Over the past ten years, the National Capital Region (NCR) has undergone an enormous shift in its supply chain. The two National Capital Region logistics corridors at the heart of this move are found in the Gurugram district: Bilaspur and Farrukhnagar.

Though previously dominated by agriculture, this area now has millions of square feet worth of Grade A warehousing facilities. From e-commerce giants and 3PL aggregators to OEMs and FMCGs, the most prominent companies have made use of this corridor for their main distribution centers.

Connectivity breakdown: KMP Expressway & Strategic Highways

Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway acts like a high-speed ring road around the National Capital Region. The table below shows how Bilaspur and Farrukhnagar take full advantage of this road to remove transportation obstacles.

Logistics Node / HighwayStrategic Route ConnectivityDirect Operational Benefit
KMP ExpresswayCircumferential outer bypass encircling DelhiBypasses Delhi urban traffic, nocturnal entry bans, and municipal tolls for inter-state trucks
Bilaspur Corridor (NH-48)Direct access to Delhi-Jaipur Highway & DMICConnects directly to Western ports (JNPT, Mundra) and manufacturing clusters in Manesar and Bawal
Farrukhnagar Belt (SH-15A / NH-352)Connects to KMP Expressway & NH-352 (formerly NH-71)Links seamless freight traffic to Rohtak, Jhajjar, and Northern Haryana consumer markets

Post-GST Consolidation & Tax Benefits

Before the introduction of GST, businesses had numerous small warehouses at the state level to evade the Central Sales Tax. The new single taxation system has changed how the supply chains are structured:

  • Regional Distribution Hubs : Large warehouses may now be used instead of small godowns to serve Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, and Western UP from a particular site.
  • Economies of scale : Large warehouses provide benefits of efficiency to their users in the form of reduced costs per square foot due to the consolidated utilities, security systems, etc.
  • State policies : Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy provides capital subsidies, stamp duty refunds, and SGST concessions to the developers of large logistics parks.

Close to Consumer and Manufacturing Locations

The warehouses in these corridors have an advantage because they are in proximity to densely populated consumer areas and heavily populated industrial regions:

  • Consumer Reach : The distribution centers in Bilaspur and Farrukhnagar can cater to the demand of over 30 million consumers all over the Delhi-NCR within a time frame of 2 to 4 hours.
  • Industrial Synergy : The local industrial units like IMT Manesar (automotive industry), Bhiwadi, and Bawal constantly need raw material storage, logistics for getting goods in, and component storage.
