Delhivery Ltd, India’s largest logistics provider, has successfully operationalized its largest mega-gateway in Bhiwandi. The 1,200,000 sq ft. facility, built over 1,200,000 sq ft., combines automated hub, sortation, returns, and freight operations with the capacity to handle Delhivery’s parcel and part-truckload freight volume simultaneously. The upgraded facility is strategically located in one of India’s busiest logistic corridors and is well-placed to leverage the New Delhi-Mumbai expressway. This is Delhivery’s second mega-facility after its first facility in Tauru, Haryana, went live in 2021. A third mega-facility in Bangalore is expected to become operational in 2024.
Sahil Barua, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Delhivery, said, “Our investments in this facility’s cutting-edge automation systems will enable us to generate improvements in efficiency and speed, setting a new standard for our network and the industry at large.”
The automated gateway has 196 docking stations and can transact over 8,000 tonnes of freight, with 1600 vehicles transiting through it daily. The facility’s automation system, developed by Falcon Autotech, comprises 1.8 km of integrated double-deck cross-belt sorters and over 5kms of material conveyance systems. It can process over 32,000 shipments and 17,000 freight units per hour.
