India is taking a major step forward in strengthening its logistics and supply chain network with the announcement of a new government initiative to transform Bhiwandi, Maharashtra into Asia’s largest logistics hub. This visionary move highlights the country’s commitment to modernizing infrastructure and boosting economic connectivity across the region.
The Maharashtra government is forming a dedicated committee to oversee the project’s development. With representation from the state’s industries and urban development sectors, the committee will address key challenges such as efficient land use, integrated planning, and governance—essential elements in building a smart, scalable logistics ecosystem.
Bhiwandi, covering 144 square kilometers and strategically located near Mumbai, has long been a vital warehousing and distribution center. The area’s transformation into a world-class logistics hub will amplify India’s role in the global supply chain, connecting producers, ports, and markets with greater speed and reliability.
Officials highlighted the potential of Bhiwandi to significantly contribute to India’s economic growth, especially in the context of the state’s broader vision for a $1 trillion economy. With better transport infrastructure, streamlined land management, and digital logistics solutions, the upcoming hub is expected to reduce transit times, lower logistics costs, and create new opportunities for trade and employment.
This development positions India to meet rising global and domestic demand, while also reinforcing the country’s reputation as a growing logistics powerhouse in Asia.
