Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCI) announced the opening of one of its largest warehouses in Kolkata on September 25, 2025, spanning 3 lakh sq. ft. on 10.5 acres of land in CGTA Nagar to serve as a logistics hub for Eastern and North-eastern India and support cross-border trade with Bhutan, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia.
The multimodal logistics and supply chain solutions provider positioned the facility to serve automotive, e-commerce, FMCG, retail, textiles and other industries, while also offering cold-chain solutions. The warehouse incorporates eco-conscious features including fly ash brick construction, rainwater harvesting, natural lighting and low-VOC paints.
TCI designed the facility with sustainability priorities and modern features including ultra-flat laser screed flooring, robotics-compatible infrastructure and energy-efficient systems for high-volume operations. The company established its headquarters in Kolkata in 1958 and has grown to become one of India's largest multimodal logistics players.
The facility reflects growing economic activity in the region driven by state government policies and increased connectivity with Northeast India through Government of India infrastructure investments. TCI operates over 16 million sq. ft. of warehousing space with annual revenues exceeding Rs. 7,000 crores across its 60-year legacy.
"Our new warehouse in Kolkata reflects the growing economic activity in the region fuelled by positive policies by the respective state governments, as well as by the increased connectivity with Northeast India at the back of various strategic investments in infrastructure by the Government of India. This state-of-the-art facility will have modern features that prioritise sustainability and will help serve a diverse range of industries, supporting their operations across Eastern and Northeastern India as well as the country's neighbourhood. It has a futuristic design and is one of the most eco-conscious facilities of its kind, thus also making it an optimum choice for the industry to make their supply chains relatively greener," said Manoj Kumar Tripathi, CEO, TCI Supply Chain Solutions.
"TCI shares a very special bond with Kolkata as the company was established in the city by our founder Shri Prabhu Dayal Agarwal Ji in 1958 and it has since grown to become one of the largest multimodal logistics players in the country," he added.
TCI serves clients across automobile, energy and renewables, retail, e-commerce, hi-tech, chemicals, healthcare and lifesciences, metals and minerals, aviation and defence, and agriculture industries through its extensive network of company-owned offices worldwide.
