YCH Group to invest ₹10 billion in India logistics expansion

Singapore-headquartered supply chain and logistics company YCH Group has announced plans to invest up to ₹10 billion in India over the next three to five years, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the country’s growing logistics and warehousing sector.

The planned investment will be directed towards developing large-scale, technology-enabled logistics parks and integrated supply chain infrastructure to meet rising demand from sectors such as electronics, e-commerce, aviation and semiconductors.

YCH Group, which has been operating in India for the past 17 years, currently manages operations across 60 locations in 40 cities and employs nearly 1,500 people, including contract workers. The company expects its India business revenue to grow nearly threefold from the current ₹4 billion to between ₹12 billion and ₹15 billion over the next three years.

The company’s first major expansion is planned near Sriperumbudur in the Chennai region, where YCH already operates its largest facility in India. The facility comprises a 3.5 lakh sq. ft. warehouse spread across a 20-acre campus with a storage capacity of around 45,000 pallet positions.

The proposed Chennai logistics district park is expected to attract investments of approximately ₹4 billion to ₹5 billion, covering land acquisition, warehouse infrastructure, automation systems and advanced racking solutions. YCH has approached the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) for additional land allocation to support the expansion.

Following Chennai, the company plans to develop similar integrated logistics district parks in Bengaluru and Mumbai/Bhiwandi, while also evaluating opportunities in Hyderabad and Bhubaneswar. These logistics parks are expected to span 30 to 40 acres, with built-up areas ranging from 5 lakh sq. ft. to 10 lakh sq. ft.

“India is emerging as one of the most important supply chain and manufacturing destinations globally, driven by rapid industrial growth, digital commerce, and increasing demand for resilient logistics infrastructure. Our planned investments reflect YCH’s long-term commitment to building future-ready, technology-driven supply chain ecosystems in India,” said Jossy Sebastian, Country General Manager – India, YCH India.

“We see significant opportunities in sectors such as electronics, e-commerce, aviation and semiconductors, where speed, precision and operational visibility are becoming increasingly critical. Through these integrated logistics parks, we aim to deliver world-class warehousing, automation and supply chain solutions that support India’s next phase of industrial and economic growth,” Sebastian added.

YCH’s India operations currently support several high-growth industries through advanced warehousing, in-plant logistics, just-in-time inventory management, reverse logistics and spare-parts fulfilment capabilities. The company is also investing in automation technologies, including warehouse management systems, robotics, IoT-enabled infrastructure and AI-driven logistics capabilities to improve operational efficiency and scalability.
