____________

ANNEXURE-'A' Abbreviations

The importance of the logistics sector in servicing core sectors propelling India's economic development has never been greater. Logistics is a vital aspect of growth; a well-run logistics industry has an impact on a country's overall competitiveness and economic development. In 2021, India's logistics sector was projected to be valued at USD 150 billion, making it a key enabler in the country's ambition of becoming a USD 5 trillion economy. Organizations around the world are looking at India as unified manufacturing hub and a market serviced through a responsive, efficient, and cost-effective logistics services. Hence emphasis on developing strong logistics sector will be the backbone of India's ambitions to become a manufacturing superpower.

Despite the launch of major mega logistics infrastructure projects in recent years, India plummeted to 44th place in the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (LPI) 2018, down from 35th place in 2016. To close the gaps in the logistics ecosystem, a holistic strategy will be required. Multiple issues plague the sector today, including last mile and capacity deficiencies, a lack of digital integration among stakeholders, a shortage of skilled manpower and slow adoption of technology.

Infrastructure:

It is one of the most significant roadblocks to the logistics sector's expansion. It manifests itself in insufficient and low-quality multi-modal and terminal transportation infrastructure, a suboptimal modal mix, inefficient and ill-designed cargo and container storage facilities, inefficient operations and maintenance routines, and poor technology adoption/adaptation. As a result, freight transit times are long and non-reliable, resources are wasted, and fleet management is poor. The majority of investment is in typical warehouses that are used for storage with single-user facilities and have an average size of less than 10,000 sq. ft.¹ and a height of 3 to 4 meters. Since the mode of transport, as well as storage and terminal handling methods, are rarely linked to cargo characteristics, high-cost modes such as roads are overused at the expense of cost-effective and sustainable modes such as inland waterways and railways.

Skill Development:

Although India has a demographic advantage, the logistics sector's supply of adequately skilled workers remains a concern because it is still considered an auxiliary rather than a mainline industry. It is not a favoured choice among professional employees due to the disorganized nature of the industry, which is characterized by poor working conditions and low pay scale.

Regulatory Hurdles:

Obstacles in land acquisition and consolidation, as well as changes in land usage remain key roadblocks. The sector's troubles are exacerbated by a lack of openness in compliance.

Adoption of Technology:

Another major stumbling block has been the slow acceptance of new technology. There is a lack of understanding of the economic benefits of employing digital technology, and collaboration among stakeholders is lacking. As a result, the logistics ecosystem is riddled with inefficiencies and underutilized assets. Inadequate technical understanding and a lack of technology systems exacerbate the problem.

PM GatiShakti National Master Plan :

A national multi-modal connectivity plan that brings together multiple ministries like railways, roads, and shipping to plan and implement infrastructure connectivity projects in a coordinated and integrated approach. It will represent all economic zones as well as the infrastructure necessary to support them, with the intent of holistically unifying all multimodal connectivity developments and empowering central and state stakeholders to overcome gaps in the movement of people, goods, and services.

Below is the list of mandatory layers which need to be uploaded on the PM GatiShakti portal by every state and UT to synergize future infrastructure projects in the state in line with the vision of a holistic countrywide development plan.

National Logistics Policy:

The Government of India is framing a National Logistics Policy to promote the seamless movement of goods across the country. The policy will be a multi-jurisdictional mechanism that will cut across silos by integrating policies, schemes, and legal frameworks from various ministries/departments, contributing to PM GatiShakti's vision. The strategy would concentrate on several issues, including the development of multimodal logistics infrastructure, digitization, and process reengineering, among others.

LEADS (Logistics Ease Across Different States) :

A Pan-India annual survey involving feedback from stakeholders (such as traders/shippers, exporters/importers, freight forwarders, transporters, logistics & supply chain service providers, etc.) to rank States & UTs on their ability to facilitate logistics and suggest action points for improvement.

Himachal Pradesh has been ranked 20th in the LEADS report for the year 2021 which was an improvement from the 22nd position secured in the LEADS 2019.

The state's continued focus on infrastructure, measures to increase the Ease of Doing Business, and numerous fiscal incentives granted under the state Industrial Investment Policy have all contributed to the state's improved standing in the study.

In January 2021, a country-wide conference with States and UTs was held with the primary goal of integrating the logistics sector, wherein stakeholders across the ecosystem would work together and in harmony to help bolster the logistics sector and make India a competitive destination and manufacturing hub. LEADS, Smart Enforcement, Warehousing, City Logistics and Driver Empowerment and Employment, Green and Clean Logistics, and others are amongst the conference's main subjects. Sates were expected to adopt the best practices prevalent across country to promote logistics services.

Focus areas to improve the logistics sector in the States:

The Hon'ble Minister of Commerce and Industry wrote a letter to the States and UTs outlining measures that States might take to improve logistics and convenience of life. The letter highlighted 18 areas for integrated logistics growth, including efforts to connect production and consumption centers, decongest metropolitan areas, move toward a minimal inspection ecosystem, increase first- and last-mile connectivity, and so on.

