The Mumbai edition brought together more than 150 exhibitors and 50 product launches, with inaugural remarks from Dr P. Anbalagan and sector insights led by Umang Gupta alongside industry experts across warehousing, automation, logistics and cold chain operations.

The India Warehousing and Logistics Show 2025 and the India Cold Chain Show 2025 concluded in Mumbai after three days of strong industry participation, product launches and demonstrations that drew attention to the evolving needs of India’s supply chain and temperature-controlled sectors. Organised by RX India at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, the co-located events brought together more than 150 exhibitors, over 50 new product announcements and more than 100 live technology demonstrations, making this edition one of the most active gatherings for logistics and cold chain stakeholders.

This year’s shows highlighted a wide spectrum of warehousing technology, automation solutions, refrigeration systems and integrated cold chain infrastructure. Industry visitors engaged with manufacturers and solution providers offering new advances in material handling, real-time monitoring and temperature-controlled transport, reflecting the sector’s shift toward higher efficiency and digital readiness. Brands such as Craftsman, Gandhi Automation, Godrej Koerber, Avians, Metaflex Doors, Zebra Technologies, iSuzu, Munisuvrat Arham Industrial Park, Manik Engineering, Soti, Mettcover, Tempnote, Metafold Blue Cold Refrigeration, Puma Lift Trucks and Sika India were among those showcasing equipment and systems designed to support India’s modernising supply chain.

The event was inaugurated by Dr P. Anbalagan, Secretary, Department of Industries, Government of Maharashtra, in the presence of Prashant Khare from the Department of Atomic Research, Dr Gopal Mor from Musaddilal Projects, Mohit Kapoor from the Warehousing Association of India, Ajay Zadoo from the Central Warehousing Corporation, Chaitaly Mehta from EKF Global Logistics and the FFFAI Women’s Wing, and Abhishek Kumar from the Ministry of Defence. Their presence signalled the importance of strengthening infrastructure, regulatory alignment and industry collaboration across warehousing and cold chain networks.
Reflecting on the response to the 2025 editions, Umang Gupta, Country Head of RX India, said the participation demonstrated the sector’s confidence in the platform and its role in supporting India’s transition toward modern logistics. He noted that the convergence of innovators, policymakers and business leaders underscored the industry’s readiness to adopt new technologies and foster partnerships that strengthen supply chain performance across the country.

Alongside the exhibitions, the India Cold Chain Show Conference focused on the theme “Evolution of Cold Chains: Staying Ahead of the Curve”, bringing together more than 40 speakers from poultry, dairy, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, e-commerce, q-commerce and logistics. Representatives from Pladis Global, Mankind Pharma, LEAP, Nestlé, Mother Dairy, JustDeliveries, Hindustan Platinum, Nature’s Basket, ZappFresh, Vadilal Industries, Mondelēz International, Zomato and IBM discussed developments shaping the cold chain, including smart packaging, automation, data-driven monitoring and digital optimisation. The discussions emphasised that India, supported by strong manufacturing capabilities and growing regulatory frameworks, is emerging as an influential player in global cold chain innovation.

With Maharashtra continuing to expand as a logistics and cold chain hub, the 2025 editions of IWLS and ICCS offered companies and policymakers an opportunity to assess new technologies, understand regulatory trends and identify investment prospects across western and southern India. As the sector undergoes rapid transformation driven by demand for faster, safer and more efficient supply chain operations, the shows reinforced their role as key meeting points for decision-makers shaping the next phase of India’s logistics ecosystem.
