Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) surpasses 100 Crore Application Programming Interface (API) transactions: enabling seamless, smart, and sustainable logistics

The Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) has achieved a major milestone, surpassing 100 crore Application Programming Interface (API) transactions, reinforcing its role as a transformational force in India’s logistics sector. Launched under the National Logistics Policy (NLP) on September 17, 2022, ULIP integrates 43 systems from 11 ministries through 129 APIs, covering over 1,800 data fields to enhance data accessibility and operational efficiency. With 1,300 plus registered companies and 350 plus agreements signed, ULIP is driving automation, real-time cargo tracking, and regulatory compliance. The platform processes an average of one crore API transactions per week, benefiting businesses of all sizes and democratising access to logistics data. 

ULIP’s multi-modal API ecosystem facilitates real-time tracking across road, rail, ocean, and air, ensuring just-in-time inventory management and cost savings. Companies such as Prism Johnson, Asian Paints, and Tata Steel use ULIP for transporter verification and supply chain optimisation. Century Plywoods and Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCIL) leverages the platform to adopt greener transport alternatives. Additionally, logistics service providers like Cuttack Carriers, Road Pilot, and Intugine are streamlining freight movement and digital documentation, reducing congestion at logistics hubs. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Piyush Goyal, emphasised that ULIP aligns with India’s vision of becoming a global trade and manufacturing powerhouse, modernising logistics infrastructure, and enhancing competitiveness in the Make in India initiative.
