FedEx, the world’s largest express transportation company, has reiterated its strong commitment to the Indian market, citing improving supply-chain resilience and the country’s growing manufacturing base.
Kami Viswanathan, President for the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa at FedEx, said the company would continue to invest in strengthening its network and capabilities in India to help businesses integrate more seamlessly into global value chains.
“India remains a strategic market for FedEx. We will continue investing in strengthening our network and capabilities, enabling businesses to integrate seamlessly into global value chains with reliability, transparency and speed,” Viswanathan said.
Currently, FedEx operates 36 dedicated freighter flights every week connecting India with global markets through Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The company is also setting up a facility at the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport to support its parcel and mail operations, although it has not disclosed specific details about the scale or timeline of the project.
The renewed focus on India follows a series of recent investments by FedEx. These include the development of a 60,000 square metre integrated hub at the AISATS Logistics Park in Bengaluru, aimed at enhancing cargo handling and connectivity. In November last year, the company also launched a new freighter service linking Bengaluru with Guangzhou, strengthening trade links between India and China. In addition, FedEx has been investing in digital solutions to facilitate and streamline export-import (Exim) trade for Indian businesses.
Viswanathan noted that India’s logistics ecosystem is undergoing a significant structural transformation, supported by coordinated infrastructure development and faster execution across multimodal transport networks.
“Initiatives such as PM GatiShakti are strengthening supply-chain resilience and improving efficiency at scale, even amid global uncertainty,” she said.
She added that sustained growth in air cargo volumes—driven by key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, electronics and engineering goods—underscores continued confidence in India’s position as an emerging manufacturing and export hub.
With rising trade volumes and ongoing infrastructure upgrades, FedEx’s expanded footprint reflects broader optimism among global logistics players about India’s long-term role in global supply chains.
