Quote by: Mr. Nikhil Agarwal, President, CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd

“The upcoming Union Budget has the potential to boost India’s economic growth by addressing key areas focusing on the logistics infrastructure. To further strengthen the industrial base, we hope for implementation of imperative policies aimed at advancing the manufacturing, technology and logistics sectors.

CJ Darcl envisions this budget to be a turning point for the logistics sector. We believe that continued allocation in multimodal transport systems and the development of inland waterways are vital for establishing resilient and efficient supply chains. As sustainability takes center stage, we expect the implementation of advanced policies that endorse green technologies and promote the integration of electric vehicles within the commercial fleet, utilisation of alternative fuel sources & renewable energy infrastructures enhancements, and subsidies/incentives for adopting sustainable operational methodologies. These measures can accelerate India’s journey to become a global manufacturing hub.

Additionally, we expect the government to launch programs for workforce development driven via skill development programmes targeting developing industries and expanded training centers for logistics professionals. This budget is an opportunity to strengthen India’s reputation as a strong economy that balances growth with inclusion, innovation and sustainability.”
