The Agartala facility, covering 1.3 lakh sq ft, has been strategically located to enhance connectivity with key consumption and production centers across Tripura, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and Manipur. It also establishes a strong platform for cross-border trade with Bangladesh, supporting supply chain efficiency and regional trade integration.

Hemant Sikka, Managing Director & CEO of Mahindra Logistics, said the new facilities demonstrate the company's commitment to redefining the logistics landscape in Eastern India. He highlighted that these warehouses not only expand the distribution network but also serve as gateways to the Northeast, supporting businesses and industries in reaching previously underserved markets.
As part of the 'Go-East' strategy, Mahindra Logistics has already developed 1 million sq ft of multi-client warehousing space across the region. The company plans to extend express logistics services to over 800 pin codes, reflecting its focus on improving accessibility and efficiency across Northeast India. The expansion is expected to create more than 2,000 job opportunities, with a workforce composition that aims for 50 per cent diversity from local communities, ensuring inclusive growth.
