Tamil Nadu Retains ‘Achiever’ Status in Logistics Infra Rankings of States (6)
A Look at LEADS
The Ministry of Commerce and Industries started LEADS in 2018. It has since become an important way to measure how well Indian states and Union Territories handle transportation.
They are ranked based on three main factors: infrastructure, services, and the business and regulatory climate. Each state is put into a category based on its location, such as whether it is isolated, coastal, in the northeast, or a Union Territory.
Tamil Nadu’s Logistics Win
There have been many state-led efforts that have helped Tamil Nadu do very well in logistics and infrastructure.
The state has been working on better first- and last-mile connectivity, building multi-modal logistics parks (MMLPs), and making a lot of other improvements to logistics infrastructure.
The success shows how well Tamil Nadu’s strategic planning and execution worked to create a strong logistics environment.
Improvements to the infrastructure
One of the main reasons Tamil Nadu did so well in LEADS 2023 was its dedication to making logistics facilities better. The state has put money into projects to improve connectivity in the first and last miles.
This will make moving things easier and faster. Multi-modal logistics parks (MMLPs) have been very important in making integrated hubs that make it easier for things to move between different types of transportation.
Excellence in Logistics Services
Tamil Nadu is very good at logistics, and not just when it comes to infrastructure. The state is also very good at offering high-quality logistics services.
It has done better than average compared to other coastal states because it focuses on improving transportation and providing quick and helpful services.
The state’s dedication to providing excellent logistics services shows that it wants to create a setting that is good for business and trade.
The business and government environment
A key part of a successful logistics ecosystem is clear regulatory processes. Tamil Nadu’s LEADS success can be traced back to its dedication to keeping its governing environment open and business-friendly.
The state has taken the initiative to make sure that its rules are in line with what the industry needs. This has created an atmosphere that encourages investment and growth in the logistics sector.
