Leading logistics service provider Delhivery has announced the expansion of its Chandigarh Gateway Hub, marking a major milestone in strengthening its infrastructure in northern India. The newly expanded facility spans 2.35 lakh sq. ft. and is expected to play a vital role in driving economic development in the region. This move will not only improve order fulfillment for local businesses but also create thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities.
The expanded hub aims to empower businesses across Chandigarh and surrounding areas by offering improved inventory storage and nationwide order fulfillment solutions. With better access to nationwide markets, local enterprises, especially MSMEs, can now scale up their operations and ensure faster delivery of goods to customers across the country.
Commenting on the development, Dingtang Tikhak, Senior Vice President, Regional Hub Operations at Delhivery, said:
“Chandigarh and its surrounding region remain a core market for us. This expansion directly addresses the needs of local businesses, enabling them to deliver products faster to customers nationwide. Beyond facilitating commerce, the expansion will drive growth in supporting sectors like packaging, transportation, and last-mile logistics, creating jobs within the community.”
He added that the new facility is set to elevate customer experience, especially as the festive season approaches, by enabling faster and more precise services.
With this expansion, Delhivery has increased its storage capacity in the region by 30%, addressing the growing needs of businesses. The upgraded hub features advanced automation to handle larger shipment volumes with greater efficiency. Key technology additions include:
Hub Conveyor Solution: With a 4,000 shipments per hour throughput, this system efficiently sorts incoming and outgoing shipments.
Cross Belt Sorter (CBS): With a capacity of 12,000 shipments per hour, the CBS ensures rapid and accurate shipment processing.
These technologies are designed to reduce turnaround times, enhance supply chain efficiency, and support businesses during peak demand periods, such as during festivals and major sales events.
The Chandigarh Gateway Hub now offers:
Over 3,000 bin locations
Storage space for 46,000+ inventory bags
This expansion allows businesses to store goods locally and ship them nationwide seamlessly. With enhanced capacity and automation, local entrepreneurs and businesses can better prepare for spikes in demand, ensuring timely deliveries and expanded market reach.
Delhivery continues to prioritize environmental sustainability in its operations. The Chandigarh facility incorporates several green initiatives, including:
350 KW rooftop solar panels, which reduce dependency on conventional energy and help lower the carbon footprint.
A 1,000L wastewater storage and reuse system, which supports water conservation by reusing water for cleaning purposes.
Transparent fiber roofing that allows natural daylight to illuminate the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting and conserving energy.
These eco-friendly features reflect Delhivery’s commitment to building infrastructure that supports long-term environmental goals while delivering top-tier logistics services.
The expanded hub is part of Delhivery’s broader strategy to fortify its logistics network across northern India. The company’s regional network covers Punjab, Haryana, Jammu, and Himachal Pradesh, supported by:
20+ sorting centers
360+ delivery stations
A growing ecosystem of franchise partners
This robust infrastructure helps thousands of businesses, particularly MSMEs, access reliable, scalable logistics solutions that allow them to deliver to customers in every corner of the country.
