Air India SATS Airport Services (AISATS) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samsung Data Systems India for seamless cargo movement of Samsung products manufactured at its Noida facility through the AISATS Multi Modal Cargo Hub at Noida International Airport. The MMCH, spread across 87 acres, has an annual handling capacity of approx. 255,000 metric tonnes of cargo in phase 1 at its Integrated Cargo Terminal. The strategic proximity to Samsung’s manufacturing unit will enable faster cargo throughput, reduced transit time, and improved access to export markets driving profitability.
As Noida stands as one of the world’s largest mobile manufacturing clusters producing smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices, this partnership will significantly enhance cargo efficiency. It provides a streamlined export pathway for high-value electronics shipments, further strengthening India’s position as a leading electronics exporter with Samsung SDS playing a pivotal role in logistics digital transformation. India’s electronics exports have increased to an all-time high, reaching approximately USD 47 billion in calendar year 2025, with a growth of nearly 37% over the previous year. Electronics goods are the third-largest export category in the country, driven largely by mobile phone shipments, which crossed USD 15 billion in FY24. With India’s electronics produce projected to reach USD 240 billion by 2030, such partnerships will play an important role in enabling scale, speed, and global competitiveness.
The partnership further aligns with AISATS’ vision of building world class cargo infrastructure that supports India’s growing manufacturing and export industry. The Multi Modal Cargo Hub at Noida International Airport has been designed as an integrated logistics zone, combining air cargo operations with multimodal connectivity to ensure faster and more reliable cargo movement.
Sharing his thoughts about the collaboration,Ramanathan Rajamani, CEO, AISATS, said, “India’s role as a global manufacturing hub, particularly in electronics, requires logistics infrastructure that is agile, reliable, and at par with international standards.
