CJ Darcl Logistics is set to accelerate its next phase of growth in India, backed by a $32 million capital infusion from South Korea’s CJ Logistics, which recently increased its stake in the company from 50% to 56%.
Nikhil Agarwal, President of CJ Darcl Logistics, said the investment will be deployed across four key verticals—road transport, multimodal logistics, warehousing, and technology.
In road transport, we are exploring alternate fuels like LNG and EVs. In multimodal logistics, we’re expanding our rail services—we already operate about 150 rakes across India,” Agarwal said. The company also plans to scale up its warehousing operations, which currently cover 2.5 million square feet across 20 facilities. “We want to expand that further,” he added.
Agarwal noted a rising push for cleaner fuel solutions, in part driven by client demand and ESG norms. “Some of our clients are asking for LNG. OEMs are now offering good EV products, and LNG infrastructure is developing. That’s why we’re bullish on these solutions,” he said.
The company, which operates as a B2B contract logistics provider, counts major players across India’s industrial sectors among its clientele. “We work with the who’s who of India’s industrial base,” Agarwal said, adding that CJ Darcl has also been helping clients cut emissions through rail, multimodal logistics, and cleaner fuels.
CJ Darcl reported nearly ₹5,200 crore in revenue last year (FY25), reflecting about 15% growth. Agarwal said a similar growth trajectory is expected to continue over the coming years.
