- **Phase 3: Western Maharashtra Expansion (Nashik, Pune Suburban, Kolhapur, Sangli, Solapur):** Connecting high-density urban residential hubs with regional craft and agri networks.
- **Phase 4: Konkan & Coastal Districts (Thane Rural, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg):** Deploying specialized logistics for coastal fisheries, horticulture, and tourism hubs.
