The Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) offers huge opportunities for states to improve their logistics frameworks, a top government official said on Monday.
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh encouraged all states to actively leverage ULIP and promote a seamless, efficient and inclusive logistics sector across India.
The platform was launched on September 17, 2022 as part of the national logistics policy.
It is a digital gateway that allows industry players to access logistics-related datasets from various government systems through API-based integration.
Currently, the platform integrates with 37 systems from 10 ministries via 118 APIs, covering more than 1,800 data fields.
Private sector participation in ULIP has played a significant role in increasing its impact with over 900 companies registered on the portal. Moreover, these companies have developed more than 90 applications, leading to more than 35 crore API transactions.
“ULIP provides an unprecedented opportunity for states to improve their logistics frameworks,” Singh said.
He was speaking at a workshop on ULIP.
