Delhivery Ltd (NSE: DELH.NS) strengthened its logistics network with the opening of a mega-gateway facility at Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, which significantly enhances its storage and freight handling capacity. The expansion is part of the company's long-term goal of establishing a pan-India network of high-capacity technology-enabled logistics hubs.

1. Facility Highlights

The Bhiwandi hub covers 1.2 million sq. ft. and is one of the biggest logistics terminals in India.
It accommodates 196 docking bays and can process over 8,000 tonnes of freight daily, with a vehicle passing every 54 seconds.
The facility integrates automated sortation solutions, returns processing, and freight handling, powered by Falcon Autotech's double-deck cross-belt sorters and over 5 km of conveyance systems.

2. Strategic Impact

The growth will improve service levels for both large businesses and SMEs in the West Zone, including Mumbai.
It enables parcel and part-truckload freight to complete Delhivery's vision of offering end-to-end logistics solutions.
The hub also supports Delhivery's vision for sustainability, with further deployment of LNG-powered trucks and road trains to assist in emissions minimization and improve cost savings.

3. Broader Network Vision

This is Delhivery's second mega-gateway, following the first in Tauru, Haryana. A third will go live in Bangalore by later this year.
These hubs are the basis of Delhivery's vision for redefining logistics efficiency and supporting India's growing e-commerce and FMCG industries.
