Bharat Supply to open 40 distribution centres across Central India; to create over 500 local jobs
Logistics startup Bharat Supply announced a major expansion across central India, with plans to open 40 new distribution centres across Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states. The rollout marks one of the company’s largest regional expansions and significantly strengthens its last-mile reach across high-growth Tier-2, Tier-3 and rural markets.
As part of this expansion, the company will create employment opportunities for over 500 local youth across roles in delivery, warehouse management, operations, and partner support. On-ground hiring is already underway and will scale further as the network deepens across the central corridor.
The newly established distribution centres will serve key distribution points including Shahdol, Balaghat, Neemuch, Unnao, Jhansi and Prayagraj, as well as surrounding rural clusters. Each node will function as a daily delivery hub for small retailers, Agri-input dealers, and rural micro-entrepreneurs.
These distribution centres act as hyperlocal supply hubs, keeping essential goods moving smoothly across underserved markets. Each centre stores, sorts, and dispatches products daily, ensuring retail stores, rural micro-entrepreneurs and ecommerce customers receive fast, reliable delivery. These hubs break down bulk shipments into retailer-ready orders, manage local inventory, coordinate delivery teams, and handle returns or issue resolution on the spot. By strengthening last-mile connectivity, the centres help prevent stock-outs, speed up deliveries, and improve access to everyday essentials, from FMCG to agri-inputs, across Central India.
The expansion aligns with the national push toward infrastructure-led growth and enhanced logistics connectivity under the government’s broader “Viksit Bharat” vision. With increased public investment in multimodal logistics, rural infrastructure, and supply chain digitisation, efficient last-mile distribution is emerging as a critical enabler of inclusive economic growth and consumption expansion beyond metros.
“Central India represents one of the country’s most dynamic non-metro consumption corridors, yet supply fragmentation continues to limit the full potential of local markets,” said Taranbir Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Bharat Supply. “By expanding our distribution footprint across Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Central markets, we are strengthening daily access to essential goods while generating meaningful employment for youth in these regions. Our focus remains on building a dependable, technology-enabled supply network that supports India’s growth ambitions and strengthens grassroots commerce.”
The company noted that the central expansion is part of its broader strategy to build scalable, technology-enabled distribution infrastructure across small towns and rural districts — markets where supply inefficiencies often limit growth for small retailers and micro-enterprises.
