Mumbai: Allcargo Supply Chain Private Limited (ASPL), the logistics arm of Allcargo Group, has announced its ambitious plan to increase its warehousing space by 3 million square feet within the next two to three years. Currently managing 6 million square feet of space, the company intends to kick off its expansion by focusing on the north and south regions.

This facility guarantees safe storage of hazardous chemicals, meeting international safety standards.

The mega complex of ASPL spans over 5.50 lakh sq ft and strategically sits 15 km from the port and 25 km from the Mumbai-Pune expressway. Equipped with cold storage options, in-rack sprinklers, and modern infrastructure, the facility prioritizes safety, compliance, and efficiency.
