TCI Expands Supply Chain Network with Kolkata Warehouse Opening

Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCI), one of India’s leading warehousing, multimodal logistics and supply chain solutions provider, has announced the opening of one of its largest warehouses in Kolkata. The new facility, situated in CGTA Nagar, spans across about 3 lakh sq. ft. on 10.5 acres of land. It is positioned as a hub for Eastern and North-eastern India, and supports cross-border trade with neighbouring Bhutan, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. It is equipped to serve a diverse range of industries including automotive, e-commerce, FMCG, retail, textiles and others. It also offers cold-chain solutions.

“Our new warehouse in Kolkata reflects the growing economic activity in the region fuelled by positive policies by the respective state governments, as well as by the increased connectivity with Northeast India at the back of various strategic investments in infrastructure by the Government of India. This state-of-the-art facility will have modern features that prioritise sustainability and will help serve a diverse range of industries, supporting their operations across Eastern and Northeastern India as well as the country’s neighbourhood. It has a futuristic design and is one of the most eco-conscious facilities of its kind, thus also making it an optimum choice for the industry to make their supply chains relatively greener,” said Manoj Kumar Tripathi, CEO, TCI Supply Chain Solutions.

“TCI shares a very special bond with Kolkata as the company was established in the city by our founder Shri Prabhu Dayal Agarwal Ji in 1958 and it has since grown to become one of the largest multimodal logistics players in the country,” he added.

The warehouse has a fly ash brick construction, rainwater harvesting, natural lighting, low-VOC paints and other eco-conscious features. It also incorporates ultra-flat laser screed flooring, robotics-compatible infrastructure and energy-efficient designs for high-volume and future-ready operations.
