Over the past decade, NLDSL has been engaged in the development and operation of digital public infrastructure platforms aimed at facilitating data exchange across logistics value chains. These initiatives support transparency, efficiency and data-led decision-making in the logistics sector and are aligned with NICDC’s mandate of enabling industrial and economic infrastructure, particularly in the context of growing trade, manufacturing and multimodal transport activity.

NLDSL has deployed standards-based technology platforms for use by government agencies and industry participants. Key platforms include the Logistics Data Bank (LDB) and the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), which support container tracking, application programming interface (API)-based data exchange, analytics and end-to-end visibility across ports, terminals, rail, road and other logistics nodes.

The Logistics Data Bank functions as a single-window container logistics visualisation system, providing tracking through container numbers. The platform currently covers 100 per cent of India’s EXIM container volume and is operational across all container-handling port terminals in the country. Since its inception in 2016, LDB has tracked over 91 million EXIM containers.
