City Logistics Plan
The Chief Minister stated that the Delhi City Logistics Plan is ready and will be notified soon. This plan aims to streamline freight movement, reduce congestion, and improve last-mile connectivity. It includes measures such as designated truck routes, night-time delivery windows, and improved warehousing facilities.
The plan is expected to reduce logistics costs, enhance supply chain efficiency, and support the city's economic growth. It also aligns with the central government's vision of making India a global logistics hub.
