V-Xpress building key logistics hubs in Karnataka

Aditya Shah, the CEO of V-Xpress, said the logistics firm would open more than 15 new outlets across Karnataka, a move expected to generate over 150 local jobs.

V-Xpress, the Mumbai-headquartered express cargo arm of V-Trans (India) Ltd, is sharpening its focus on South India, targeting key hubs, including Bengaluru and the industrial clusters of Narasapura and Dabaspet, as it expands its services in the region.

The logistics firm said it would open more than 15 new outlets across Karnataka, a move expected to generate over 150 local jobs and focus on Appointment Delivery service for the quick commerce and organised retail sectors. An appointment delivery is a pre-arranged date and time slot agreed upon by the shipper, carrier, and recipient to drop off or receive goods.

“Our Appointment Delivery service helps quick commerce and modern trade suppliers meet receiving schedules, reduce delays and keep goods moving efficiently,” said Aditya Shah, Executive Director, V-Trans (India) Ltd and Chief Executive Officer, V-Xpress.

According to him, the southern expansion will cover cities like Mangalore, Davangere, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Sirsi, Bagalkot, and Devanahalli, alongside industrial zones in Harohalli, Jigani, Bidadi, and Hindupur. “The new touchpoints aim to bring pickup and delivery services closer to manufacturing and commercial hubs,” Mr. Shah added while addressing a media conference.

As a Green Channel partner to major quick commerce platforms, V-Xpress manages B2B cargo around pre-agreed dates and confirmed warehouse receiving slots, the firm claimed. It also serves modern trade, retail chains, and Canteen Stores Department (CSD) locations.

Currently, V-Xpress supports these operations through over 40 dedicated centres offering 50,000 sq. ft. of combined storage space. The company handles roughly 10,000 tonnes of appointment-based deliveries monthly and aims to double this volume within the next year.

To improve operational efficiency, V-Xpress uses GPS tracking and electronic proof of delivery (e-POD), with partner platform API integrations nearing completion. Alongside its corporate logistics, the company is also promoting its door-to-door Box-N-Ship service to help students and individuals relocate personal belongings.
