Logistics Data Bank 2.0 to track containers, trucks in real time

The second version of the Logistics Data Bank (LDB) will enable real-time tracking of export containers on the high seas and movement of trucks within the country to enhance logistics efficiency and reduce logistics costs for the industry, an official said Friday.

"The system will enable real-time tracking and assessment of logistics performance, supporting better planning, higher efficiency, and cost reduction," said Rajat Saini, National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation ( NICDC) CEO and Managing Director.

LDB 2.0 was launched last week and it enables real-time tracking and assessment of logistics performance, supporting better planning, higher efficiency, and cost reduction. The system will also help monitor trucks' compliance with regulations and allows exporters to track containers even after departure from Indian ports across international waters, improving coordination and enhancing credibility in global markets.

Saini added that a live container heatmap provides location-based views of container distribution across the country, helping stakeholders and policymakers identify imbalances and respond proactively to potential bottlenecks.
