Allcargo Logistics Limited, post approval of the organisation’s restructuring plan housing its Domestic Supply Chain business, Express Distribution and Consultative Logistics, has been at the forefront of empowering businesses in Pune’s Chakan belt for over three decades.
Developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation, Chakan MIDC is one of Asia’s largest industrial hubs and a cornerstone of Maharashtra’s industrial ecosystem, serving automotive, pharmaceutical and heavy engineering sectors. With a strong presence in the region, Allcargo Logistics has built strong partnerships with leading manufacturers.
“Our presence in Chakan MIDC has been a cornerstone of our commitment to Maharashtra’s industrial development,” said Mr Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Allcargo Logistics. “We understand the logistical complexities of large industrial clusters, and through innovative solutions, we empower businesses to expand their reach and enhance operational efficiencies. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we ensure that our customers continue to thrive in this competitive market.”
From its Pune MIDC operations, the company connects to over 1,28,000 locations nationwide, offering a mix of road and air transportation based on urgency and cost considerations. A key advantage of Allcargo Logistics in the Chakan cluster is its ability to provide both surface and air delivery options. Daily direct road connectivity links Pune to major industrial and transhipment centres including Ahmedabad, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, Indore, Nagpur and Goa, while the Northeast region is served through the Guwahati hub with further distribution to remote destinations. Distribution from Chakan is strategically optimised with 40% directed to the North, 20% to the West, 25% to the South, and 15% to the East, ensuring streamlined and reliable supply chain solutions across locations like Chandigarh, Shimla, Bareilly, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, Aizawl, Dibrugarh, Nagercoil and Palakkad.
MIDC industrial clusters like Chakan are critical nodes in India’s manufacturing supply chain, where logistics speed, multimodal connectivity and reliability determine competitiveness. Every day, the company handles urgent shipments of critical vehicle parts needed to get vehicles back on the road, including deliveries to extremely remote locations across India using air transport. This enables delivery of essential components such as engine parts and electronic modules to reach their destinations in the shortest possible time. Therefore, shipments reach in 24 hours from Pune to seven key metro cities, while also serving key South markets via air transhipments from Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai to Coimbatore, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Warangal, Sivakasi and Vijayawada.
For time-sensitive requirements, direct air connections from Pune enable faster deliveries to Tier II & III markets such as Dhanbad, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Patna, Gaya, Darbhanga, Begusarai, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Puri, Bhubaneshwar, Rourkela, Kolkata and Kharagpur.
A key feature of Allcargo Logistics’ offering in Chakan is its specialised Milk-run service, which has been instrumental in optimising transportation costs for clients. By integrating electric vehicles and other sustainable practices, Allcargo Logistics also supports the broader vision of a green and sustainable industrial future.
Over the years, Chakan has evolved from a hub for MSMEs to a major destination for large industrial players. Allcargo Logistics’ tailored solutions help these industries stay competitive and meet the demands of both domestic and global markets. As Chakan continues to evolve into a critical industrial player, Allcargo Logistics’ role in enhancing connectivity and streamlining operations remains central to the ongoing success of this key cluster, highlighted a communique.
