CJ Darcl secures $32 million investment, focusing on LNG, electric vehicles, and rail for its next growth stage.
CJ Darcl Logistics is poised to accelerate its growth in India, supported by a $32 million capital investment from South Korea’s CJ Logistics, which has raised its stake in the company from 50% to 56%.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Nikhil Agarwal, President of CJ Darcl Logistics, expressed that this investment will target four primary areas—road transport, multimodal logistics, warehousing, and technology.

“In road transport, we are looking into alternative fuels such as LNG and electric vehicles (EVs). In multimodal logistics, we’re enhancing our rail services—we currently operate approximately 150 rakes throughout India,” Agarwal mentioned. The firm also aims to expand its warehousing capabilities, which now span 2.5 million square feet across 20 facilities. “We intend to grow that further,” he noted.

Agarwal observed a growing demand for cleaner fuel solutions, spurred partly by client requests and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. “Some of our clients are requesting LNG. Original Equipment Manufacturers are now providing quality EV products, and LNG infrastructure is advancing. That’s why we’re optimistic about these solutions,” he explained.

The company functions as a B2B contract logistics provider, serving numerous key players in India’s industrial landscape. “We collaborate with the leading names in India’s industrial sector,” Agarwal stated, adding that CJ Darcl has been assisting clients in reducing emissions through rail, multimodal logistics, and cleaner fuel options.

CJ Darcl reported revenues of nearly ₹5,200 crore last year (FY25), showing about 15% growth. Agarwal indicated that a similar growth trajectory is anticipated in the upcoming years.
