The Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida Limited (IITGNL) has initiated the groundwork for India’s largest Multi-Modal Logistics Hub (MMLH) at Bodaki near Dadri, issuing a tender to finalize an expert agency for the project.
The ₹5,881-crore facility, developed under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), will serve as a national logistics nerve center — connecting manufacturing and export zones in Noida and Greater Noida with both the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFCs) and, eventually, the Noida International Airport at Jewar.
Strategic Location at the Heart of India’s Freight Network
Spread across 311 hectares, the MMLH’s location gives it unmatched connectivity advantages.
“This junction at Bodaki — where both dedicated freight corridors meet — makes it the most strategic site for logistics integration in North India,” said Ravi Kumar N.G., CEO of IITGNL.

The hub’s proximity to the Delhi–Howrah railway line and NH-91 will allow seamless transfer of cargo between rail and road systems. Plans also include a dedicated railway siding and long-haul track for direct cargo movement between the DFCs and the logistics hub — enabling high-speed goods transit to ports, airports, and industrial clusters nationwide.
A Freight Village for the Future
Designed as a large-scale freight village, the MMLH will integrate multiple facilities —
Container and bulk cargo terminals
3 million sq ft of warehousing (expandable to 12.5 million sq ft)
0.3 million sq ft of cold storage, with potential growth to 1.2 million sq ft
Value-added service zones for packaging, assembly, and distribution
Offices, weighbridges, parking, fuel stations, and essential utilities
The project will be executed on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) framework. In its first phase, the hub is expected to handle 0.74 million TEUs of containerized cargo and 6.7 million tonnes of bulk freight annually.
Timelines, Bidding, and Implementation
According to the tender, queries from interested bidders will be accepted until November 28, 2025, followed by a pre-bid conference on December 8. The final bid submission deadline is February 6, 2026, with technical bids opening on February 9.
The selected private partner will finance, construct, and operate the hub, while DMIC IITGNL, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) jointly promoted by the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust (NICDIT) and the Uttar Pradesh government, will provide land and external infrastructure.
Officials said the project aligns with the Centre’s plan to improve cargo efficiency, reduce logistics costs, and establish multi-modal connectivity across India’s industrial corridors.
Catalyst for Economic Transformation
With the Noida International Airport set to open by late 2025, the Greater Noida MMLH is expected to become a gateway for northern India’s exports, supporting manufacturing, warehousing, and cold-chain industries.
“The MMLH will revolutionize freight handling and create a new ecosystem for industrial logistics,” said Ravi Kumar N.G. “It’s a defining moment for Greater Noida’s transformation into a global trade and logistics hub.”
