The Centre has prepared a 'City Logistics Plan' for metros such as Delhi and Bengaluru for efficient freight and logistics movement within the city, a senior official of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) said on Wednesday.
Efficient freight and logistics movement in turn will decongest large cities, reduce pollution, logistics costs, while improving the overall quality of life in cities, DPIIT Additional Secretary Rajeev Singh Thakur said.
