Cabinet approves Integrated Transport Logistics Authority for unified road, rail planning
ITLA will prepare 10-year-plus transport master plans, appraise projects worth ₹500 crore or more and integrate data across roads, railways, ports and aviation.
The Indian Cabinet has approved the establishment of the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority (ITLA), a proposed apex body tasked with overseeing integrated transport and logistics planning, research, project appraisal, and monitoring. The authority aims to address the long-standing issue of fragmented planning and implementation across multiple transport-related ministries and agencies.
By fostering greater coordination and multi-modal integration, ITLA is expected to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and effectiveness of transport infrastructure development in India. The authority will undertake various tasks, including evaluating sectoral plans, carrying out technical appraisals of infrastructure projects, building a unified transport data repository, and advising on the review and updation of the National Logistics Policy.
