Agni Group Inaugurates New Logistics Center in Hetauda; Launches Mahindra Bolero Neo SUV and Jeeto EV Variants

Agni Group has expanded its logistics infrastructure in Nepal with the inauguration of a new logistics center in Hetauda. Operated under Agni Logistics Pvt. Ltd., the facility was officially opened during a special event on July 23, 2025 (7 Shrawan 2082). Alongside the inauguration, Agni Incorporated Pvt. Ltd. also introduced two new Mahindra vehicles to the Nepali market: the Mahindra Bolero Neo SUV and the Mahindra Jeeto EV, offered in both delivery van and pickup configurations.

The ceremony was attended by key figures including Bhupal Baral, Chief Secretary of Bagmati Province, and Cabinet Shrestha, Chairperson of Agni Group, as well as senior representatives from both Agni Group and Mahindra & Mahindra. A commemorative plaque was unveiled to mark the opening of the Hetauda logistics center.

The newly launched Mahindra Bolero Neo is a multi-purpose SUV built on Mahindra’s third-generation Scorpio chassis. It features a 1493cc mHawk100 BS6 engine, a spacious 384-liter boot, and a seven-seater configuration with premium Italian leather interiors. The vehicle has been designed for both family and commercial use, with comfort and utility in mind. Agni Group positions it as a reliable option for Nepal’s diverse road conditions and transportation needs.

The Mahindra Jeeto EV was introduced in two electric variants—a delivery van and a pickup truck—under Mahindra’s Last Mile Mobility segment. Designed specifically for urban and short-distance delivery services, the Jeeto EV is equipped with a 30kW electric motor and offers a range of up to 160 kilometers on a single charge. It comes with a three-year or 125,000-kilometer battery warranty, making it an attractive choice for businesses looking for cost-effective and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.

The logistics center in Hetauda is part of Agni Logistics’ growing national network, which now includes four facilities located in Kathmandu, Hetauda, Bhairahawa, and Itahari. Each center has been strategically placed near major highways and airports, providing easy access to Nepal’s key commercial regions. These facilities offer modern warehousing infrastructure, including pallet positions, long-span shelving systems, and climate-controlled storage options.

The Hetauda facility covers over 33,000 square feet and offers a storage capacity of 2,200 cubic meters. Similar warehousing capacities exist across the group’s other centers, with Bhairahawa offering the largest footprint at over 37,000 square feet. All centers are equipped with forklifts, powered pallet trucks, and safety systems such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and 24-hour CCTV surveillance. Additionally, Agni Logistics uses digital inventory management systems to monitor stock movement in real time.

Beyond warehousing, Agni Logistics provides third-party logistics (3PL) services that include procurement, customs clearance, vendor coordination, import-export documentation, and nationwide distribution. The company operates a mixed fleet of general carriers, platform trucks, and pickup vehicles, all supported by trained drivers and GPS tracking systems. It also performs pre-delivery inspections on goods before dispatch, ensuring quality and accuracy in every shipment.

The new logistics centers also bring together other Agni Group services under one roof. These include vehicle financing from Agni Hire Purchase, display and sale of Mahindra’s SUVs and electric vehicles through Agni Incorporated, two-wheeler sales via Agni Moto-Inc, and construction equipment through Agni Equipment. Mahindra servicing and spare parts are available through Balaju Auto Works, while certified pre-owned SUVs are sold via Agni Aastha.

Agni Logistics operates with a clear ambition to raise the bar for Nepal’s logistics sector. With a focus on efficiency, safety, and technology, the company aims to provide businesses with dependable storage and distribution solutions. According to Agni Group, the development of modern logistics infrastructure like the Hetauda center is not only a business milestone but also a contribution toward Nepal’s broader industrial and commercial growth.
