What does Depot mean in logistics?
Short answer
A regional stocking point from which a company serves distributors or customers in its area, fed by primary transport from plants.
Indian manufacturers often run one depot per state or region, either company-operated or through a C&F agent, partly to hold stock close to demand and partly for GST registration in that state. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
