Allcargo Logistics, an integrated logistics provider through its Domestic Supply Chain, Express Distribution and Consultative Logistics businesses, is enabling handicraft, leather and textile MSMEs across India’s traditional manufacturing clusters with reliable, technology-led logistics solutions designed to improve connectivity, operational efficiency and market access.
India’s heritage manufacturing ecosystems, including Bhuj’s handicrafts sector, Jodhpur’s furniture and artisanal products industry, Moradabad’s metal handicrafts cluster, Tirupur’s knitwear manufacturing base and Surat’s textile industry, continue to contribute significantly to entrepreneurship, exports and regional economic growth. As these businesses expand their reach and serve increasingly diverse markets, efficient logistics infrastructure has become essential for ensuring seamless movement of goods between production centres, distributors, retailers and end consumers.
Traditional manufacturing businesses often operate through complex and fragmented supply chains involving multiple sourcing locations, seasonal demand fluctuations and geographically distributed markets. Allcargo Logistics addresses these challenges through its extensive network, multimodal transportation capabilities and digital shipment visibility solutions, helping MSMEs improve planning, optimise cargo movement and ensure dependable deliveries across the country.
Commenting on the role of logistics in strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystems, Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director & CEO, Allcargo Logistics, said, “As MSMEs across India’s handicraft, leather and textile clusters look to expand their market presence and enhance competitiveness, efficient and technology-enabled logistics solutions have become critical growth drivers. Digital tools, data-led planning, enhanced shipment visibility and AI-enabled capabilities are helping businesses make faster decisions, improve productivity and respond effectively to evolving customer expectations. Through our integrated logistics solutions and nationwide network, we remain committed to supporting MSMEs in building resilient supply chains, improving customer experience and unlocking new opportunities for growth.”
With sustainability emerging as a key priority for businesses, Allcargo Logistics is supporting customers through improved transportation planning, load optimisation and greater supply chain visibility. These capabilities help reduce inefficiencies, enhance resource utilisation and enable MSMEs to develop more agile and sustainable logistics networks.
The company has significantly expanded its nationwide logistics infrastructure to strengthen support for businesses across manufacturing clusters. Its transshipment network has grown from 21 to 71 centres, while the launch of the Allcargo Extended Reach (AER) network has enabled coverage across 100% of India’s available PIN codes. The company has expanded mapped PIN codes from 21,000 to more than 32,000, while direct serviceable PIN codes have increased from 4,900 to over 10,000 through Allcargo Distribution Centres.
Through its expanded network, digital capabilities and customer-focused approach, Allcargo Logistics continues to empower MSMEs with improved access to markets, enhanced service reliability and scalable supply chain solutions that support long-term business growth. Allcargo Logistics Limited, under the composite Scheme of Arrangement, has merged its Domestic Supply Chain business and demerged its International Supply Chain (ISC) business as Allcargo Global.
The Domestic Supply Chain business includes Express Distribution and Consultative Logistics. Combining legacy, innovation and customer-centricity with a strong distribution network, deep expertise and a digital-first approach, Allcargo Logistics delivers reliable logistics solutions for MSMEs, retailers and enterprises. With a nationwide network covering 100% of India’s districts and an expanding presence across Asia, the company provides comprehensive logistics capabilities across Express Distribution, Air Freight, E-commerce Logistics, First and Last Mile Delivery, among others.
The company also offers specialised B2C solutions such as Laabh, Bike Express and Student Express to address the evolving requirements of diverse customer segments. Allcargo Group remains committed to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and continues to invest in people, technology and operational excellence, with a goal of achieving 100% carbon neutrality by 2040.
