Practice questions

Q1Consider the following statements about the National Logistics Policy: 1. PM GatiShakti primarily addresses fixed infrastructure and network planning. 2. The National Logistics Policy primarily addresses services, process reforms, digitisation, skilling and regulatory coordination. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. PM GatiShakti concentrates on fixed infrastructure and integrated network planning, while the National Logistics Policy tackles the soft-infrastructure side through service quality, process reform, digitisation, skilling and regulatory coordination. Their functions therefore complement rather than duplicate each other.

Q2Match List I with List II and select the correct code. List I: 1. ULIP; 2. LEADS; 3. SPEL; 4. E-Logs List II: a. State and Union Territory logistics-performance assessment; b. Sector-wise logistics planning; c. Digital integration of transport-related services; d. Route for industry associations to raise operational bottlenecks

A 1-a, 2-b, 3-d, 4-c

B 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b

C 1-d, 2-a, 3-c, 4-b

D 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d

Explanation

ULIP integrates transport-related digital services; LEADS evaluates logistics performance of states and Union Territories; SPEL develops sector-specific logistics plans; and E-Logs lets industry associations raise operational and service bottlenecks for resolution. Hence the sequence is 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d.

Q3Which institution is the nodal department for the National Logistics Policy?

A NITI Aayog

B Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade

C Department of Expenditure

D National Highways Authority of India

Explanation

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry is the policy's nodal department. Its role spans coordination of the cross-sectoral framework, whereas a highway authority or expenditure department has a narrower mandate.

Q4On which date was the National Logistics Policy launched by the Prime Minister?

A 17 September 2022

B 21 September 2022

C 28 September 2022

D 14 September 2023

Explanation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Logistics Policy at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on 17 September 2022. The later dates mark distinct steps: Cabinet approval occurred on 21 September and the Gazette notification followed on 28 September 2022.

Q5Which of the following is NOT one of the stated 2030 targets of the National Logistics Policy?

A Provide a direct freight subsidy to every logistics company

B Reduce logistics cost to global benchmarks

C Place India among the top 25 countries in the Logistics Performance Index

D Create a data-driven decision-support system for logistics

Explanation

The policy's three stated 2030 targets concern logistics cost, a top-25 position in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index, and a data-driven decision-support system. It is a coordination and reform framework rather than a cash-benefit programme, so a universal direct freight subsidy is not one of its targets.
