Delhivery Ltd, India’s largest fully integrated logistics provider, has successfully operationalized its largest mega-gateway in Bhiwandi, a nodal parcel and freight origination location. The terminal consolidates the company’s multiple existing Bhiwandi operations and comprises an automated hub, sortation, freight handling, and e-commerce returns operations. Built over 1,200,000 sq ft. of land area, the terminal is designed for over 1600 vehicles to transit through it daily, one vehicle every 54 seconds.
The facility’s automation system, developed and deployed by Falcon Autotech, comprises 1.8 km of integrated double-deck cross-belt sorters coupled with over 5kms of material conveyance systems. It is equipped to process over 32,000 shipments and 17,000 freight units per hour. The upgraded facility is strategically located in one of India’s busiest logistic corridors and is well-placed to leverage the seamless connectivity to the capital via the New Delhi-Mumbai expressway. This is the company’s second mega-facility after its first facility in Tauru, Haryana, went live in 2021.
Sahil Barua, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Delhivery, said, “Our expanded Bhiwandi gateway will enable us to increase capacity for Mumbai and the West Zone’s large and SME freight shippers while maintaining world-class service reliability and efficiency.”
