologies for hydrogen and CNG production. Gadkari's vision sees India becoming a global leader in alternative and biofuels in the next decade through policy reforms and infrastructure development, positioning the country as a logistics powerhouse.
