Corridor network and economic connectivity
- Economic corridors: High-speed access-controlled expressways linking major industrial, manufacturing, and agricultural belts across India.
- Inter-corridor and feeder routes: Connecting secondary agricultural producing districts directly into national expressway spines.
- Coastal and port connectivity: Streamlining transit times from inland farming regions directly to seaport terminals for agricultural exports.
Impact on farm gate logistics and perishable transport
Perishable produce like milk, fresh fruits, and vegetables historically suffered from high post-harvest transit losses due to congested, narrow arterial highways. Access-controlled greenfield corridors allow refrigerated reefer trucks to travel at sustained highway speeds, effectively cutting transit time by half and preserving farm-fresh quality.
Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs)
- Development of large-scale MMLPs integrating highway networks with dedicated rail freight corridors.
- State-of-the-art warehousing, temperature-controlled cold chains, mechanized sorting, and grading facilities established within logistics parks.
- Enables Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and aggregators to store and dispatch bulk commodities efficiently.
