Maharashtra Cabinet Withdraws Logistics Park Policy Change

The Maharashtra cabinet has withdrawn a proposed amendment to the state's logistics park policy after concerns were raised about regional balance.
The decision was taken at the cabinet meeting on 29 September. Reports said ministers flagged that the amendment could tilt the benefits of logistics investment toward certain regions at the cost of others.
Logistics parks are a key part of Maharashtra's industrial plans, supporting warehouses, cold chains and freight movement for factories across the state. Policy changes in this sector are watched closely by industry.
The withdrawal means the existing policy continues for now. Officials are expected to rework the proposal to address the regional concerns before bringing it back to the cabinet. A stable policy will matter for new investment.
Industry bodies said they will wait for the revised draft before firming up investment plans. Maharashtra competes with states like Gujarat and Tamil Nadu for warehousing investment, and policy stability matters to investors.
