V‑Xpress, a logistics and transportation company, disclosed plans to develop a series of new hubs as part of its Southern expansion strategy. The announced locations include major cities such as Mangalore, Davangere, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Sirsi, Bagalkot, and Devanahalli, as well as industrial corridors in Harohalli, Jigani, Bidadi, and Hindupur. By establishing facilities in these areas, the firm intends to reduce transit times, improve last‑mile delivery, and provide more reliable services to businesses that rely on timely freight movement.

The expansion comes at a time when Karnataka is witnessing increased demand for efficient logistics due to growth in manufacturing, e‑commerce, and agricultural exports. The new hubs are expected to create employment opportunities in warehousing, transportation, and ancillary services, contributing to the state’s economic development goals. Local authorities have welcomed the investment, noting that improved logistics infrastructure can attract further industrial projects and enhance the competitiveness of regional producers.

For customers, the broader network promises greater flexibility in routing shipments and potentially lower costs as the company leverages economies of scale. V‑Xpress also plans to integrate advanced tracking technology and automated handling systems at the new sites, aiming to boost reliability and transparency for shippers. Industry analysts will watch how quickly the hubs become operational and whether the expansion spurs similar moves by competing logistics providers.
