KRV GROUP

What KRV GROUP does

KRV Group is a privately held, family-owned Indian logistics and supply-chain conglomerate headquartered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, operating across nine wholly-owned subsidiaries including Kusum Roadlines Pvt Ltd (the principal operating entity), Yogendra Carriers Pvt Ltd, KRV Carriers India Pvt Ltd, and Kusum Ventures LLP. The group's operations trace back to 1905 as a New Delhi goods carrier and were formally established in 1925 by Late Lala Jay Prakash Rastogi; it is now in its fifth generation of family ownership. Its core business is B2B third-party logistics (3PL) serving enterprise FMCG, consumer goods, bath-and-lighting, and automobile clients through pan-India transportation, warehousing, C&F (carrying and forwarding agent) services, freight forwarding, and customs brokerage. Anchor enterprise relationships include long-tenured C&FA contracts with Adani Wilmar (since 2009), Jaquar (since 2016), and KRBL/India Gate Rice (since 2019), supported by an owned fleet of 100+ commercial vehicles and multi-state warehouse nodes across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, and Madhya Pradesh.

The group's technology platform centers on an integrated TMS, WMS, ERP, GPS telematics, e-way bill management, and digital document handling stack, with stated capabilities in real-time tracking, route optimization, preventive maintenance, RFID/VIN-level scanning, and limited AI-based demand forecasting and digital-twin simulation. Revenue is generated through transaction-fee pricing on freight, warehousing, and C&FA services, plus hardware sales from the Eicher Motors automobile dealership operated via Kusum Ventures LLP (since 2022). Pricing is custom-negotiated per multi-year contract, often linked to diesel-rate fluctuations, and the go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct corporate engagement, tender filings, and freight-agreement negotiation. Stated group revenue is INR 300 million (~$3.6M), though operational scale suggests this figure may understate consolidated revenue.

Recent strategic direction reflects vertical and inorganic expansion: the group added an Ashok Leyland acquisition in 2025 to its existing Eicher Motors dealership (2022), building a second revenue stream in automobile retail alongside logistics. Acquisition cadence has been near-continuous since 2009 across brand-CFA contracts, dealership assets, and operational entities. The group has no external institutional investors, no public-market listing, and ownership remains concentrated within the Rastogi family.
