“Warehouse Network across the Country: Our Pradhan Mantri Krishi SAMPADA Yojana highlights our focus on warehousing as a means of increasing farmers’ income. To further expand the warehousing infrastructure in the country, we will establish a National Warehousing Grid along National Highways to ensure necessary logistical
linkages for warehousing of agricultural produce.” — Promise in 2019 BJP Manifesto

In the Union Budget of 2019, there was a strong possibility of announcing a scheme/policy for the National Warehousing Grid along National Highways”. But it wasn’t announced and there was no later news report proving that this scheme was rolled out. It can therefore be concluded that this scheme was not announced and the government’s objectively verifiable performance at 0%.
It can therefore be concluded that:
