Darshan Ghodawat, CEO and Managing Director of AVA Global Logistics Pvt. Ltd., has emphasized the need for targeted investments and policy measures in the Union Budget 2025-26 to address critical challenges in India’s logistics sector.
“When we compare India and the global average of logistics costs, we stand significantly higher. Targeted investments in infrastructure development and multi-modal logistics parks can have a transformative impact on enhancing the competitiveness of Indian goods globally,” Ghodawat stated. He also highlighted the importance of modernizing the transportation network as outlined in the National Logistics Policy and stressed the need for measures to incentivize green logistics and technology adoption.
Skill development among logistics professionals to navigate the evolving digital landscape was another key expectation. “A holistic approach to bridging infrastructure gaps and encouraging innovation will keep logistics costs in check while also positioning India as a key player in the global supply chain,” Ghodawat added.
