FedEx is planning to invest $150 million to build an integrated air cargo hub at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, according to multiple reports. The facility is set to be located at GMR Cargo City, the airport’s cargo area. The hub is intended to expand cargo and package processing capabilities and improve air connectivity for freight moving between Delhi and markets served by FedEx’s global network.
The outlets describe the project as part of broader efforts to strengthen India’s cargo and logistics infrastructure, particularly in North and East India. Times of India specifically highlights an increase in processing capacity, saying the hub is expected to handle a substantially higher volume of packages per hour once operational, though the exact targets vary in emphasis across reports. Business Line also frames the investment around enhanced connectivity for businesses exporting and importing goods.
While all sources agree on the investment size, location, and purpose, their angles differ: some focus on connectivity benefits, others on throughput and scaling of package handling, and others note that construction is expected to begin soon. No source provided detailed timelines for completion or operating start dates in the excerpts shared.
