The initiative lays out a project pipeline exceeding $21.6 billion for the period 2026-2047.
The priority areas include logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems.
The plans were officially launched during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conclave (VGRC) held in Rajkot, the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board announced on LinkedIn.
The Integrated Logistics Master Plan provides a long-term, multimodal framework aimed at enhancing efficiency across road, rail, port, air and warehousing networks.
The initiative is designed to reduce logistics costs, strengthen supply chain resilience and support the state’s growing industrial and export ecosystem, in line with national logistics reforms and the PM Gati Shakti initiative.
The CLPs aim at tackling urban freight challenges, including congestion, last-mile connectivity, land use optimisation and environmental sustainability.
City-specific interventions are planned to improve freight movement within municipal limits while ensuring smooth economic activity and better quality of life for residents.
The priority areas of the ILMP and CLPs include development of logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems; digital integration and data-driven logistics planning; and promotion of sustainable and low-emission logistics solutions.
