THE FOCUS on infrastructure as a prerequisite of development is several
decades old, but logistics has received attention only recently. Logistics
involves an ‘ecosystem’ that interlinks several sectors and industries. In
her Budget speech, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had
proposed a National Logistics Policy (NLP) that would not only create
a single window e-logistics market, but also focus on generation of
employment and skills and uplift MSMEs. Unveiling the policy in New
Delhi on 17 September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the
National Logistics Policy as a significant step in fulfilling India’s ‘pran’
(resolve) of becoming a developed country. “To ensure quick last-mile
delivery, end transport-related challenges, save time and money of the
manufacturers, prevent wastage of the agro-products, concerted efforts
were made and one of the manifestations of those efforts is today’s National
Logistics Policy,” the Prime Minister said.

Budget Ruminations: How to Disburse Subsidies
Although the statistics of the Income-tax department in our country show that the number of taxpayers on its rolls has now increased to more than 84 million, only 1.13 per cent of our population about 15 million) actually pay tax. The rest get away by claiming deductions which reduce their incomes below the exemption limit. So one major challenge before the present government is to find ways to make more people make the fiscal connection between taxes and public spending. This is possible only if more people from the middle class begin to pay taxes
