Contract Logistics Pvt. Ltd., a part of the Varuna Group, has built a state-of-the-art multi-user facility (MUF) at Shambhu Naka in Punjab with a single block covering an area of 4.3 lakh sq. ft. in 21 acres with construction quality conforming to the National Building Code – 2016 and compliant to all State and Central Government warehousing norms. This is a complete dust-free facility that provides industry-specific solutions with variable transaction charges.
Shambhu Naka is a strategic location from the logistics point of view in the Patiala district of Punjab. Historically it has been deconsolidation point for part load truck capacity in upper north.
Post GST this area has emerged as an ideal point for both consolidation & deconsolidation of goods for industries due to its close proximity to Punjab, Himachal, Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir. Big logistics enterprises like Varuna Group, DHL, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser, etc., have also found the region suitable for setting up base, thanks to the favorable business conditions.
Rajpura in Patiala district is regarded as a ‘Gateway of Punjab’ as roads and rail transport need to touch Rajpura for the routes going to other major cities of Punjab as well as Jammu & Kashmir. It is an industrial town housing a number of large-scale industries like Hindustan Unilever, Bunge India Pvt. Ltd., SIEL Chemicals Ltd., etc. The grain market of Rajpura is one of the largest in Asia.
Ambala town in the same belt is home to one of the largest and oldest airbases of the Indian Air Force. It’s an important railway junction and well connected by road by NH1 (GT Road).
Contract Logistics’ new MUF will be suitable both as a consolidate point from upper north manufacturing plants to the rest of India and distribution point for goods coming from the rest of India to Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana.
Contract Logistics along with the Varuna Group is able to provide end-to-end logistics services and due to its operating efficiencies, state-of-the-art infrastructure and trucking, it claims to be able to provide 5-10% lower costs to clients.
