CWC, MADC Sign Pact to Develop Logistics Hub at MIHAN
In a major boost to India’s logistics infrastructure, the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) has signed an agreement with the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) to establish a state-of-the-art logistics hub at the MIHAN in Nagpur. The partnership marks a significant step toward strengthening integrated logistics infrastructure in central India.
Strengthening Multimodal Logistics Infrastructure
The proposed logistics hub will be developed within MIHAN, a key cargo and industrial zone that plays an important role in India’s multimodal connectivity push. The facility is expected to offer modern warehousing solutions, advanced cargo handling systems, and value-added logistics services. These services will cater to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, e-commerce, and agri-logistics, thereby improving operational efficiency across supply chains. 🚚📦
Boost to Cargo Consolidation and Distribution
Officials highlighted that the project will enhance cargo consolidation and distribution efficiency in central India. MIHAN’s strategic location supported by seamless air, rail, and road connectivity makes it an ideal logistics hub. With improved infrastructure, businesses will benefit from faster turnaround times, reduced transportation costs, and smoother cargo movement. ✈️🚆🛣️
Aligning with National Logistics Policy
The collaboration aligns with the government’s broader objective of improving supply chain efficiency and reducing logistics costs under the National Logistics Policy. The initiative is also expected to generate employment opportunities and attract fresh investments into the MIHAN region, supporting regional economic growth and industrial expansion. 📈
Nagpur Emerging as Logistics Gateway
Once operational, the logistics hub is expected to serve as a critical node for both domestic and international cargo movement. The development will further reinforce Nagpur’s position as an emerging logistics and cargo gateway, strengthening its role in India’s growing multimodal transport network.
Overall, the CWC–MADC partnership represents a strategic move toward modernizing India’s logistics ecosystem, improving efficiency, and supporting economic growth in central India.
