In a move that underscores its long-term commitment to India’s growing logistics sector, CJ Logistics Corporation, South Korea’s largest logistics company, has infused $32 million into CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd. This strategic investment raises CJ Logistics’ equity stake in the Indian logistics leader from 50% to 56%, marking a new chapter in the collaboration between the two companies.



Strengthening a Strategic Alliance

The partnership between CJ Logistics and CJ Darcl began in 2017 when the KOSPI-listed Korean logistics giant acquired a 50% stake in DARCL Logistics Ltd., which was subsequently renamed CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd. This infusion of fresh capital is a combination of Primary and Secondary transactions and reflects CJ Logistics’ deep-rooted belief in the Indian market and its strategic interest in expanding its global footprint.



Driving Growth and Innovation

The $32 million funding will strengthen CJ Darcl’s capital base and fuel its next phase of growth. The investment will be deployed strategically to bolster the company’s nationwide multimodal logistics infrastructure, including:



Expansion of logistics terminals



Development of advanced warehousing capabilities



Integration of digital supply chain solutions



Adoption of alternative fuel platforms for sustainable logistics



This capital support positions CJ Darcl to accelerate its transformation into a future-ready, tech-driven logistics leader.

Enduring Partnership and Shared Vision

While CJ Logistics now holds a 56% stake, the remaining 44% continues to be held by the founding Darcl Promoters and their affiliates, maintaining continuity and trust within the ownership structure.



K.K. Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd., stated,



“This investment underscores CJ Logistics Corporation’s strong belief in our vision and performance. It is a testament to the trust we have built over the years and to our shared mission of transforming India’s logistics landscape. The capital will enable us to scale our integrated offerings, invest in next-generation technologies, and drive sustainable growth. We are creating a future-ready logistics enterprise that blends Indian depth with global excellence.”



Gwon Woong Kim, Head of APAC Headquarters, CJ Logistics Corporation, added,



“India is entering a transformative era in logistics and remains a cornerstone of CJ Logistics’ global strategy. Just as we witnessed a shift from unorganised to organised infrastructure in Korean markets during the 1990s, we see India poised for similar acceleration. Through deeper collaboration with CJ Darcl, we are committed to driving innovation and delivering high-efficiency logistics solutions that support India’s evolving supply chain ecosystem.”



A Nationwide Impact

CJ Darcl has established a pan-India footprint with nearly 200 branches, serving over 2,000 customers across industries. Powered by a workforce of 5,000+ professionals, the company delivers end-to-end logistics services, combining asset-based operations with technology-led efficiency.



India’s Logistics Sector on the Rise

This investment comes amid a wave of investor interest in India’s logistics industry, spurred by government-led infrastructure development, policy reforms, and a heightened focus on digitalization and green mobility. As one of the most prominent integrated logistics players in the country, CJ Darcl is now better positioned than ever to lead this transformation.
