KEY POINTS
· A recent paper by IMF on ‘Road Quality and Mean Speed Score’ ranked India 127th among 162 countries in terms of road transport speed.
· PM Gati Shakti Master Plan provides a comprehensive database of ongoing and future projects of Infrastructure Ministries of Centre and States.
· One of the main themes of Gati Shakti is multi-modal connectivity. It aims at seamless integration of systems and policies alongside efficient project management.
· For instance, NHAI being responsible for the roads till district headquarters, State PWD or Rural Development Department comes into the picture thereafter and BRO looks after border areas.
· Gati Shakti will help in the coordinated completion of roads at the same time, thereby providing seamless connectivity and opening various opportunities.
· Combining ULIP Data with AI and ML tools can lead to a prediction of trends and evidence-based intervention can be done both by government and private entities.
· The Indian logistics industry is still largely disorganised and fragmented and suffers from a skewed intermodal mix. For instance, in 2020, Rail’s share stood at merely 18 per cent as compared to Road’s share of 71 per cent.
· It is expected that pieces of the Indian logistical puzzle will fall in right place to make India globally competitive.
