Kuehne+Nagel is strengthening its presence in India with the addition of five new fulfilment centres totaling 100,000 square metres across Gurgaon, Kolkata, Nagpur, Mumbai and Rajpura. With this expansion, the company’s India fulfilment network now spans nearly half a million square metres. The development will create more than 1,500 new jobs across the country, supporting regional employment and contributing to India’s growing logistics sector.
India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, fuelled by strong momentum in high-tech, automotive, consumer goods and healthcare. Increasing demand in these areas is driving the need for flexible, efficient, and strategically located warehousing solutions. The new facilities are equipped with modern automation, including telescopic conveyors and high-speed sorting systems, enabling a 75% rise in peak order-processing capacity. The expansion covers major metros such as Mumbai and Kolkata, emerging tier-2 centres like Gurgaon and Nagpur, and Rajpura — a fast-developing manufacturing and distribution location.
“India represents a major growth opportunity for Kuehne+Nagel,” said Damian Raczynski, Senior Vice President, Contract Logistics, Asia Pacific. “We invest where our customers are growing. These new sites reinforce our ability to support key industries — especially consumer and healthcare — with dependable, scalable logistics solutions.”
