ABOUT THE EVENT

The CII Logis EAST 2025, held on 12 and 13 August 2025 in Kolkata, was a major milestone for the logistics and warehousing industry. Building on the success of the previous editions of the Logistics Colloquium, this upgraded event proved to be a dynamic platform for showcasing the latest innovations, trends, technologies, and skillsets driving the future of logistics and warehousing.

As India continues to invest in world-class infrastructure under programs like PM Gati Shakti, Sagarmala, and the National Logistics Policy, Eastern India has emerged as a vital corridor for integrated logistics development. The CII Logis EAST 2025 successfully harnessed this momentum by bringing together a diverse set of stakeholders—industry professionals, infrastructure developers, technology innovators, policymakers, exporters, and academia—for collaboration, innovation, and business generation.

Kolkata, strategically located in the Eastern region of India, serves as a critical hub for trade and logistics. The city’s proximity to major ports like Kolkata Port and Haldia Dock makes it an ideal gateway not only for domestic trade but also for international commerce, particularly with neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Myanmar. As the logistics infrastructure in the Eastern region continues to develop, this exhibition provided a unique opportunity to tap into the region’s growing importance in the national and global supply chain.

The exhibition covered multiple sectors such as transportation, warehousing, logistics technology, and skilling, offering exhibitors a unique opportunity to present cutting-edge solutions to a highly targeted audience. The concurrent Logistics Colloquium, a marquee conference, featured strategic dialogues on policy, sustainability, digital transformation, and investment, while the exhibition floor hosted live demos, product launches, and curated B2B meetings.

CII Logis EAST 2025 was not just a trade show—it was a forward-looking ecosystem enabler that accelerated the logistics transformation in Eastern India. It served as a catalyst for strengthening the region’s role in national supply chains, attracting investments, encouraging technology adoption, and building the skilled workforce of the future.

The exhibition brought together industry professionals, solution providers, thought leaders, government representatives, and businesses to explore advancements in supply chain management, warehousing solutions, logistics technologies, and sustainable practices. With the growing importance of logistics and warehousing in the context of India’s evolving infrastructure, digital transformation, and trade expansion, the event acted as a catalyst for industry collaboration, networking, and knowledge exchange.
