Set up in 1989 in pursuance of the recommendations of the National Transport Policy Committee (NTPC), the Institute has since come a long way. The United Nations Economic and Social Council has granted AITD a special consultative status. This status is awarded to select non-government organizations that have the necessary expertise, recognized standing within the particular field of its competence and capacity to assist the work of the United Nations. The Government of India has drawn on its advice and expertise while formulating national plans and for developing long-term policy framework for transport and logistics sectors.
