Enlight Metals Pvt., one of India’s fastest-growing metal aggregators, has announced an Rs 800 million investment to set up 10 AI-powered dark stores across major industrial hubs. The initiative aims to revolutionise materials distribution through artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics—improving speed, precision, and responsiveness for more than 1,500 OEMs nationwide.

The new facilities will be established in Aurangabad, Nashik, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Bengaluru, Indore, and Chennai, adding to the company’s presence in Mumbai and Pune. Each dark store will operate as a tech-enabled micro-fulfilment hub powered by AI-driven stock orchestration and predictive analytics for real-time inventory management and 24-hour delivery cycles.

“We are building the infrastructure for India’s next-generation manufacturing economy,” said Dhananjay Goel, Director, Enlight Metals Pvt. “Our AI-led distribution network is transforming supply chains into intelligent, adaptive ecosystems that evolve dynamically with customer demand.”

Half of the investment will go toward infrastructure and automation, while the remainder will strengthen digital platforms, AI planning systems, and regional workforce training. The expansion marks a major step in Enlight Metals’ goal to create India’s most agile and data-driven materials distribution network.
