“The 2024 interim budget’s increased capital expenditure for infrastructure development is a strategic and commendable move. It promises to accelerate economic growth and positively impact the logistics sector. The emphasis on expanding air connectivity, along with the development of existing airports and the establishment of new ones, is a pivotal step that aligns with our advocacy for efficient multimodal logistics.

The government’s commitment to the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, is encouraging. These initiatives aim to enhance logistics efficiency and reduce costs, aligning with our objectives of service excellence and innovation in logistics. Additionally, the ‘Amrit Kaal’ initiative, which focuses on empowering MSMEs and boosting their global competitiveness, is set to benefit the broader logistics sector.

FedEx welcomes the forward-looking approach of the 2024 interim budget, reflective of the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision. We remain committed to actively contributing to India’s growth journey, aligning our efforts with the government’s vision for a smarter and more sustainable logistics infrastructure in India.”