Bharatmala:

The Bharatmala Pariyojana project envisages the development of about 26,000 km length of roads through 50 new economic corridors connecting 550 districts nationally. The project aims to improve logistics efficiency by eliminating chokepoints on existing corridors and developing Multi-Modal Logistics Parks across strategic locations to reduce the logistics cost of freight.

Parvatmala:

Another connectivity project envisioned by the GOI for the development of ropeways in hilly areas to encourage tourism and encourage an efficient and safe alternate transport network. It is also eco-friendly compared to other transport modes and especially for ecologically sensitive mountainous regions.

Sagarmala:

Another ambitious plan is to develop and link India's vast coastline and hitherto underutilized inland waterways to reduce dependence on a single mode of transportation.

2. Himachal Pradesh:

Himachal Pradesh is the northernmost state of India and shares borders with the union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh to the north, and the states of Punjab to the west, Haryana to the southwest, Uttarakhand to the southeast and a very narrow border with Uttar Pradesh to the south. The state also shares an international border to the east with the Tibet Autonomous Region in China.

Himachal Pradesh is India's Fruit Bowl and ranks 2nd in Apple and Almond production². It is also Asia's second-largest pharmaceutical hub. Himachal Pradesh is also the country's biggest fruit grower. It is also the first state in the country to create SWAN (State Wide Area Network) for e-governance and the first state to successfully implement 'e-samadhan' for redressal of public concerns. Himachal Pradesh is placed first in the Northern states and third overall in the country on the HDI Index, as well as first among Indian states in terms of UN Sustainable Goals. PHD1954 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 21 जून 2022/31 ज्येष्ठ, 1944 Chamber of Commerce has ranked Himachal Pradesh as the most consumer-friendly state in India. In addition to being one of the fastest-growing states in terms of Ease of Doing Business, it is also India's least corrupt state according to the CMS – India Corruption Study 2017. Himachal Pradesh has been ranked first among the Hill States in terms of human resource development and public infrastructure.

The harsh climatic circumstances, as well as topographical and geographical severities, pose hurdles to the industrialization process. In such a setting incentives and subsidies, as well as the development of necessary infrastructure, become the primary instruments for attracting industrial investment into the state. The State has been able to compensate for the drawbacks of location and geography to a large extent by investing heavily in infrastructure. Factors such as low-cost, high- quality power, amicable labour relations, low-cost land and a clean environment, investor-friendly administration, enticing incentives and tax breaks, and proximity to Northern markets all contribute to the State's thriving investment climate which has helped its growth to remain at par with the national growth rate and also score higher ranking in development indicators.

The state has implemented the Himachal Pradesh Industrial Investment Policy 2019, as well as the State Mission on Food Processing and Energy Policy 2021, with the goal of encouraging private businesses to set up industrial enterprises in the state, which will require a robust logistics network, which this policy aims to provide.

Implement Automatics Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR) to eliminate unwarranted physical checks and implement an e-Challan system across the state.

Equip Interceptors/Flying squads with SMART wearables like body cameras with video recording capabilities for better enforcement across the state.

8.6 Regulatory Support:

For enhanced convenience and transparency, the State shall develop an approval mechanism of creating a common application form for setting up units in the logistics sector in the present single window clearance setup.

According to the aforesaid rule, the logistics sector may be presented with a comprehensive list of services that can be notified with specified timeframes ranging from one day to sixty days for Deemed Approval.

The State shall earmark upto 20% dedicated land for development of logistics facilities including warehouses, truck terminals etc. for captive use in upcoming industrial areas in the state up to a maximum of 10 acres to aid in the holistic development of the logistics sector.

The state has accorded the logistics industry "Infrastructure Status" to make it simpler for the sector to obtain substantial sums of money in the form of External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) with a longer term to account for the prolonged gestation period for infrastructure projects.

Under this policy warehouses, Logistics Parks, ICDs/CFSs, MMLPs, PM GatiShakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminals, Air Freight Stations, Private Freight Terminals, Cold Chain Facilities, Processing Centres and Truck Terminals are granted "Industry" status.

The state shall endeavour to accord the non-polluting Warehousing sub-sectors "White Status" to facilitate approvals and eliminate the need for Consent to Establish / Consent to Operate.

It will be the state's goal to build key logistics hubs that can handle freight from the state's higher reaches, particularly agricultural and horticulture products to support first mile connectivity. Shoghi in the Shimla district, Sauli Khad in the Mandi district, and Pandoga in the Una district are all potential locations for such logistical hubs.

The State shall provide incentives for setting up primary processing centres to facilitate the vast Agro-industry in the state.

9. Incentives:

In the State's endeavour to create a welcoming environment for investments into the logistics sector and to attract specialized private logistics players to Himachal Pradesh, fiscal incentives being provided for eligible activities in Himachal Pradesh Industrial Investment Policy 2019, State Mission on Food Processing and Energy Policy 2021 would be extended to the logistics sector.
