The awards have been announced in partnership with Arthur D. Little as the knowledge Partner along with CII & FICCI and other eminent industry players.
The framework of awards has been finalised in consultation with the logistics associations and forum user industry partners. The awards are in two categories, the first group includes logistics infrastructure/service providers and second one is for various user industries. There was wide scale appreciation from user industries for giving the due recognition to various players involved in the logistics supply chain.
