India has long been a major global economic powerhouse and, with its strategic location between Africa, Asia, and Oceania, an important logistics hub. The Militzer & Münch country unit launched in August 2024 has already established itself successfully in the market.
Even in times of geopolitical and economic tension, India remains a stable growth market: the Indian Ministry of Finance is forecasting GDP growth of 6.5 percent for 2025. Export volumes are also up slightly, driven by products from the electronics, mechanical engineering, and pharmaceutical sectors. M&M Militzer and Muench (India) Private Ltd. is a reliable partner for these and many other industries, such as fashion and retail.
Militzer & Münch handles road transport, air and sea freight, and project logistics for its customers in India, both domestically and for import and export. M&M India also offers value-added services such as customs clearance and warehousing. India is set to become an important hub in the Militzer & Münch network, particularly for shipments to and from China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Militzer & Münch currently operates at eight of India’s most important locations: Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chennai, Coimbatore, Kochi, and Kolkata. “We are exactly where our customers need us,” says Surendrasingh Panwar, Country Manager India. “That is our great strength. Our experts know the logistics market in India inside out and always find the right solution for our customers.”
Air freight is booming
Militzer & Münch India focuses on air and sea freight, project logistics, and express services. The company has both an IATA and a breakbulk license.
India is well on its way to becoming the world’s third-largest aviation market in the near future, which makes the segment all the more important for Militzer & Münch. The country unit currently already handles 50 tons of air freight per month – and the target for 2026 is to break the 2,000-ton mark. Militzer & Münch is particularly well versed in the demanding and time-critical AOG sector.
Especially in the pharmaceutical sector, India is considered an emerging market. The huge and growing population and an ever-expanding middle class are driving demand for medicines, particularly generics, cancer drugs, and vaccines. Around 20 percent of the global volume of generics is already produced in India. So, the need for pharmaceutical transport is also growing. Militzer & Münch has made a name for itself in India in this area as a reliable service provider with high, regularly monitored quality and hygiene standards.
Just the beginning
Now that Militzer & Münch India has successfully established itself on the market in a short period of time, the focus is on further increasing market penetration. The declared goal is to open up new trade routes and win customers from other industries.
“We have made a very good start, but that was only the beginning,” says Surendrasingh Panwar. “We expect further growth. The potential in the domestic market and in transports to and from India is far from exhausted.”
