Ahmedabad has launched its first comprehensive City Logistics Plan, a long-term roadmap to streamline freight movement, reduce congestion and modernise the city’s logistics infrastructure over the next two decades. The plan was unveiled on June 29, during the Gujarat Regional Conference. Prepared in line with the National Logistics Policy and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, it covers the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) area, the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) region and future urban expansion zones.
Why Ahmedabad needs a City Logistics Plan

Ahmedabad currently handles around 289.5 million tonnes of freight every year, with nearly 92% of goods transported by road. The growing freight volume has resulted in traffic bottlenecks, inadequate truck parking, limited warehousing and last-mile delivery challenges. The new plan aims to improve freight mobility while making the city’s logistics network more efficient and sustainable.
Three-tier freight network to reshape goods movement
The blueprint proposes a three-tier logistics system to improve freight distribution across the city. Large freight hubs, including a Multimodal Logistics Park and a Transport Nagar, will be developed on the outskirts. These will be supported by urban logistics consolidation and distribution centres closer to the city, while micro-delivery hubs will handle last-mile deliveries using electric and smaller commercial vehicles.
The plan also includes dedicated freight corridors, east and west bypass roads, a regional ring road, intelligent traffic management systems, logistics parking facilities, warehouses, cold storage units, redevelopment of APMC markets, low-emission zones and expanded EV charging infrastructure.
By 2047, Ahmedabad aims to develop:
- One multimodal logistics park
- Five urban logistics consolidation and distribution centres
- Fourteen micro-delivery hubs
- Thirteen logistics parking facilities with capacity for 6,352 vehicles
- Eighteen warehouses
- Twenty-nine cold storage units
₹12,315-crore project to be implemented in phases till 2047
The City Logistics Plan is estimated to cost ₹12,315 crore and will be implemented in three phases between 2025 and 2047. The project will be executed by AMC, AUDA, the Gujarat government, the National Highways Authority of India and private partners under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
