V-Xpress expands in Karnataka with new hubs and local jobs

Logistics firm V-Xpress plans to open over 15 new outlets across Karnataka as part of a major push into South India.

Expansion Details

Aditya Shah, CEO of V-Xpress, announced that the expansion will create more than 150 local jobs in the state. The company is targeting key cities such as Mangalore, Davangere, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Sirsi, Bagalkot, and Devanahalli. It will also cover industrial zones like Harohalli, Jigani, Bidadi, Hindupur, Narasapura, and Dabaspet.

Services Offered

The new touchpoints aim to bring pickup and delivery services closer to manufacturing and commercial areas. The firm focuses heavily on an Appointment Delivery service for quick commerce and organized retail sectors. This service uses pre-arranged date and time slots agreed upon by the shipper, carrier, and recipient to drop off goods. V-Xpress currently runs over 40 dedicated centres with 50,000 square feet of storage space. The company handles about 10,000 tonnes of appointment-based deliveries every month and aims to double this amount within the next year.

Technology and Consumer Offerings

To boost efficiency, the company uses GPS tracking and electronic proof of delivery, while finishing up partner platform API integrations. Alongside its business cargo operations, V-Xpress is promoting its door-to-door Box-N-Ship service to help students and individuals move personal belongings.

Context

Logistics firms often expand their warehouse networks and local touchpoints to support the fast-growing quick commerce and retail sectors in major industrial states like Karnataka. Setting up hubs closer to manufacturing centers helps companies reduce delivery times and manage high volumes of goods more efficiently.
