Indian logistics players are concerned over the imposition of e-way bill (an electronic way bill), as the policy determines the validity of the bill depending upon the distance the goods are to travel. Adding to the woes is a rule that every change in the medium of conveyance will require generating new bill, thus making impromptu decision in dire situations, impractical.

Although the new policy can be received well with the big and organised players, the small transporters and carriers are intimidated with their limitation of computer know-how and internet access.
