Allcargo Logistics revealed plans to invest Rs 1,000 crore in building a large warehouse at Pratham Dealmark Industrial Park in Dankuni, West Bengal. The investment represented a major milestone for the state’s warehousing and logistics industry and was anticipated to bolster Dankuni’s standing as a key hub for industrial, distribution, and supply-chain activities.

The proposed warehouse facility was anticipated to meet the rising demand for modern logistics infrastructure fueled by industrial growth, e-commerce, organised retail, and changing distribution systems. Situated strategically in Dankuni, the facility was anticipated to leverage the area’s access to Kolkata and major industrial and consumer markets, facilitating the smooth movement, storage, and distribution of goods.

The announcement was made by Ms. Nishita Katriar, Managing Director, Pratham Dealmark Private Limited; Mr. Ram Walase, CEO – Real Estate & Head – Global Procurement, Allcargo; Mr. Soumitra Banerjee, CEO, Pratham Dealmark Private Limited; and Ms. Ananya Kaushik, Director, Pratham Dealmark Private Limited.

The investment was anticipated to substantially increase organized warehousing capacity in the region and help businesses with effective storage, inventory management, transportation, and distribution services. The project has the potential to generate both direct and indirect job opportunities in warehousing, logistics, transportation, facility management, and related industries.

The development underscored the increasing significance of integrated logistics infrastructure in bolstering West Bengal’s industrial and commercial expansion. Pratham Dealmark Industrial Park was designed to support large-scale warehousing and logistics activities, while Allcargo Logistics’ investment underscored the growing need for contemporary supply-chain infrastructure in well-positioned industrial areas.

The proposed warehouse project was anticipated to further establish Dankuni as a key logistics and warehousing center and to bolster West Bengal’s wider goals of enhancing its industrial infrastructure and supply-chain capacity.
