The construction of expressways in India has revolutionized agri-logistics by significantly reducing travel time for perishable agricultural products, addressing the problem of post-harvest losses.
Expressways like the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, and Bangalore-Chennai Expressway are under construction to improve logistical efficiency, leading to better prices for farmers and fresher products for consumers.
The expressways reduce transportation expenses by promoting faster vehicle flow, improving fuel efficiency, reducing vehicle wear and tear, and optimizing delivery schedules, benefiting small and marginal farmers in India.
Expressways drive the development of essential agri-logistics infrastructure like Multi-Modal Logistics Parks, agri-processing centers, and cold chain systems, reducing post-harvest losses, increasing agricultural exports, and enhancing India's position in the global agricultural market.
