The Story in Brief
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said technology-driven logistics will strengthen India’s manufacturing and export ambitions as the Logistics Data Bank (LDB) crossed the milestone of tracking 10 crore EXIM containers. The platform provides end-to-end RFID-based visibility of container movement, covering 19 ports, 32 container terminals, 103 ICDs, and 439 CFSs nationwide. In September 2025, Goyal launched LDB 2.0, which added high-seas tracking and multimodal shipment visibility. The data helps identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency for logistics operators, exporters, and policymakers.
The Indian Opinion
Claims of a logistics revolution often ignore ground realities. While the 10-crore-container milestone is impressive, the real test is whether RFID data actually cuts dwell times and costs for small exporters. Past government dashboards have failed to translate visibility into efficiency. Will the Commerce Ministry publish audited savings before the next budget?
