Delhi’s War on Congestion: New Logistics Policy Aims for Cleaner, Faster Freight
The Delhi government is set to unveil its ambitious Logistics and Warehousing Policy-2025, a significant step towards tackling the city’s chronic traffic woes and reducing harmful emissions. The policy, currently in its final stages, focuses on strategic relocation of warehouses and consolidation of freight movement.
A key component involves a large-scale shift towards electric and CNG vehicles for last-mile deliveries. This transition aims to significantly lower the city’s carbon footprint and improve air quality.
Before final implementation, the Delhi government will actively solicit public feedback to ensure the policy’s effectiveness and address any potential concerns. This participatory approach underscores the government’s commitment to a transparent and inclusive policy-making process.
The policy’s success hinges on streamlining freight movement and easing the operational burden on businesses. Efficient logistics are crucial for Delhi’s economic growth, and this initiative promises a significant boost to the city’s competitiveness. The impact on Delhi’s notoriously congested roads and polluted air will be keenly observed in the coming months.
