The Growth of Cold Logistics and Supply Chain in Pune
In recent years, the cold logistics and supply chain sector in Pune has experienced remarkable
growth. A combination of factors—ranging from Pune’s strategic location to the increasing
demand for temperature-controlled storage and transport—has positioned the city as a key
player in India's cold chain industry. This rise is transforming not only local businesses but also
has broader implications for India’s food and pharmaceutical supply chains. In this blog, we
explore the drivers behind this growth, the challenges the industry faces, and the potential
future of cold logistics in Pune.
Pune's geographical location makes it an ideal hub for cold chain logistics. Nestled near major
cities like Mumbai and industrial regions, Pune is a crucial node in the transportation network
of western India. With proximity to the coast, international airways, and highways leading to
major markets, Pune has emerged as a distribution center for temperature-sensitive products
like fruits, vegetables, dairy, seafood, and pharmaceuticals.
The presence of several food processing and pharmaceutical companies in and around the city
has accelerated the demand for efficient cold storage and transport facilities. Pune also
benefits from its growing status as a tech-driven city, where smart logistics solutions are making
it easier to manage and optimize cold chain operations.
The growth of cold logistics and supply chain infrastructure in Pune is playing a vital role in
meeting the city’s rising demand for temperature-sensitive goods. As the industry evolves, Pune
is well-positioned to become a key cold chain hub in India, driving improvements in food
security, healthcare, and efficient supply chain management. By addressing current challenges
such as high operational costs, energy inefficiencies, and gaps in infrastructure, the cold
logistics sector can achieve sustainable growth.
