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 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.

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.
