## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

(a) Yes,  Madam.  Some  of  the  projects  are  facing  land  acquisition  problems. Land acquisition is a long process involving various stages such as notification under 3(a), 3(A) and 3(D) under NH Act. 1956. After notification under 3(A), objections  are  also  invited  from  the  land  owners  and  after  disposing  of  the objections, the final notification under 3(D) is issued.  Compensation is decided by the Competent Authority (Land Acquisition) and in case anyone is aggrieved of  quantum  of  compensation  amount  there  is  a  provision  to  approach  the arbitrator.

- (b) Yes, Madam. CCEA, in October 2017, has in-principally approved development of 35 Multi Modal Logistics Parks as a part of the National Corridor Efficiency Enhancement Component  (NCEEP) of Bharatmala Pariyojana to improve efficiency of the road freight movement in the country. The development of Multi Modal Logistics Parks in the country will act as freight aggregation and disaggregation  centers  and  will  enable  a  hub-and-spoke  model  of  freight movement,  in  contrast  to  the  point-to-point  freight  movement  currently prevalent  in  India.  Further,  these  Multi  Modal  Logistics  Parks  enable  use  of larger trucks/ rail movement between hubs which have lower per-ton-per-km cost compared to smaller trucks. A network of 35 Multi Modal Logistics Parks has been identified and list of same is enclosed as Annexure-I
- (c) Logistics  Parks  will  enable  optimum  and  efficient  vehicular  movement  in  the country  and  thus  lead  to  reduction  in  vehicular  pollution  and  congestion. Further,  shifting  warehouses,  currently  being  operated  inside  city  limits,  to logistics parks will enable reduction in warehousing cost. In addition, modern and  mechanized  storage  solutions  provided  by  logistics  parks  will  enable reduction in storage and handling losses.

(d) Yes, Madam. The details are enclosed as Annexure-II

(e) Development of Multi Modal Logistics Park is expected to improve the logistics efficiency  of  the  country,  enabling  reduction  in  logistics  costs.  These  Multi Modal  Logistics Parks are expected  to  reduce the transportation costs, warehousing costs, congestion and pollution to a significant extent by providing the  following  key  functionalities  which  will  be  instrumental  in  facilitating synchronized, efficient and seamless freight movement in the country giving a boost to industry and employment generation:(i) Freight  aggregation  and  distribution :  Logistics  parks  acting  as freight aggregation  and  distribution hubs  enable  line haul freight movement (between hubs) on larger sized trucks and thereby aiding in reduction of freight transportation cost. (ii) Multimodal freight transportation: Logistics parks with Road and Rail  connectivity  enable  multimodal  freight  transportation.  This  aids freight transportation on line haul (between hubs) to shift from Road to Rail  and  waterways  (wherever  possible),  thereby  reducing  the  freight cost. (iii) Storage and Warehousing: Logistics parks provide modern mechanized  warehousing  space,  satisfying  the  special  requirements  of different commodity groups - For example, Logistics parks will provide cold  storage  facilities  required  for  perishables,  racked  warehousing space for storing palletized cargo (eg. parcel, apparel, etc.). With higher proportion  of  mechanized  material  handling,  warehousing  in  logistics parks will reduce storing and handling losses. (iv) Value added services: Logistics parks also provide value added services such as customs clearance with bonded storage yards, warehousing management services, etc.  Customs clearance at logistics parks enable the waiting time reduction at the ports and thereby reduce the freight transportation cost and time for export cargo.
