New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) The Delhi government has sought the help of the DDA in identifying suitable land plots for setting up warehousing facilities at the peripheries of the national capital, officials said on Wednesday.

The government is already in the process of drafting a comprehensive logistics and warehousing policy to boost trade and industry while also decongesting the city.

The proposed policy recommends a string of warehousing facilities on the outskirts of the city as well as logistics hubs to handle freight movement.

The Industries Department is in touch with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to develop warehousing facilities and logistics infrastructure.

Officials said that the plan is to set up several warehousing facilities and logistics centres on land parcels at least 4-5 acres in size to meet the need of freight movement in the city.

The government is prioritising locations on the city's outskirts, particularly areas with easy access to national highways and major transport corridors, to ensure faster movement of freight and solving the problem of congestion caused by entry of goods vehicles in the city areas, they said.

Industries minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa earlier said that the draft policy proposes relocating warehouses to the city's periphery and shifting last-mile deliveries to electric and CNG vehicles.

These measures would help cut vehicular emissions and reduce congestion at hotspots such as Azadpur, Ghazipur, Naraina and Karol Bagh, he added.

The government is in the final stages of rolling out the 'Logistics and Warehousing Policy' that will use artificial intelligence based planning, real-time tracking and digital freight management systems, officials said.

Localised storage hubs and micro-fulfilment centres will also be set up to ensure faster and more organised last-mile deliveries. Over 60 per cent of warehousing demand in the city currently comes from the e-commerce sector and the policy is designed to attract significant investment in developing infrastructure, officials added.

New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) The electronics manufacturing services market may jump over threefold to USD 150 billion by 2030, driven by domestic demand, policy support and companies' strategy to diversify their supply chains beyond China, a KPMG report said on Wednesday.

India’s Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) market has scaled rapidly to around USD 40-45 billion in FY25, a KPMG report titled India's Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) opportunity: From assembly hub to integrated manufacturing powerhouse, said.

"India’s EMS market has scaled rapidly to around USD 40-45 billion in FY25 and is expected to surpass around USD 150 billion by FY30, supported by exports, policy incentives and supply chain diversification," the report said.

According to the report, India currently accounts for approximately 5–6 per cent of global EMS manufacturing, indicating significant headroom for growth.

Globally, electronics manufacturing is moving from cost optimisation to resilience-led, multi-node supply chains, with EMS players evolving into strategic partners for OEMs. The move provides a significant, but time-bound, opportunity for India.

"While India leads in high-volume assembly, particularly in mobile and consumer electronics, its presence in higher-value areas, such as design, components and IP ownership, remains limited.

"Value creation increases significantly with deeper integration, from assembly to design-led and system-level capabilities, making capability building across engineering, supply chains and product development a strategic priority," the report said.

High import dependency typically ranges from around 80 to over 95 per cent across critical components, and continues to limit domestic value addition and ecosystem maturity, it added.

"Policy interventions have been a critical growth enabler, with around USD 19.5 billion in cumulative incentives aimed at strengthening the electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

"Sustained competitiveness will depend on transitioning from capacity-led growth to capability-led growth, including localisation, certification depth, and design integration," the report said.

The next five to ten years will be decisive for India, it noted. PTI PRS

New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) Over 1.64 crore youth have been trained under the Centre's flagship skilling scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said on Wednesday.

Sharing the achievements of the ministry on the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi becomes India's longest continuously serving elected PM, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said the country has completed 12 years of "Skills, Scale and Transformation".

Through sustained reforms, institutional strengthening and deep collaboration with industry, academia and state governments, Skill India has evolved into one of the world's largest and most diverse skilling ecosystems, it stated.

Jayant Chaudhary, Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said, "The journey of the last twelve years reflects India's growing recognition that skills are among the most powerful enablers of opportunity, productivity and economic transformation. The Ministry has worked to create an ecosystem where skills are viewed as an integral part of learning, employability and lifelong growth, alongside formal education."

India's vocational training infrastructure has expanded significantly, with the number of Industrial Training Institutes growing from 9,776 in 2014 to more than 13,888 today, the ministry said.

Together with National Skill Training Institutes, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendras and Jan Shikshan Sansthans, these institutions have expanded access to quality skill development opportunities across the country.

The ministry has also established three Indian Institutes of Skills (IIS) in Gandhinagar, Mumbai and Kanpur, creating state-of-the-art centres of excellence to deliver industry-aligned, future-ready training.

Apprenticeship has emerged as one of the strongest bridges between education and employment. More than 56.08 lakh apprentices have been engaged since 2016, supported by reforms that have improved participation from both industry and youth while strengthening on-the-job learning opportunities.

"The Ministry has also driven large-scale short-term skilling interventions through flagship programmes such as Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, under which more than 1.64 crore candidates have been trained," an official statement said. PTI RSN HVA

Indore, Jun 10 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh government has approved a new logistics park in Indore district with an expected investment of over Rs 600 crore, an official said on Wednesday.

The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) has allotted approximately 23 hectares of land to a private company for setting up the logistics park in Machal village.

Officials said the project will strengthen the logistics infrastructure (goods transportation and supply chain management) in the state.

The proposed logistics park will have direct connectivity to the Indore-Ahmedabad National Highway and will also be linked to the Pithampur industrial area, thereby accelerating the speed of goods transportation and supply, they said.

Himanshu Prajapati, Executive Director of MPIDC's Indore unit, said, "With the implementation of this project, Indore will strengthen its position as a major logistics hub of the country." PTI HWP MAS NP

New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) The government on Wednesday dismissed as "factually incorrect and misleading" media reports claiming Nepal has banned or suspended imports of Indian mangoes, saying exports to the neighbouring country continue uninterrupted.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare said Nepal's Plant Quarantine and Pesticide Management Centre has itself clarified on June 10 that no ban has been imposed on Indian mangoes.

"...certain media reports have informed that Nepal has imposed a ban or suspension on the import of mangoes from India. These reports are factually incorrect and misleading," the ministry said in a statement.

"Imports continue to be permitted subject to prescribed phytosanitary requirements. Import permits and release orders are being issued upon compliance with these requirements," it said.

Since January 2026, India has exported 149 consignments totalling 2,005 tonnes of mangoes to Nepal. In June alone, 18 consignments amounting to 266 tonnes have been shipped so far, the statement said.

Nepal has recently revised certain import conditions, including introducing a Hot Water Treatment (HWT) requirement. India said it is facilitating exports in compliance with the new norms.

However, New Delhi has conveyed its concerns to Kathmandu over the introduction of new phytosanitary measures without prior consultation, and is pursuing the matter through bilateral channels under the WTO's Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) framework.

Traders and stakeholders have been advised to rely on official communications and disregard unverified reports about alleged restrictions on mango exports to Nepal, the ministry said. PTI LUX HVA
