24 Sep 2025 CW Team

ColdStar Logistics, India’s only independent and self-funded national cold chain player and one of the fastest-growing temperature-controlled supply chain companies, has strengthened its presence in key consumption hubs with three new facilities — two in Mumbai and one in Sonipat. The expansion is aimed at meeting the rising demand for fresh and perishable products, particularly from e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms.

The new hubs will handle, process, and distribute fruits, vegetables, and other perishables for leading online platforms. The Sonipat facility, spread across 80,000 sq. ft., can process 1,70,000 units (65 tonnes) per day, while the Mumbai hubs add another 2,20,000 units daily (1,40,000 from the F&V hub and 80,000 from the cold storage unit). Collectively, these facilities contribute over 3,200 tonnes of handling capacity and engage 1,100+ workers daily.

“Sonipat is a natural choice with its proximity to the New Delhi NCR area, while Mumbai remains one of India’s largest consumption centres,” said Sameer Varma, Executive Director, ColdStar Logistics. “Our facilities are designed to support the scale and speed that modern e-commerce and quick-commerce businesses demand. We are proud to partner with one of India’s largest platforms and are already exploring opportunities in East and Deccan India.”

This expansion underscores ColdStar’s ambition to set new benchmarks in India’s cold chain sector. By leveraging technology-driven solutions, the company aims to move products fresher, faster, and more reliably, ensuring greater efficiency and quality across the supply chain.
