Government works with ADB on warehouse and cold-chain grading
In short
The government is working with the ADB on a grading and rating framework for warehouses and cold chains. DPIIT’s logistics division is also drafting guidelines for multimodal logistics parks.
This could affect logistics players and storage operators, but the reporting does not say when the framework will be finished or how it will work.
