Polycab India has expanded its distribution network with the launch of a new Quick Service Depot in Amritsar. The move is aimed at strengthening the company’s supply chain across Punjab and Jammu through faster deliveries, improved service responsiveness and better market reach.

Spread across around 15,000 sq ft, the depot will support the distribution of Polycab’s product portfolio, including wires and cables, lighting, fans, switches, switchgear, conduits and pipes, and solar products. The facility is expected to improve order fulfilment, reduce lead times, ease inventory pressure and enhance service levels for channel partners and customers in the region.

The Amritsar depot also complements Polycab’s existing warehouse in Zirakpur, further reinforcing its regional logistics infrastructure. The company said the expansion aligns with its continued focus on operational efficiency, customer-centricity and quicker product availability across markets.

Polycab India is India’s leading wires and cables company and among the fastest-growing FMEG players, with a consolidated turnover of over Rs 224 billion in FY25. The company operates through 27 manufacturing facilities, 15 offices and 34 warehouses in India, supported by more than 4,300 authorised dealers and over 200,000 retail outlets. It has also served customers in 84 countries globally.

Ishwinder Singh Khurana, Executive President and Chief Business Officer (B2C), Polycab India, said, “Strengthening our distribution network is a key strategic priority for Polycab.
