The National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) has secured approval from a key government panel to develop a ₹5,942 crore Multi Modal Logistics Centre (MMLC) in Dadri, Greater Noida. The strategic project received clearance from the Public-Private-Partnership Appraisal Committee (PPPAC), chaired by Finance and Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth.
Situated at the intersection of the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors, and connected to NH34, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming Jewar International Airport, the facility is poised to become a central freight hub for the National Capital Region.
Spread over 334 hectares, the MMLC will be built in three phases. It will feature mechanised warehouses, cold storage, and specialised facilities for containerised, bulk, and break-bulk cargo. Value-added services like stacking, labelling, and cross-docking will also be offered.
Designed to handle 1.44 million TEUs and 7.8 million tonnes of non-containerised cargo annually, the project will include three million sq. ft. of warehousing and 0.3 million sq. ft. of cold storage. Developed under the PPP model, the contract will go to the private player offering the highest minimum guaranteed revenue share over a 45-year concession. Over 90% of the required land has already been acquired.
