‘This Budget has granted project status for establishing cold chain for perishable farm products. Import duty exemption to refrigerated vans was also announced. Both these measures will encourage logistic industry to invest in establishing cold chains which will not only help the industry to grow but also the benefit common man to get products at much lower rates with year round availability. I feel that the Budget should have granted industry status to the logistic industry which will give them easy access to funds providing much needed investment in the sector’.
