Haryana government advances development of three Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) under Bharatmala Pariyojana

CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Government is taking a significant step towards enhancing the logistics infrastructure in the state by setting up three Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) through the public-private partnership (PPP) model under the National Corridors Efficiency Improvement Component of Bharatmala Pariyojana Highways Projects.

During a review meeting on the progress of developing Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) in the state held on Wednesday, chief secretary, Sanjeev Kaushal said that the state government is identifying two suitable land parcels in Palwal district and one in Ambala district.

"This initiative will significantly enhance the logistics capabilities of the state, driving economic growth and attracting investments. We commends the government's efforts in establishing a robust infrastructure network to support the logistics industry," said the chief secretary.

Kaushal further directed the officers to expedite the process while engaging in discussions with Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) to finalize the project

The chief secretary said that the ministry of road transport and highways has identified 35 strategic locations across India for the development of Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs) as part of the National Corridors Efficiency Improvement Component of Bharatmala Pariyojana Highways Projects.

In line with this initiative, the National Highway Logistics Management Limited (NHLML), a 100% owned special purpose vehicle (SPV) of NHAI, has been entrusted with the task of developing MMLPs at these 35 locations, including three in Haryana.

The primary objective of these MMLPs is to facilitate seamless intermodal freight movement by integrating various modes of transportation. They will serve as hubs for freight aggregation and distribution, enabling efficient movement of goods across the country. The MMLPs will offer state-of-the-art storage and warehousing solutions, along with value-added services such as custom clearances and IT services, to cater to the diverse needs of logistics stakeholders.
