The government is working on bringing a single logistics law for all modes of freight transportation to eradicate duplication of processes and simplify procedural requirements, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said. The Road, Transport and Highways Minister said the public-private partnership model should be encouraged for the development of air cargo infrastructure in the country.

The government's aim is to reduce the logistics cost to 8%, which was currently around 14%. He pointed out that in the domestic aviation market, air cargo share is very low and the challenges are many. He suggested that old defence aircraft can be used for the transportation of fish and fruits to reduce transit time for such products.
