National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC), Logistics Data Services (NLDS) and Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to digitise the logistics landscape in Gujarat by leveraging Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP).
The MoU was signed by CEO & MD, NICDC, and Chairman, NLDS, Rajat Kumar Saini and CEO, GIDB, Banchha Nidhi Pani.
“This collaboration is expected to bring visibility to streamline logistics operations, foster greater coordination among state departments, and enhance decision-making processes through real-time data insights,” Ministry of Commerce & Industry said in a statement.
Central to this partnership is the development of the Gujarat ULIP Dashboard by NLDS. Designed to operate on a hub-spoke model, the dashboard will seamlessly integrate with various state departments, ensuring a continuous flow of information.
The ministry further said that it will provide real-time visibility into key logistics parameters such as shipment tracking, vehicle utilisation, infrastructure availability, and transit times etc.
The comprehensive tool will empower stakeholders across the government and private sectors to efficiently monitor and manage logistics operations throughout the state.
“The association underscores NLDS’s commitment to leverage technological advancements and innovation to drive progress in the logistics sector. This collaboration is a major milestone in government’s commitment to digital transformation under PM Gati Shakti,” Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), said
