India Plans Major Multimodal Hubs to Boost Logistics Network

The proposed projects are expected to integrate road, rail, port, and inland waterways infrastructure, enabling faster and more seamless cargo movement across the country. The initiative has drawn attention from global container shipping lines and logistics operators, who see the projects as a major step toward enhancing India’s supply chain capabilities and trade competitiveness.

Officials said the multimodal hubs will support industrial clusters, manufacturing centres, and export-oriented businesses by improving access to transport networks and reducing transit bottlenecks. The projects are also aligned with the government’s ongoing focus on infrastructure modernisation under initiatives aimed at boosting multimodal connectivity and logistics efficiency.  Industry experts believe the new hubs could strengthen India’s position as a regional logistics and manufacturing hub while supporting rising domestic and international cargo volumes. The developments are expected to encourage greater private investment in warehousing, freight handling, and integrated transport solutions across the country.
