Mahindra Logistics frees 12% working capital

Mahindra Logistics says it helped a global bearings and rotating-equipment manufacturer in India free up 12% of working capital through its business-to-business express network. (mahindralogistics.com) The company described the customer only as a century-old industrial manufacturer with plants in multiple Indian cities and end markets including automotive, energy, railways and aerospace. Mahindra Logistics said it has managed part-truck-load transportation for the account’s just-in-time operations from a centralized distribution center in Pune since 2020. (mahindralogistics.com) Mahindra Logistics said it reworked transportation planning with load consolidation and multi-destination routing, then added real-time dashboards and application programming interface integrations for shipment visibility. The company said it used its LogiXPS surface-express platform to track shipments and tighten control across the network. (mahindralogistics.com) The case study ties a logistics process change to a finance outcome. Working capital is cash tied up in day-to-day operations, and lower inventory holdings can release cash without adding factory capacity or new production lines. (mahindralogistics.com) Mahindra Logistics said the same program raised monthly volume handled by more than 200%, to 550 metric tons a month from 180 metric tons. It also said the network delivered better reliability for a manufacturer running on just-in-time production, where late parts can interrupt output. (mahindralogistics.com) The company has been making a broader argument that engineering and manufacturing clients want logistics that combines warehousing, distribution, express transport and cross-border services with software and tracking. Its engineering page says those sectors need movements that are traceable, scalable and aligned with production schedules. (mahindralogistics.com) Mahindra Logistics has also been expanding physical infrastructure around Pune, a major industrial hub. In June 2025, it opened a warehousing facility in Phaltan for Cummins India, saying the site would improve availability, visibility and nationwide distribution efficiency. (mahindralogistics.com) The latest case study leaves the customer unnamed, so the 12% figure comes from Mahindra Logistics’ own account rather than an independently attributed customer statement. Even so, the numbers show where the company is aiming its sales pitch: faster freight, lower inventory and more cash released from stock already on hand. (mahindralogistics.com)
