Assam Approves New Logistics Policy to Boost Northeast Trade

Key measures include developing integrated logistics parks and modern warehousing zones, expanding multimodal connectivity across road, rail, air, and waterways, simplifying approvals through single-window clearances, and offering incentives for cold chains and distribution networks.

The initiative supports sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and exports, while leveraging Assam’s role as a gateway to neighbouring countries. The government expects faster cargo movement, lower logistics costs, increased investment, and job creation, reinforcing Assam’s regional trade hub ambitions.
