- Apana Logistics Limited provides integrated container logistics, transportation, and cargo handling support services across India. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, with primary corporate and operational facilities in Mumbai, Maharashtra, the company caters to port authorities, Container Freight Station operators, Inland Container Depot operators, shipping lines, and third-party logistics providers. The company operates a specialized fleet of material handling machinery and transport vehicles across key maritime and inland logistics hubs, including Nhava Sheva, Goa, Whitefield, and Pawarkheda.
The company delivers its core operations through several systematic service categories: Container Handling Services, which encompass mechanized loading and unloading of standard ISO and DSO shipping containers, container yard stacking, empty container depot management, and rail wagon-to-trailer transfers; Road Transportation Services, comprising short-haul and long-haul containerized cargo cartage, port-to-terminal transit, and intermodal freight movement utilizing dedicated multi-axle truck-trailers; Cargo Handling and Warehousing Support, including container stuffing, de-stuffing, cargo segregation, aggregation, survey handling, customs examination assistance, and third-party warehouse management; and Fleet Operation and Maintenance Services, providing on-site technical support, equipment leasing, and maintenance for specialized machinery such as reach stackers, hydraulic cranes, and industrial forklifts.
In recent developments, the company converted from a private entity into a public limited company in December 2024 to support corporate scaling and capital restructuring. In September 2026, Apana Logistics completed its Initial Public Offering on the BSE SME platform, raising approximately 34.14 crore rupees in fresh capital. The company allocated the net issue proceeds toward capital expenditure for the acquisition of additional reach stackers and modern material handling equipment, strengthening its operational capacity, improving turnaround efficiency, and broadening its service footprint across major logistics corridors in India.
