Q3 FY19 Financial & Operational Performance

India Food Grid: Redefining Food & FMCG Supply Chain in India

FSC has identified 38 locations across the country, based on a comprehensive study, which will be developed into large food and FMCG distribution centres completing the jigsaw puzzle of making one India Food Grid. Consumer products will get distributed from an IFDC to retail stores in a radius of up to 225 kms. In this journey, the life of each retail store serviced by India Food Grid would be simplified and they would focus on serving customers for their entire food and FMCG needs. This will help improve overall supply chain efficiencies, lead to better inventory management and help increase availability of consumer products at locations where the demand is. With the development of FSC India Food Grid, stock availability and visibility will be ensured at all times, consumer will get fresh products faster and there will be reduction in the inventory holding at the DC.
