Amira Nature Foods has expanded its distribution network with the establishment of new distribution centres in 15 major cities across India.
This will allow the company to cater to the growing demand of its packaged Indian specialty rice and other products.
The new company-managed distribution centres are located in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Ranchi, Surajpur, Vijayawada and Zirakpur.
Amira Nature Foods chairman Karan A Chanana said: "The new company-managed distribution centers are a great addition to our efforts to grow in our home country.
"We expect the DCs to generate higher service levels of fill rates, inventory turnover and faster replenishment which should result in greater market penetration and higher margins. We believe these investments will drive future growth for years to come."
Amira offers branded packaged Indian specialty rice and other products in over 60 countries.
The company primarily sells Basmati rice, which is a premium long-grain rice grown only in certain regions of the Indian sub-continent, under its flagship Amira brand as well as under other third party brands.
