Goods Transport & Logistics Services in Ludhiana
Part load, full trucks, container trucking and warehousing from Ludhiana's industrial areas to the rest of India, through verified, GST-registered transporters.
Ludhiana is Punjab's industrial capital, and its freight reflects thousands of small and medium manufacturers rather than a few large plants. Hosiery and woollen knitwear, bicycles and their parts, auto components, hand tools, sewing-machine parts and fasteners are made across the city's Focal Points and industrial areas and shipped all over India. Its dry port at Dhandari Kalan connects it to the western ports for export.
