<h1>LEADS 2025 launches national logistics benchmarking with corridor-level metrics and API speed data to cut costs, boost manufacturing</h1> The Union Minister for Commerce and Industry launched LEADS 2025, a federal benchmarking initiative assessing logistics performance across states and union territories to support national manufacturing and self-reliance objectives. The program expands prior surveys by adding corridor-level metrics (journey time, truck speed, waiting periods) and API-enabled section-wise speed data to inform targeted infrastructure and regulatory interventions. The initiative creates a data-driven basis for intergovernmental collaboration to reduce logistics costs, identify best practices, and guide policy and investment decisions aimed at improving supply chain efficiency and sustainability through 2047.
