The LEADS (Logistics Ease Across Different States) Report has become a yardstickthatguides
the States and the UTs to gauge perfo1mance of their logistics ecosystem . It helps the state
governments to check the actual impact of the policies and initiatives undertaken by them for the
overall development of logistics sector. Punjab has been in the top 3 rank holders in LEADS
with attaining 2nd rank in 2018 and 2019 but slipped down to rank 3 in 2021 - dropping by one
spot. Key indicators in customer survey added to the decrease in ranking.
In LEADS 2021, Punjab scored the highest in 10 out of the 21 parameters that were considered
for rankings.Further Punjab scored the second highest in 4 other parameters. The State has
shown good scores across infrastructure, services, and regulatory categories. Punjab was able to
continue its trend of improvement by recording a score of 3.51 in 2021 against that of 3.46
in 2019 indicating a 5 % increment over its previous performance.The State ' s proactive
policies such as Invest Punjab Business First Po1tal , a single window clearance mechanism for
regulatory approvals, fiscal incentives granted under the Industrial and Business Development
Policy, and presence of quality infrastructure has resulted in Punjab being a top petf01mer State.
