Integration of industry, govt platforms can improve logistics: Piyush Goyal

Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal Friday called for a complete integration of industry stakeholders with government platforms to improve efficiency of the logistics sector.

At the ULIP Logistics Hackathon 2.0, he asked industry to focus on green logistics by following sustainable and green practices to cut carbon footprint in the sector.

"We have to adopt technology like electric mobility, biofuels, multimodal transport options to bring down overall carbon impact and make sustainability the core of our thinking," Goyal said. Emphasising on skill development, Goyal called for collaborations with institutions to train and build a future-ready workforce. He added that by using artificial intelligence and data analytics, "we can make sure there is no time and cost overrun".
