The Logistics Excellence, Advancement, and Performance Shield (LEAPS) is a flagship initiative of Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, designed to acknowledge and celebrate the best practices and innovations within the logistics industry.

In line with the National Logistics Policy 2022, LEAPS aims to create a new benchmark in India, as well as globally, by not only recognizing outstanding leadership and innovative endeavours across various sectors within the logistics industry, including air, road, sea, rail freight, warehousing, multimodal transportation, but also the MSMEs, Startups, and Academia who have been providing innovative solutions across the logistics ecosystem.

Building upon the foundation laid by the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan and the National Logistics Policy, LEAPS endeavours to further enhance India's logistics infrastructure and efficiency. LEAPS aims to create a technologically enabled, integrated, and sustainable logistics ecosystem.
