DMIC Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida Ltd (DMIC-IITGNL) has invited fresh bids for the development of a ₹5,881 crore Greenfield Multi Modal Logistics Hub (MMLH) at Dadri in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, after the earlier tender failed to attract sufficient competition.
The previous tender, issued in November 2025, was extended several times but reportedly received only two bids before being cancelled. According to sources, the fresh tender has been floated without any significant changes in the project scope in an effort to attract more bidders.
DMIC-IITGNL, a special purpose vehicle jointly promoted by the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust (NICDIT) and the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), is implementing the project.
The proposed Multi Modal Logistics Hub will be developed over 311 hectares and is designed to become one of India’s largest integrated logistics facilities. It will feature mechanised container handling systems, modern warehouses, specialised storage solutions, cold storage facilities, and infrastructure for handling containerised, bulk and break-bulk cargo. The hub will also offer value-added logistics services such as cross-docking, stacking, labelling and cargo customisation.
The project will be implemented in three phases. Phase I, estimated at ₹2,374 crore, will create capacity to handle 0.74 million TEUs and 6.7 million tonnes of non-containerised cargo, along with 3 million sq. ft. of warehousing and 0.3 million sq. ft. of cold storage. Phase II, with an investment of ₹1,412 crore, will increase the capacity to 1.12 million TEUs and 7.2 million tonnes, while expanding warehousing and cold storage to 4 million sq. ft. and 0.4 million sq. ft., respectively. In the final phase, an investment of ₹2,095 crore will enhance capacity to 1.44 million TEUs and 7.8 million tonnes, with warehousing increasing to 5.5 million sq. ft. and cold storage to 0.5 million sq. ft.
The logistics hub will benefit from strategic multimodal connectivity, being located at the convergence of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) and Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC). It will also have direct access to NH-34, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Jewar International Airport, the Delhi–Howrah broad gauge railway line, and the old NH-91, providing seamless connectivity across rail, road and air networks.
According to the tender document, the project’s location will enable it to leverage freight traffic on both dedicated freight corridors while improving logistics efficiency for industries across the region.
The project will be awarded under a Minimum Guaranteed Revenue Share (MGRS) model, with the contract going to the bidder offering the highest revenue share.
Industry sources believe the project’s high investment requirement and the presence of nearly 20 operational Inland Container Depots (ICDs) in the National Capital Region may have contributed to the limited response to the previous tender. However, the Dadri MMLH is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening India’s multimodal logistics infrastructure and supporting the country’s industrial and export growth.
