Madhya Pradesh’s Logistics Policy-2025 to Boost Trade and Investment

Madhya Pradesh is accelerating economic growth with the launch of the Madhya Pradesh Logistics Policy-2025, unveiled by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav ahead of the Global Investors Summit (GIS) in Bhopal on February 24-25. The policy is designed to enhance supply chain efficiency, lower logistics costs, and attract investment by developing world-class infrastructure.

Building a Global-Standard Logistics Hub

The policy aims to position Madhya Pradesh as a logistics hub by 2030, aligning with global best practices. Key measures include:

Reducing port turnaround times and streamlining logistics processes.
Implementing RFID doors and the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) for better efficiency and security.
Introducing PCS-One for e-delivery orders, which will speed up cargo movement and improve transparency.
Establishing dedicated FSSAI labs to ensure compliance with food safety and quality standards.

Infrastructure and Green Industrialization

The government plans to establish over 20 cargo terminals with state-of-the-art facilities to boost international trade. Additionally, the policy supports green industrialization through:

Zero-liquid discharge waste management and centralized waste processing incentives.
The Green Card Scheme, which provides fast-track approvals for businesses adopting sustainable transportation practices.

Export Growth and Investment Incentives

The policy prioritizes export expansion through the development of export parks, offering:

100% reimbursement on stamp duty and registration fees.
Financial assistance of up to ₹40 crore ($4.8 million) for infrastructure.
Up to ₹25 crore ($3 million) or 25% funding support for pre-processing facilities.

It also aims to:

Promote ‘Made in Madhya Pradesh’ exports.
Generate employment in logistics, warehousing, and transportation.
Reduce transportation costs for farmers, traders, and entrepreneurs.

A Holistic Approach to Economic Growth

The Logistics Policy-2025 is part of Madhya Pradesh’s broader economic strategy, complementing the Madhya Pradesh Industry Promotion Policy and the Madhya Pradesh Export Promotion Policy 2025. These initiatives target the creation of 2 million jobs over the next five years.

To support businesses, the government has introduced a single-window clearance system, eliminating delays and fast-tracking industrial approvals. With incentives for agriculture, textiles, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, EV manufacturing, and renewable energy, Madhya Pradesh is positioning itself as a leading global investment destination.
