Japan’s Yamato Group has opened its largest overseas logistics center in India, strengthening its footprint in the country as rising manufacturing activity drives demand for integrated supply-chain services.
The new facility is designed to support automotive, electronics, machinery, and consumer goods manufacturers, offering end-to-end logistics solutions including warehousing, distribution, inventory management, and value-added services. Yamato said the center will act as a regional hub, enabling faster domestic deliveries as well as smoother connections to export markets.
India’s expanding role as a global manufacturing base—backed by policy initiatives such as Make in India and production-linked incentives—has led multinational manufacturers to scale up local operations. Yamato said the new logistics center positions it to support customers seeking reliable, time-definite logistics amid increasingly complex supply chains.
“The opening of our largest overseas logistics center underscores our long-term commitment to India,” the company said, adding that demand from both Japanese and global manufacturers operating in the country has accelerated in recent years.
The facility incorporates advanced automation, digital tracking, and quality control systems, aligned with Yamato’s global standards. The group said it will also focus on sustainability measures, including energy-efficient operations and optimized transport planning to reduce emissions.
Industry analysts say the move highlights India’s growing importance in Asian supply chains, as companies diversify production and logistics away from single-country dependence. With manufacturing output and exports expected to rise further, demand for large, professionally managed logistics hubs is likely to remain strong.
Yamato’s expansion adds to a series of recent investments by global logistics players in India, reflecting confidence in the country’s manufacturing-led growth trajectory.
