Nashik: Niphad Dry Port Set To Emerge As Major Multi-Modal Logistics Hub

District Collector Ayush Prasad proposed linking Lasalgaon and Pimpalgaon Baswant APMCs with Niphad Dry Port for agricultural exports, with later integration of other APMCs.

The Niphad Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) will serve as both an EXIM cargo hub and a domestic logistics park, with connectivity via Nashik–Chennai Highway, Nashik Ring Road, Samruddhi Mahamarg, Ozar Airport, and railway network.

JNPT Vice Chairman Ravish Kumar Singh stated the district's Economic Development Cell has been connected with JNPT's transport office to simplify export procedures.

Collector suggested linking the Centre's world's largest grain storage scheme with the Niphad Dry Port to improve storage infrastructure and benefit farmers and traders.

JNPT will participate in the District Export Promotion Committee meeting on August 4, 2026, as a key stakeholder.
