New Delhi - India has reduced logistics costs by six percentage points from 16% to 10% of GDP, thanks to sustained investment in road infrastructure, senior officials from the transport ministry stated on Monday. They attribute the savings to upgraded highways, smoother traffic flow, and streamlined freight movement, heralding a major leap for the nation’s export competitiveness and alignment with global sustainability and economic growth targets.

Ministry insiders emphasised that this logistics cost drop is a critical component of India’s broader strategy to bolster its aspiration of becoming a “Vishwa Guru” and emerging as the world . . .
