"The government's decision to establish a panel to monitor the costs of doing business in India is a welcome move. Logistics companies will hope that this would lead to bold initiatives to reduce transaction costs of trading across India’s international as well as state domestic borders. The industry was also hoping announcements would be made to add clarity on the design and the roadmap for implementation of GST, but the same was not addressed."
