What does Cold storage mean in logistics?
Short answer
A warehouse with insulated, refrigerated chambers held at chilled or frozen temperatures. Facilities may be single-commodity or multi-commodity, with separate chambers for different ranges.
A large share of Indian cold storage capacity is used for potatoes and other produce, and capacity is concentrated in a few states. Pharma and frozen-food shippers usually need facilities with temperature mapping, alarms and backup power. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
