So are you telling me logistics value added or logistics cost is the same total manufacturing value added in the country... these numbers, I just don't understand," the eminent economist said. According to Mohan, the acceptance of this argument that India's logistics cost is 14 per cent, leads to policy actions that industry loves, like the PLI scheme."(Industry people say) we are uncompetitive because of this (high logistics cost), so give me money. But (they also) say don't give money to farmers, but give money to us," he said.
