Allcargo logistics expands reach to cover 100% of India’s PIN codes with new ‘Allcargo Extended Reach (AER)’ network

Allcargo Logistics Limited, post approval of the organisation’s restructuring plan, housing its domestic supply chain business; Express distribution and Consultative logistics, has announced a significant transformation of its domestic distribution network with the launch of Allcargo Extended Reach (AER), an upgraded and rebranded version of its earlier Extra Serviceable Stations (ESS). The initiative marks a major step in strengthening nationwide accessibility, enhancing service reliability, and deepening the company’s presence across emerging and underserved markets.

AER marks a major milestone in Allcargo Logistics’ ambition to deliver faster, more reliable, and more geographically comprehensive logistics services across the country. With this initiative, Allcargo Logistics now covers 100% of available PIN codes in India, expanding its network from 21,000 to more than 32,000 mapped PIN codes. This number is due to the company’s extensive mapping of locations, which represent granular service clusters within each GOI – PIN code. The company has also doubled its direct serviceable PIN codes from 4,900 to over 10,000, served directly through Allcargo Distribution Centres, driven by a broader location mapping a move that directly enhances speed, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Commenting on the development, Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Allcargo Logistics, said, “AER marks a new chapter in our domestic logistics journey. By expanding our direct serviceable PIN codes and mapping every available PIN code in the country, we are unlocking unprecedented speed, reliability and market access for our customers. With AI-driven planning, optimized distribution networks, and deeper last-mile reach, Allcargo Logistics is strongly positioned to power the next phase of India’s consumption-led growth. This expansion strengthens our mission to become India’s most trusted logistics partner. It enables MSMEs, digital-first businesses, and enterprises across India to access dependable logistics solutions that are essential for the country’s growing formal and digital economy.”

The expansion aligns with a phase where India’s logistics demand is rapidly spreading beyond major metros with Tier II, III, IV and remote regions becoming high-growth consumption hubs. Through AER, Allcargo Logistics now enables seamless access to some of the country’s most difficult-to-reach areas, including Port Blair, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, the Western Ghats, and the remote Northeastern belt. These improvements will substantially strengthen last-mile delivery and enable customers across industries to tap into new markets with improved consistency and predictability.

Allcargo Logistics has undertaken a major operational redesign and has implemented AI-led planning tools, intelligent routing systems, and fully digitalised workflows across its network. It has also expanded and optimised its hubs, line-haul routes, and on-ground operational infrastructure.

With AER, Allcargo aims to push India’s express and distribution landscape into a new phase of speed, predictability, and reach. The expanded footprint strengthens the company’s long-term vision of becoming India’s most trusted logistics partner while deepening its support for MSMEs, high-growth consumer markets and the country’s accelerating shift toward a more formal, digitally enabled economy. AER not only enhances last-mile access but also reinforces Allcargo Logistics’ commitment to powering India’s next phase of supply chain transformation.

Allcargo Logistics recently expanded and recategorized its Transshipment Centres from 21 to 71, to strengthen nationwide network and enhance connectivity, efficiency, and customer experience across India.
