Om Freight Forwarders launches operations at new Uran warehouse in Maharashtra
The logistics company has commissioned a new warehouse facility in Uran, expanding its presence in Maharashtra.
Om Freight Forwarders has commenced operations at a newly commissioned warehouse in Uran, Maharashtra. The facility marks the company's latest expansion in the western Indian state, where demand for third-party logistics and freight handling services has been rising in line with port-led industrial growth.
Strategic location near Mumbai's port belt
Uran, situated along the eastern shore of Mumbai harbour, sits close to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port and the Mumbai Port. The area has emerged as a logistics hotspot, attracting freight forwarders, container freight stations and warehousing operators seeking proximity to India's busiest container terminals. Om Freight Forwarders' decision to set up shop there is consistent with this broader migration of supply-chain assets towards the Navi Mumbai corridor.
What the new facility offers
The new warehouse is intended to support the company's freight forwarding and contract logistics activities, including cargo consolidation, deconsolidation and short-term storage for both export and import shipments. The company has not disclosed the exact floor area or storage capacity of the facility.
Broader context for Indian logistics
The move comes at a time when India's logistics sector is undergoing consolidation, with global freight majors expanding their footprint and domestic players investing in warehousing infrastructure. Recent industry deals highlight the momentum: CMA CGM's agreement to acquire FedEx's logistics unit for $1.4 billion illustrates how international shippers are deepening their presence in integrated supply-chain services.
Om Freight Forwarders' new Uran facility joins a growing roster of warehouses being added across coastal Maharashtra, a trend that mirrors similar expansions by large e-commerce and third-party logistics providers seeking comprehensive supply-chain solutions for third-party businesses across the country.
