Mega logistics hub planned near Varanasi-Chandauli border

Varanasi will soon get a multimodal logistics park as the city is witnessing growing investor interest that is reshaping its urban landscape and positioning it as a tier-II alternative to NCR and Lucknow. Spearheaded by the development of a 150-acre MMLP near the Varanasi-Chandauli border, the city is rapidly evolving into a logistics powerhouse—sparking a surge in real estate development and investor interest across key peripheral zones. The MMLP, a joint project between National Highways Logistics Management Limited (NHLML) and the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), is designed to integrate road, rail, and waterway transport systems. Once operational, the park will have direct access to the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor via a 5.1 km rail line from Jeonathpur Station, be connected to National Highways 2 and 7, and benefit from proximity to National Waterway-1 through the Varanasi inland terminal. Besides, the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport lies just 30 km away, completing a multimodal ecosystem tailored for industrial efficiency.
