Chhattisgarh, Goa, Bihar and Mizoram are the 15 states and UTs ranked in the aspirers category.

Gujarat, Assam and Andhra Pradesh are among the 15 states and union territories (UTs) categorised as achievers in the logistics index chart 2022, according to a report released by the commerce and industry ministry recently. Madhya Pradesh, Tripura, Puducherry, Kerala, Sikkim and Rajasthan are the other states categorised as fast movers in the ranking.

The index is an indicator of the efficiency of logistical services necessary for promoting exports and economic growth.

The fourth Logistics Ease Across Different States (LEADS) 2022 report ranks states and UTs on the basis of their logistics ecosystem, highlights the key logistics-related challenges faced by the stakeholders and includes recommendations, a news agency reported.

The report by the department for promotion of industry and internal trade was unveiled by commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal.

No ranking was released last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gujarat was at the first position in both 2018 and 2019 ranking lists.
