ColdStar expands India network; sets up 3 new F&V, cold storage – distribution facilities in Mumbai, Sonipat

MUMBAI: ColdStar Logistics, the only independent and self-funded national cold chain player in India and one of India’s fastest-growing temperature-controlled supply chain companies, has expanded its network with three new facilities – Two in Mumbai and one in Sonipat, to cater to the growing demand for fresh and perishable products.

The three new hubs will handle, process and distribute Fruits & Vegetables (F&V) and other perishables for leading e-commerce platforms. The Sonipat unit, standing at an area of 80,000 sq.ft  has a capacity of 1,70,000 units (65 tonnes) a day, while the Mumbai sites together add 2,20,000 units daily – 1,40,000 from the F&V hub and 80,000 from the cold storage unit. Collectively, the facilities bring in a handling capacity of 3,200+ tonnes and employ 1,100+ people daily.

“Sonipat is a natural choice with its proximity to New Delhi NCR area, while Mumbai remains one of the country’s biggest consumption hubs,” said Sameer Varma, Executive Director, ColdStar Logistics. “Our facilities are built to support the scale and speed modern e-commerce and quick-commerce companies need. We’re proud to partner with one of India’s largest platforms and are already looking at new opportunities in East and Deccan India.”

The expansion underlines ColdStar’s ambition to set new benchmarks in India’s cold chain sector, using technology-driven solutions to move products reliably, fresher and faster.
