Insights

  • India's textile and apparel supply chain is shifting from cost-driven decisions to reliability, traceability and speed.
  • With Gati Shakti, ULIP, LDB, DFCs and new deep-water ports reshaping how cargo moves, exporters are gaining visibility and shorter factory-to-port times.
  • As global buyers demand faster deliveries and carbon-smart logistics, both the stakes and opportunities are rising.

The government’s three-year scorecard backs this up. Since its launch in September ****, ULIP has integrated more than thirty logistics and customs systems and clocked over *.* billion (***+ crore) API transactions as of around August ****, effectively treating data flows like rails. LDB, operational since July ****, has cumulatively tracked over ** million EXIM containers across *** inland container depots (ICDs) by around August ****, turning container visibility from a premium add-on into the default. A Transportation Emissions Measurement Tool (TEMT), developed by IIM Bangalore and partners and endorsed by DPIIT, now gives exporters an ISO-*****-aligned way to report logistics emissions, so freight can sit alongside product footprints in sustainability dossiers.
