Shadowfax launches OneNCR, its largest automated sortation hub, with ₹50 Cr investment
Shadowfax Technologies has operationalized OneNCR, its largest automated sortation hub, with an investment of ₹50 Crore. The 2.1 lakh sq. ft. facility can process 48,000 shipments per hour and handle 10 lakh shipments daily. This expansion aims to enhance same-day and next-day delivery services.
The new facility represents a substantial investment and an increase in operational capacity, which could lead to improved service offerings and a stronger competitive position. However, the direct financial impact (revenue, profit) is not yet quantified, hence the medium impact.
The announcement details a significant investment in a new, large-scale automated sortation hub, which is expected to improve operational efficiency and delivery capabilities. This expansion is a positive development for the company's growth and market position.
Shadowfax Technologies Limited has announced the full operationalization of OneNCR, its largest automated sortation facility to date. This marks a significant investment of approximately ₹50 Crore (5000 Lakh) in a 2.1 lakh sq. ft. facility located in the NCR region.
The OneNCR hub is equipped with a state-of-the-art automated sorter capable of processing 48,000 shipments per hour, with a peak capacity to handle 10 lakh (1 million) shipments per day. This facility will serve as the primary engine for Shadowfax Prime, the company's dedicated same-day and next-day delivery vertical.
The facility operates on a high-efficiency single-touch model, enabling 80% of shipments to be directly manifested for last-mile delivery at the origin. This is expected to significantly reduce handling errors and transit times. The hub supports up to 80 direct linehaul routes bypassing intermediate hubs and can perform over 3,000 unique origin-level sorts. Additionally, specialized semi-automated lines can handle up to 20,000 shipments per hour, and specialized bag/box sortation can process up to 6,000 shipments per hour.
Abhishek Bansal, Chairman, Managing Director, CEO at Shadowfax, stated, "Network ownership is the bedrock of long-term operating leverage in the express business. Investing in OneNCR is a significant step toward building state-of-the-art sort centers that will give us a competitive advantage from both speed and cost standpoints."
This expansion positions Shadowfax to meet the growing demand for speed and reliability in India's D2C and e-commerce sectors, ensuring brands and marketplaces can offer seamless, time-definite delivery experiences.
