Logistics & Integrated Logistic Parks
Logistics Park - Logistics park is defined as an agglomeration of a given set
of logistics activities (core, value added, ancillary as well as commercial)
at a particular, well-defined location. From a policy making point of view,
these terms refer, fundamentally, to the physical organization of logistics
activities where co-location of various industrial/units and collaboration
among various complementary activities creates value, reduces cost and
improves service levels. For the purpose of this policy, a logistics park
system may include but not be limited to the following
a) Warehousing storage system, open, closed and special

warehousing for transit & bonded cargo, domestic cargo, inventory

idle parking.

provisions of a logistics park ( as mentioned above), an integrated logistics
park may include but not be limited to the following
