India and South Korea have taken a significant step towards strengthening their logistics and infrastructure collaboration. On February 10, 2025, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) of the Government of India and the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI) of the Republic of Korea signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Sejong National Research Complex in South Korea.
The agreement was officially signed by Mr. Youngchan Kim, the President of KOTI, and H.E. Amit Kumar, the Ambassador of India to South Korea. This partnership is designed to boost logistics efficiency, improve infrastructure planning, and foster sustainable economic development through the exchange of knowledge and technical collaboration.
How Will This MoU Benefit India’s Logistics Sector?
The MoU focuses on fostering deeper cooperation between DPIIT’s Logistics Division and KOTI. South Korea’s expertise in transport and logistics is expected to aid India’s ongoing infrastructure expansion, particularly under the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan. The agreement outlines a structured mechanism for knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and research-driven programs.
