V-Xpress building key logistics hubs in Karnataka
Under Southern expansion, the company will cover cities like Mangalore, Davangere, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Sirsi, Bagalkot, and Devanahalli, alongside industrial zones in Harohalli, Jigani, Bidadi, and Hindupur
V-Xpress, the express cargo division of V-Trans (India) Ltd based in Mumbai, is intensifying its presence in South India by establishing logistics hubs in key locations such as Bengaluru, Narasapura, and Dabaspet. The company plans to open more than 15 new outlets across Karnataka, a move that is anticipated to create over 150 local jobs and concentrate on appointment delivery services for quick commerce and organized retail sectors.
Appointment delivery refers to a pre-scheduled date and time slot for the pickup or delivery of goods, agreed upon by the shipper, carrier, and recipient.
Aditya Shah, Executive Director and CEO of V-Xpress, explained that the appointment delivery service aids quick commerce and modern trade suppliers in meeting receiving schedules, reducing delays, and ensuring smooth transportation of goods. The company's expansion will extend to cities like Mangalore, Davangere, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Sirsi, Bagalkot, and Devanahalli, as well as industrial zones in Harohalli, Jigani, Bidadi, and Hindupur.
Mr. Shah emphasized that these new touchpoints aim to bring pickup and delivery services closer to manufacturing and commercial hubs.
As a Green Channel partner to leading quick commerce platforms, V-Xpress manages B2B cargo for pre-arranged dates and confirmed warehouse receiving slots. The firm also caters to modern trade, retail chains, and Canteen Stores Department (CSD) locations. Currently, V-Xpress operates through 40 dedicated centers, providing a combined storage space of 50,000 sq. ft. The company currently handles around 10,000 tonnes of appointment-based deliveries monthly, with an objective to double this volume within the next year.
To enhance operational efficiency, V-Xpress employs GPS tracking and electronic proof of delivery (e-POD), with partner platform API integrations nearing completion. Apart from its corporate logistics, the company also promotes its door-to-door Box-N-Ship service to assist students and individuals in relocating personal belongings.
