The objective of the policy is to fortify a multimodal, integrated logistics ecosystem.

The Cabinet, under the leadership of Chief Minister Pema Khandu, has acknowledged the potential for expansion that recent enhancements in connectivity infrastructure provide. The National Logistics Policy, which aimed to increase efficiency and decrease expenses, was established in 2022.
