Singapore-based logistics company YCH Group plans to invest as much as ₹1,000 crore in India over the next three to five years, driven by growing demand for organised warehousing, automation, and tech-enabled supply chain solutions. Key demand is coming from sectors such as electronics, e-commerce, and semiconductors.
The company, which has been present in India for 17 years, expects its revenue to rise sharply from ₹400 crore to around ₹1,200–1,500 crore within the next three years. It currently operates across 60 locations in 40 cities and employs about 1,500 people, including contract staff.
Chennai-led expansion strategy
YCH’s first major expansion is planned near Sriperumbudur in Chennai, where it already runs its largest facility in India. The site spans 20 acres with a 3.5 lakh sq ft warehouse and storage capacity of around 45,000 pallet positions.
The proposed logistics district park in Chennai is expected to attract ₹400–500 crore in investment, covering land, infrastructure, automation systems, and advanced warehousing technology. The company has also sought additional land from the Tamil Nadu government’s industrial promotion body.
Multi-city logistics parks planned
YCH is developing a long-term plan to build large integrated logistics “district parks” of 30–40 acres, with warehousing space ranging from 5 to 10 lakh sq ft. After Chennai, similar hubs are planned in Bengaluru and Mumbai/Bhiwandi, while Hyderabad and Bhubaneswar are also under consideration.
Focus on electronics and semiconductors
Electronics is a core growth area for YCH, which currently works with more than 30 global suppliers. It manages inventory in special economic zones and supports just-in-time supply chains for manufacturers.
The company also handles finished goods distribution, reverse logistics, and spare parts logistics for sectors like electronics, telecom, and ATMs. It is now exploring entry into India’s semiconductor logistics segment, with plans for a Gujarat project targeted for 2027.
Automation-driven logistics growth
YCH is increasingly focusing on automation and digital systems such as warehouse management systems, transport management tools, and proprietary supply chain software. Technologies like robotics, IoT-enabled warehousing, AI-driven logistics, and automated storage systems are expected to play a major role as demand for faster fulfilment grows.
The expansion aligns with the rapid industrial growth of the Chennai–Sriperumbudur region, which is emerging as a major hub for electronics and advanced manufacturing in India.
