NEW DELHI, JULY 13, 2018: TO explore ways to strengthen World Bank support towards India's development with collaboration in specific areas of trade, logistics and investment, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Civil Aviation, Mr Suresh Prabhu, met with the World Bank team in New Delhi on Thursday. The team was led by Ms Caroline Freund, Director of Trade, Regional Integration and Investment Climate and Junaid Ahmad, Country Director for the World Bank in India.

The Minister highlighted the work being done by the Ministry for developing a National Integrated Logistic Policy (NILP). The Policy would focus on increasing the capacity of storage and warehousing and other value added services. Multimodal logistics parks, integrating various transportation modes, are also being developed right up to the district level. The Minister also highlighted the work being done by the Ministry towards identifying specific products and markets to increase India's exports by USD 100 bn.
