Our Story

Distribution Logistics Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd (DLI), formerly known as Vikram Logistic & Maritime Services Pvt Ltd (VLMS) is owned by Infrastructure India Plc. (IIP), a close-ended infrastructure fund, registered in the Isle of Man in UK and listed on AIM London.

With over 40 years of experience in handling and transportation of cargo and containers, DLI initially started out as a material/ cargo handling company and started handling steel movement for TISCO from 1975.

  • VLMS was originally promoted as a partnership firm in 1972 by Mr. C. Viswanath Iyer and his wife, Mrs. Rajalakshmi Viswanath. It was converted to a private limited company in 1992 and the name of the Company was changed to VLMS in 2006.
  • The company, then, diversified into handling and transportation of containers for Indian Railways until 1989 and subsequently for Container Corporation of India Ltd. (Concor).
  • The company started creating infrastructure for logistics in 2007 with infusion of equity by M/s Guggenheim Partners. In 2011, it was acquired by IIP.
  • In March 2013, DLI (formerly known as VLMS) acquired the Logistics Division of ETA Engineering Pvt. Ltd. with a Category-1 Rail License operating under the brand of ‘Freightstar’ to create a Pan-India entity.
  • After the acquisition of the logistics division of ETA, the company rebranded itself from VLMS to DLI.
