MAHARASHTRA LOGISTICS POLICY 2024

The Industry, Energy and Labour Department of the Government of Maharashtra vide its Resolution dated August 26, 2024 bearing number MahaInd- 2023/C.R.223/Ind-2 has introduced the Maharashtra Logistics Policy 2024 (“MLP 2024”).

The Government of Maharashtra believes that MLP 2024 will play a key role in obtaining its goal of achieving a US$ 1 trillion Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) by 2028 and the MLP 2024 has been prepared for promoting the logistics sector in alignment with the National Logistics Policy.

The Government of Maharashtra aims to connect all the districts within the State by setting up 4 lane roads, expanding the capacity of the existing railway lines by converting single lines to double lines, development of airports in a phased manner in various districts and setting up various seaports. Further the State aims to set-up 5 new Inland Container Depots in order to reduce the cost of logistics.

The MLP 2024 promotes the use of technology to increase the efficiency and reduction of the costs of the logistics. In order to achieve this the MLP 2024 recommends the use of (i) Blockchain for ensuring the authenticity of data and protection from unauthorized access and tampering and (ii) Artificial Intelligence to ensure route optimization and efficient use of resources by predicting future de- mand. Further, in order to create a sustainable environment, the MLP 2024 provides for setting up of Green Logistics Parks along with the linked incentives as mentioned under the Maharashtra E-Vehicle Policy, 2021.

SETTING-UP OF LOGISTICS PARKS

The Government of Maharashtra has proposed the Maharashtra Integrated Logistics Master Plan and aims to set up the logistics hubs in various district as follows:
