Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Dear Shri Goyalji : Logistics Cost can be 5 %

 


Context :

Gati Shakti to assist economy, help save ₹20 lakh cr: Goyal  /  HT  /  15  Oct  2021


Extract :

The integrated digital platform for infrastructure development—PM Gati Shakti—has the potential to reduce logistical costs from 13% to 8% in the next four-five years, which may lead to savings of about 20 lakh crore for an economy of $5 trillion, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.

 

The minister said initially the idea to create a platform was primarily to reduce logistical costs, which is currently quite high at 13%. But gradually, the scope of it was extended. “Our aim is to bring it down from 13% to 8%,” Goyal said.

 

He said the platform will be opened for the private sector eventually so that they can also take benefit of integrated planning and execution of projects.

 

Currently, PM Gati Shakti portal is not open to the public.

Dear Shri Goyalji,


Your guess is that the Gati-Shakti geo-spatial digital platform will :

Ø  Bring down our LOGISTICS COSTS , from 13 % to 8 %

Ø  Save Rs 20 lakh crore ( in next 4 – 5 years )

But, could Gati Shakti help bring down the logistics costs to ( say ) 5 % by 2023 ?

It can, if we implement :

Ø  A New Way to E-Way ?...................... [ 15 July 2017 ]

 

Extract :


My request / suggestion to GST Council :

       Aim to turn India’s highways into friction-less “ Conveyor Belts of Commerce “


      Look up conveyor belts in the warehouses of Amazon / Flipkart / UPS / FedEx etc , which carry hundreds of packages per minute – with each package carrying dozens of different items ( can we replace “ packages “ with TRUCKS and “ conveyor belts “ with HIGHWAYS ? )


      Each item within each box , has RFID chip and QR code ( interlinked )


      Sensors placed along the conveyor belt “ reads “ each package and each item inside each package . No need to stop the flow of the packages


      E-way Bill too , will have all the QR Codes / RFID data , of each item loaded onto the truck ( Price / Origin City / Destination City / Supplier with GSTN registration number / Recipient with his GSTN registration number / GST – ISGST – SGST amount for each item / Date of Dispatch / Validity of E Way Bill etc )


      Just like today’s Mobile Apps of UPS / FedEx enable online tracking of each package and of individual items within each package , that “ high technology interface “ being proposed by the Government should incorporate the following technologies :


   #   QR code / RFID chip

   #   GPSbased NaviC 

        https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/05/leveraging-navic.html 

   #   Internet of Things ( IoT )

   #   Internetof Vehicles ( IoV )

        https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/03/internet-of-vehicles-iov.html

   #   BlueTooth / NFC

By implementing my suggestion

Internetof Vehicles  /  https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/07/fast-forward-to-iov.html  )

technology will SHUT DOWN the truck engine , upon detection of a violation !


And automatically unlock the engine when the violation gets corrected by EDITING the E-Way Bill , on GSTN web site !

Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,

 

As if this ( bringing down logistics cost to 5 % ) is not enough, I urge you to consider using the Geo-Spatial capability of Gati Shakti ( to track each and every of our 240 million vehicles , 24x7 ) , to :

Ø  Earn Rs 20 lakh*crore per year

Ø  Vastly reduce premature deaths from Air Pollution ( currently, 12 lakh / year ),

-        by implementing :
