Kuehne+Nagel distribution centre expansion India
India is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, with strong growth across high-tech, automotive, consumer goods, and healthcare sectors. Rising demand in these industries is driving the need for scalable, high-performance logistics infrastructure.
The new fulfilment centres are equipped with automation technologies, including telescopic conveyors and high-performance sorting systems, enabling a 75% increase in peak order handling capacity.
The locations span tier-1 cities Mumbai and Kolkata, tier-2 hubs Gurgaon and Nagpur, and Rajpura in tier-3 — aligned with India’s multi-city industrial growth. Gurgaon and Nagpur continue to evolve as growth hubs for multiple industries, while Rajpura, is gaining traction in manufacturing and distribution.
