Main Object Clauses
- To carry on the business of logistics, supply chain management, freight forwarding, cargo handling and transportation of goods by road, rail, air and sea, and to act as clearing and forwarding agents.
- To establish, operate and manage warehouses, cold storages, container freight stations, inland container depots and fulfilment centres for the storage and distribution of goods.

NIC Code: 49/52 — Land transport and transport via pipelines; Warehousing and support activities for transportation
Related Licences & Registrations
- GST registration (multi-state): logistics companies cross state lines constantly — one state registration is rarely enough.
- Transport permits under the Motor Vehicles Act: needed for every commercial vehicle the company operates.
- FSSAI registration: required for warehouses storing food products.
ROC Filing Notes
- ‘Clearing and forwarding agent’ is standard accepted language — but the actual customs broker business needs a separate CBIC licence; the MOA alone does not grant it.
- Warehousing and transport can sit in one MOA; MCA does not require separate companies for these activities.
- If the company will own a large vehicle fleet, consider a separate asset-holding structure later for tax efficiency — but that is a tax conversation, not an MOA problem.
