CJ DARCL Logistics stands out in India’s burgeoning logistics and warehousing business. Under the direction of President, Nikhil Agarwal, the company is committed to cutting-edge technologies, pursuing cost-effective solutions and increasing warehouse productivity through advanced automation.

In the post-pandemic era, while logistics boomed, it also paved the way for the warehousing sector to flourish. According to the CRISIL report, the estimated industrial warehousing market in India was valued at INR 1060 billion in Fiscal 2023, which is expected to grow at 11 percent CAGR until Fiscal 2028. This growth in the warehousing sector is due to the government’s initiatives of PM Gati Shakti Master Plan and National Logistics Policy. As the e-commerce, retail, automotive sectors, etc. thrive, have contributed towards the growth and increased profitability amongst logistics and warehousing companies.

Being a prominent player in this dynamic landscape, CJ DARCL Logistics Ltd. is at the forefront of this growth trajectory. Their comprehensive service offerings in warehousing and distribution encompass a wide spectrum of tailored solutions to cater to the diverse needs of businesses, eventually providing customer satisfaction.

According to Nikhil Agarwal, President, CJ Darcl Logistics, “As India’s economy grows, there is a significant demand for logistics and warehousing in not only metros but also in Tier 2 & 3 cities. This can be gauged through the immense requirement of grade A warehouse facilities shaping its growth potential in the industry. A recent study by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) stated that the Indian Warehousing market is all set to grow at a  CAGR of 15.64 percent , in order to reach $34.99 billion by 2027. In addition to this, the logistics sector is looking at a strong 10-12% y-o-y growth rate, with the government’s primary focus being on reducing logistics and supply chain costs.”

Understanding the potential of the logistics and warehousing industry and the stupendous growth of the sectors, the government has also introduced numerous policies. As Agarwal mentions, “Initiatives like PM Gati Shakti and National Logistics Policy (NLP), the government encouraged enhancement of infrastructure via expanding road network, investments in dedicated freight corridors, etc. This not only led to the economy’s expansion but also boosted investments from foreign companies to set up their manufacturing facilities in the Indian subcontinent.”

Furthermore, given that India is positioned strategically amidst the major international trade routes, it makes the country a viable option for warehousing. This has largely strengthened the sector in enhancing and improving the supply chain operations and reducing costs. Agarwal added, “CJ DARCL Logistics specialises in multi-user warehousing facilities all located in strategic locations. This includes not only storing products in warehouses but also preserving the shelf life of products, product mixing, packaging, cross-docking, bar-code scanning, order fulfilment, and various ancillary services. These services are thoughtfully categorised and differentiated to suit specific requirements, be it the category, size, or weight of the cargo. This approach significantly enhances the overall productivity and efficiency of supply chain management.”

Furthermore, he added, “Our warehousing capabilities span various types, from climate-controlled storage to automated fulfilment centres and distribution centres, accommodating the evolving needs of modern businesses in this dynamic market.”

“What truly sets CJ DARCL Logistics apart is our commitment to cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions. We offer a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that provides end-to-end inventory visibility, ensuring accuracy and productivity in all operations. This system seamlessly integrates with clients’ ERP systems, streamlining processes for optimal efficiency. CJ DARCL Logistics excels in various aspects of warehousing optimisation, including network optimisation, warehouse design, and cargo loading optimisation. This holistic approach enhances operational efficiency and optimises resource allocation.” stated Agarwal.

CJ Darcl plans to expand in varied industries, offering an innovative, holistic and cost effective solution. Moreover, the company intends to implement and offer enhanced automation and technology-based solutions in its warehouses for increased productivity and optimized cost.
