Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: C
Notes:

Statement 1: India’s logistics sector is largely unorganized and fragmented, which is why the country’s logistics costs as per external estimates are as high as 14-15% of GDP, against 7-8% in developed nations. Due to the fragmented logistics in the country, about 16% of India’s agri-production is wasted at different stages of the supply chain.

Statement 2: The National Logistics Policy (NLP) launched aims to bring down logistics costs and address logistical challenges.
