Allcargo Logistics Limited has reinforced its presence in Maharashtra’s key industrial corridor of Chakan, continuing its long-standing role in supporting manufacturers with integrated logistics solutions. Following the approval of its organisational restructuring plan, which houses the company’s Domestic Supply Chain business, Express Distribution and Consultative Logistics, the company is expanding its focus on enabling efficient supply chain operations across the region.
Developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), the Chakan industrial belt has emerged as one of Asia’s largest manufacturing clusters and a vital component of Maharashtra’s industrial ecosystem. The region hosts a wide range of industries including automotive, pharmaceuticals and heavy engineering. With more than three decades of presence in the region, Allcargo Logistics has built strong partnerships with leading manufacturers operating in the Chakan MIDC.
Mr. Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Allcargo Logistics, said, “Our presence in Chakan MIDC has been a cornerstone of our commitment to Maharashtra’s industrial development. We understand the logistical complexities of large industrial clusters, and through innovative solutions we help businesses expand their reach and improve operational efficiencies. By leveraging advanced technology, we ensure our customers continue to thrive in a competitive market.”
From its operations in the Pune MIDC region, Allcargo Logistics connects businesses to more than 1,28,000 locations across India through a combination of road and air transportation. A key advantage for manufacturers in the Chakan cluster is the company’s ability to offer both surface and air logistics solutions depending on urgency and cost requirements.
The company maintains daily direct road connectivity between Pune and major industrial and transshipment centres such as Ahmedabad, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, Indore, Nagpur and Goa. The Northeast region is served through its Guwahati hub, which further distributes shipments to remote destinations across the region.
Distribution from Chakan is strategically balanced across the country, with around 40 percent of shipments directed to North India, 20 percent to Western markets, 25 percent to the South and 15 percent to the East. This network ensures reliable supply chain connectivity to locations such as Chandigarh, Shimla, Bareilly, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, Aizawl, Dibrugarh, Nagercoil and Palakkad.
Industrial hubs such as Chakan are critical nodes in India’s manufacturing supply chain where logistics speed, reliability and multimodal connectivity determine competitiveness. Every day, Allcargo Logistics handles urgent shipments of critical automotive components needed to keep vehicles operational. These include time-sensitive deliveries of engine parts and electronic modules to extremely remote destinations across the country using air transport.
The company’s network enables deliveries from Pune to seven major metro cities within 24 hours. It also serves key southern markets through air transshipments from Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai to destinations such as Coimbatore, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Warangal, Sivakasi and Vijayawada.
For urgent requirements, direct air connections from Pune allow faster deliveries to Tier II and Tier III markets including Dhanbad, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Patna, Gaya, Darbhanga, Begusarai, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Puri, Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, Kolkata and Kharagpur.
A notable feature of Allcargo Logistics’ operations in the Chakan cluster is its specialised milk-run service, which helps optimise transportation costs by consolidating shipments across multiple suppliers and destinations. The company is also integrating electric vehicles and sustainable logistics practices to support environmentally responsible industrial growth.
Over the years, Chakan has evolved from a hub dominated by MSMEs to a major destination for large manufacturing companies. Through customised logistics solutions and strong connectivity, Allcargo Logistics continues to play a key role in helping industries in the region remain competitive and responsive to both domestic and global market demands.
