Snowman Logistics Limited, India’s leading provider of integrated temperature-controlled logistics services, has commenced construction of a new temperature-controlled warehouse in Pune. The facility is being developed under the Built-to-Suit (BTS) model by Whitecastle Infra, an experienced regional developer.

Snowman, which already operates 16,000 pallets in Pune, aims to capture the growing demand for high-quality cold chain services in the region. The upcoming warehouse, with a capacity of 5,900 pallets, is scheduled to become operational by June 2026.

The facility is designed to serve a wide range of industries prominent in the Pune area, including ice cream, chocolates, dairy products, quick service and fast food restaurants (QSR), coffee chains, meat, poultry, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial goods requiring temperature-controlled storage and distribution.

Commenting on the development, Ishaan Gupta, Director of Snowman Logistics, said,

“This new facility in Pune is a testament to our continued efforts to expand our footprint and provide world-class cold chain solutions through both owned and asset-light models. It will play a vital role in supporting the growing demand for temperature-sensitive logistics across diverse sectors.”

This expansion underscores Snowman’s commitment to strengthening India’s cold chain infrastructure across key consumption and production hubs. With an existing capacity of 154,330 pallets across 21 cities—including major markets such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Kolkata—the new Pune facility marks another milestone in the company’s growth journey.
