| Project Name | West Bengal Boosting Logistics Efficiency and Trade Facilitation Program |
| Project Detail | The development objective of the West Bengal Boosting Logistics Efficiency and Trade Facilitation Program for India is to increase logistics efficiency and trade facilitation in West Bengal. The program aims to result in: (i) enhanced institutional capacity for promoting trade and logistics; and (ii) reduced trade costs. The program will increase climate resilience and sustainability in the logistics and trade sectors. The program will support the adoption and implementation of sustainability frameworks that support infrastructure investment plans and energy efficiency measures in warehousing and cold storage facilities. It will also increase overall efficiency of the movement of goods and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (as logistics parks lend themselves to promote hub and spoke arrangements in freight movement, which promote utilization of bigger and fuller trucks that have a low GHG footprint). to enhance logistics efficiency and trade facilitation. |
