DTDC
Express Ltd. has launched the DTDC Bharat One Hub at Rathiwas, Haryana, as part
of its ongoing investment in logistics infrastructure. Strategically located to
serve Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR, Haryana and adjoining markets, the facility
is aimed at improving freight movement, mid-mile connectivity and processing
capacity for businesses across North India.
Spread across 1.5 lakh sq. ft.,
the hub has a peak processing capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day and is operated
by a workforce of over 150 trained professionals. It is equipped with advanced
sorter systems, a multi-conveyor belt setup, hydraulic dock infrastructure and
enhanced dock utilisation capabilities, designed to speed up freight
consolidation and improve turnaround times as volumes grow. The facility will
function as a key transit hub within DTDC’s network, aimed at improving
shipment flow across Delhi-NCR and major North-bound corridors by reducing
transit bottlenecks and optimising route efficiency. The company said the added
capacity will also strengthen network resilience during seasonal demand
peaks. Abhishek Chakraborty, CEO, DTDC,
said India’s next phase of commerce growth would depend on the strength of its
logistics infrastructure, particularly as businesses expand into Tier 2 and
Tier 3 cities. He described the Bharat One Hub as a step toward strengthening
the company’s network and operational agility, calling it an investment in the
logistics backbone needed to support India’s growth. The Bharat One Hub is part of DTDC’s
Vision 2030 strategy to expand its nationwide logistics network through
continued investment in infrastructure, automation and operational efficiency. DTDC’s network currently includes over
16,500 customer access points, more than 500 operating facilities, and covers
96% of India’s population. The company said the new hub will further expand
this network’s capacity and reach.
