Kuehne+Nagel accelerates in India with 100,000 sq. m fulfilment centre expansion

Kuehne+Nagel, one of the world’s leading logistics service providers (headquartered in Switzerland), is investing in five new fulfilment centres, adding 100,000 sq. m of capacity, in Gurugram, Kolkata, Nagpur, Mumbai and Rajpura. This expansion has increased the company’s total fulfilment centre footprint in India to nearly 500,000 sq. m and will generate more than 1,500 new jobs nationwide, contributing to the growth of the local economy. 

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 Gurugram and Nagpur, and Rajpura in tier-3 — aligned with India’s multi-city industrial growth. Gurugram and Nagpur continue to evolve as growth hubs for multiple industries, while Rajpura is gaining traction in manufacturing and distribution, as per a release.

“India is a key growth market for Kuehne+Nagel,” said Mr Damian Raczynski, Senior Vice President, Contract Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel Asia Pacific. “We invest where our customers are — and this expansion strengthens our ability to serve high-demand sectors like consumer and healthcare with speed, reliability and flexibility.”
