Kuehne+Nagel Expanding Warehousing and Distribution Capacity in India
Kuehne+Nagel Expanding Warehousing and Distribution Capacity in India
Kuehne+Nagel has announced the opening of five new fulfilment centers in India, keeping pace with the country's rapid economic growth.
The new facilities will be located in Gurgaon, Kolkata, Nagpur, Mumbai and Rajpura, adding a combined 100,000 square meters of additional space and bringing the company's total warehousing capacity in India to approximately 500,000 m².
This expansion initiative will create more than 1,500 new jobs across the country and contribute to local economic growth.
India: At the Heart of a Strategic Growth Market
India is on track to become the world's third-largest economy by 2030.
Strong growth in sectors such as high technology, automotive, consumer goods and healthcare is rapidly increasing demand for scalable and high-performance logistics infrastructure.
In response to this trend, Kuehne+Nagel is building a multi-layered logistics network providing regional access across different parts of the country.
New Centers: Equipped with Intelligent Automation
The newly opened fulfilment centers are equipped with advanced automation technologies.
Telescopic conveyor systems
High-performance sorting systems
These systems increase the warehouses' peak order processing capacity by 75 percent.
This translates into faster, error-free and more flexible delivery processes, particularly in e-commerce, healthcare products and consumer goods sectors.
Geographic Distribution: Adapting to India's Industrial Decentralization
Kuehne+Nagel's new investment locations reflect India's economic diversity:
Mumbai and Kolkata, as Tier-1 cities, are strong demand centers,
Gurgaon and Nagpur, as Tier-2 industrial hubs, are growing rapidly,
Rajpura, despite being a Tier-3 city, is emerging as a rising hub in manufacturing and distribution activities.
This strategic positioning enables the company to establish an extensive supply chain network across both northern and western India.
Kuehne+Nagel Scaling Up Investment in Asia-Pacific
Damian Raczynski, Senior Vice President of Contract Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel Asia-Pacific, commented on the investment:
"India is one of the key growth markets for Kuehne+Nagel.
We invest where our customers are — this expansion strengthens our ability to deliver speed, reliability and flexibility, particularly in the consumer goods and healthcare sectors."
The company is continuing its growth not only in India but also on a regional scale.
In early 2025, it expanded its Asia network by opening a new 2,800 m² Container Freight Station (CFS) near Laem Chabang Port in Thailand.
Conclusion: Integrated Logistics Strength for Sustainable Growth
Kuehne+Nagel's investment in India stands out as part of the country's logistics infrastructure transformation.
The new fulfilment centers align with the company's sustainability goals through energy-efficient design, automation-driven processes and data-driven operations management.
This move marks an important milestone in Kuehne+Nagel's strategic expansion plans for the Asia-Pacific region — enabling it to deliver more agile, flexible and sustainable logistics solutions for both local and global customers.

Kuehne+Nagel is opening 5 new fulfilment centers in India, gaining 100,000 m² in additional capacity.
