In India, efforts are underway as part of the government's semiconductor policy "Semicon 2.0 (*1)," to establish a comprehensive industrial ecosystem covering semiconductor design and manufacturing, manufacturing equipment and materials, and advanced packaging. Transporting precision semiconductor-related cargo requires not only vibration control but also measures to address infrastructure-related challenges in each region. Developing advanced logistics infrastructure is therefore essential.

The NX Group regards India as one of its most important markets for realizing its long-term vision of becoming "a logistics company with a strong presence in the global market." The Group has set a target of increasing sales from its Indian operations to 60 billion yen by fiscal 2028 and is expanding its logistics facilities and services, including plans to open a dedicated semiconductor logistics center in the Dholera area of Gujarat in 2027.

ISM is an initiative overseen by MeitY of the Government of India and a core agency leading the development of infrastructure for India's semiconductor and display industries. The two parties have held a series of discussions on developing logistics and warehouse infrastructure for India's semiconductor sector, including a visit by an ISM delegation to the NX Group Building in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (*2).

The signing of this MOU develops this dialogue and collaboration into a formal framework for cooperation. Leveraging their respective expertise and networks, the two parties will share information and exchange views on challenges related to the transportation of semiconductor-related cargo and logistics infrastructure and consider the appropriate forms of cooperation toward developing logistics infrastructure that supports India's semiconductor industry and realizing resilient supply chains.

The NX Group will continue leveraging its global network and logistics expertise to work with customers and partners in building sustainable supply chains and addressing social challenges.
