Allcargo Logistics strengthens supply chains for India's specialised MSME clusters
Integrated logistics solutions are helping chikankari, carpet, footwear and dry fruit enterprises expand market access and improve supply chain efficiency.

Over the past year, Allcargo Logistics has supported businesses across these specialised clusters through its integrated logistics network. From Chikankari garments in Lucknow and carpets in Bhadohi, to rubber footwear and slippers in Kanpur and dry fruits from Jammu & Kashmir, the company is enabling businesses to strengthen market access and improve distribution efficiency across India. Supported by multimodal transportation, nationwide distribution infrastructure and real-time shipment visibility, businesses are benefiting from faster movement of goods, improved planning and more reliable deliveries, enhanced supply chain visibility and greater access to customers across metropolitan as well as Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV markets.
Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director & CEO, Allcargo Logistics, said, in statement, "India's specialised MSME clusters are driving regional economic growth while preserving the country's rich manufacturing and artisanal heritage. As these businesses expand into new markets, efficient and technology-enabled logistics become essential for ensuring speed, visibility and reliability across the supply chain. At Allcargo Logistics, we are committed to helping MSMEs scale confidently through integrated logistics solutions that strengthen competitiveness, improve market accessibility, and support sustainable growth. By combining nationwide reach, digital visibility and consultative logistics expertise, we are enabling businesses across India's specialised clusters to build more agile, resilient and future-ready supply chains."
India's specialised MSME clusters including Lucknow's Chikankari apparel, Bhadohi's carpet industry, Kanpur's footwear manufacturing ecosystem and Jammu & Kashmir's dry fruit sector play an important role in employment generation, exports and regional economic development. As demand continues to grow across domestic and international markets, businesses increasingly require integrated logistics solutions that offer seamless connectivity, shipment visibility and dependable distribution to improve customer service levels and respond faster to changing market demand.
To support this growth, Allcargo Logistics has significantly expanded its nationwide network. The company has increased its transshipment centres from 21 to 71 and strengthened its Allcargo Extended Reach (AER) network to cover 100% of India's serviceable PIN codes. Mapped PIN codes have grown from 21,000 to over 32,000, while direct serviceable PIN codes have more than doubled from 4,900 to over 10,000 through Allcargo Distribution Centres. This extensive network enables MSMEs to connect efficiently with metropolitan markets as well as Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV cities, helping them improve service levels, reduce transit times, and unlock new growth opportunities.
