The NX Group regards the Indian market as one of its most important bases for realizing its long-term vision of becoming "a logistics company with a strong presence in the global market." The Group has set a target of expanding the revenues from its Indian operations to ¥60 billion (approximately $400 million) by 2028, roughly triple the 2023 level. It currently operates 103 business locations and 60 warehouses (with a total area of approximately 4,499,000ft2) across 39 cities in India.

As the core agency leading the development of infrastructure for the semiconductor and display industries, ISM is seeking to propel India to global leadership in electronics manufacturing and design. Guided by advice from international experts, it collaborates with government ministries and agencies, industry, and academia to carry out the "Programme for Development of Semiconductor and Display Ecosystem in India" (also known as the Semicon India Programme) in an integrated and efficient manner. The Indian government's "ISM 2.0" semiconductor strategy has extended support to cover the advanced packaging, equipment, chemical, gas, and material sectors as well, anticipating participation from Japanese companies.

This visit was conducted to discuss logistics collaboration between the NX Group and ISM in developing India's semiconductor industry and laying the groundwork for accelerating the construction of a logistics hub in the Dholera area of Gujarat. The Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR) is a new industrial planned city located along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) that hosts a cluster of semiconductor and electronic component-related companies, and railway, road, port and other infrastructure is being systemically developed.

NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS Executive Officer Yasuhiro Okanishi and NX Group India Representative Teruaki Nagoya welcomed the delegation led by ISM CEO Amitesh Kumar Sinha. Discussions ensued on warehouse plans in Dholera, progress on railway development, potential government support, land utilization by the NX Group, and expansion into other regions. Both parties agreed to strengthen their collaboration going forward and jointly promote the enhancement of logistics infrastructure to support the semiconductor industry's growth.

The NX Group will continue expanding its global network and providing high-quality logistics services to customers worldwide.
