In the fast-evolving landscape of supply chain management, Baweja Automotives Pvt. Ltd. (BAPL) has steadily emerged as a trusted partner in warehousing, logistics, and distribution. With operations that span across major logistics hubs in India, the company has built a strong foundation of reliability, speed, and customer-centric innovation.
A Journey Rooted in Transport Legacy
The origins of BAPL are deeply tied to the entrepreneurial vision of its promoters, who initially began their journey through Ahmedabad Roadlines Pvt. Ltd. (ARL). Established as a trucking business, ARL quickly grew in scale and reach, serving marquee clients such as Samsung and LG. This legacy in road transport set the stage for BAPL’s expansion into integrated logistics and warehousing solutions.
In 2008, Mr. Litesh Baweja joined ARL with the aim of diversifying and scaling the business. A visionary leader with a go-getter attitude, he spearheaded the company’s entry into the two-wheeler automobile segment and expanded its operations to new domains. Alongside him, Mr. Rohiet, who had already been instrumental in scaling ARL’s operations and client base, played a crucial role in the company’s shift toward warehousing and value-added logistics.

BAPL’s services today cover the complete spectrum of supply chain needs—from warehousing and inventory management to last-mile delivery.

l BAPL’s success is underscored by key milestones achieved in recent years:

Leadership That Inspires
With over 24 years of industry experience, Rohit has been pivotal in expanding operations and securing BAPL’s first-ever large-scale warehousing project. His ability to blend operational excellence with customer relationship management has set high standards for the company. Meanwhile, Litesh Baweja’s strategic foresight has ensured diversification and long-term resilience in the business.
Looking Ahead
BAPL’s vision is to continue scaling its warehousing and logistics operations while embedding technology, automation, and sustainability at the core of its future growth.
