The move will not only expand the reach through air cargo movement in the country, but, would lead to a complete transformational shift of the sector from a point to point model to a hub and spoke model.
With this addition to the existing plan of developing integrated logistics initiated by the government, there is a huge boost to the logistics sector, which is projected to grow by over 200 per cent by 2032. At present, the industry is pegged at US $115 billion.
