What Chartered Logistics does

Chartered Logistics Limited is a publicly listed Indian B2B logistics company, incorporated in 1995 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, with stock listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE: CHLOGIST, code 531977). It operates a multi-modal integrated logistics platform spanning freight forwarding (sea, air, land), ship operations and port agency services, road transport (FTL and LTL, including temperature-controlled, ODC, and hazmat-certified vehicles), warehousing and distribution (bonded and general warehouses, VMI, cross-docking), order fulfillment, and end-to-end supply chain management. The company serves mid-market and large enterprise B2B clients across India, with a stated operational footprint of 50+ branches, 300+ owned fleet vehicles, and 1,000+ attached market vehicles, concentrated in West and North India trade corridors.

The technology stack centers on a cloud-based ERP integrated with a Transportation Management System (TMS) and a Warehouse Management System (WMS), supporting AI-driven route optimization, predictive analytics, automated order management, and real-time GPS tracking. Operational integrations include E-way bill monitoring, FASTag, IoT devices, and API connectivity to customer ERP/eCommerce platforms (including SAP). A client-facing portal provides live tracking, electronic proof of delivery (ePOD), and management information system (MIS) reporting. The company also markets a Sustainability Services line covering alternative-fuel vehicles, solar-powered warehouses, and carbon-offset partnerships aligned with ESG goals.

The business model is B2B and transaction- plus managed-service based. Revenue is generated through freight charges and handling fees on freight forwarding, per-distance/weight/cargo transportation fees on road transport, storage and handling fees on warehousing, managed services contracts and consulting fees on supply chain management, per-order/unit processing fees on order fulfillment, and professional services fees on ship and port agency work. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management, direct outreach via phone and email, and a 50+ branch pan-India network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
