Supply Chain, Logistics and Procurement Training in Noida
Our Noida centre is in Film City, Sector 16A, inside an economy that makes things and ships them. That is a different business from Delhi's, twenty-five kilometres away, and it changes which credentials are worth your time.
Noida runs on manufacturing and exports
Three facts define the local supply chain, and none of them apply to Delhi.
The Noida Special Economic Zone is, in its own words, "the only Central Government SEZ in northern India". Set up in 1985 on a 310-acre site in Noida Phase-II, it has "202 developed plots" plus "thirteen Standard Design Factory (SDF) complexes that can accommodate 208 units". Its key manufacturing subsectors include gems and jewellery, electronics hardware, handicraft, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles and apparel. Its territorial jurisdiction covers seven states and three union territories.
Electronics manufacturing is concentrated here. In August 2025 the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology inaugurated "India's first Tempered Glass Manufacturing Facility for Mobile Devices at Noida". MeitY has also notified a Greenfield Electronics Manufacturing Cluster of 99.41 acres at Ecotech-VI, Greater Noida, for mobile phones and accessories.
And Dadri is a freight corridor junction. The National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation describes the Multi Modal Logistics Hub there as "spread across 825 acre… positioned near the intersection of the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors", designed as a dry port offering "warehousing, customs clearance, value-added services, and freight handling under one roof".
That intersection is real and specific. DFCCIL confirms the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor runs "from JNPT to Dadri", and an Eastern DFC segment runs "Ludhiana (Dhandarikalan) - Khurja - Dadri". Most Indian cities are not on a dedicated freight corridor at all. Noida is at the end of one and the junction of two.
Looking ahead, Noida International Airport at Jewar includes what PIB describes as "a Multi-Modal Cargo Hub, featuring an Integrated Cargo Terminal and logistics zones… designed to handle over 2.5 lakh metric tonnes annually, expandable to around 18 lakh metric tonnes".
How Noida connects to Delhi
NSEZ states the position plainly: it is "a land locked SEZ, with the nearest point of exports being the Integrated Container Depots (ICDs) like Dadri, Tughlakabad and Patparganj as well as the airport in Delhi."
So Noida manufactures and Delhi is one of its gateways. If your job sits on the export documentation side of that relationship, this centre is the right one. If it sits on the government-buying side, our Delhi centre at Connaught Place is built for that instead.
Where you will sit your exam
Noida has its own Pearson Professional Center in Sector 16A, about 1.3 miles from our centre — one of the few Indian cities with a Pearson-operated site rather than only third-party centres. ASCM exams, including CPIM, CSCP and CLTD, are delivered through Pearson VUE test centres or online proctoring.
For CIPS, the only approved exam centre in India is in Bengaluru, so candidates here normally sit under remote invigilation. We are a CIPS approved study centre for India registered for distance learning, and we book exams on your behalf.
A scheduling note worth having early: CIPS runs five exam series a year plus a January sitting, but September and January are Objective Response only. The essay-style Constructed Response papers used at Diploma level run in March, May, July and November, so plan around four usable windows.
Which credential suits a Noida role
| If your work is | Consider | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Production planning, inventory, materials control in a factory | CPIM | This is the manufacturing credential, and Noida is a manufacturing city |
| Export documentation, SEZ compliance, customs paperwork | Freight forwarding and shipping routes, or CLTD | Matches NSEZ and the Dadri/Tughlakabad gateway work |
| Warehousing, transport and distribution planning | CLTD | Built for the logistics function end to end |
| Buying components and managing suppliers | CIPS Level 4, or CIPP | Supplier and contract management for a manufacturing base |
| Whole-chain strategy across plants and suppliers | CSCP | Breadth rather than one function |
CPIM leads this list for a reason. In Delhi we usually steer people away from it, because government and services work is not production planning. In Noida it is often the single most relevant credential on the page.
How we teach here
Programmes at this centre run online and in the classroom at Film City, depending on the course. Availability by format changes, so ask when you enquire.
The certifying body owns the syllabus and awards the credential; we prepare you for the exam. Any completion certificate we issue is for our training. ASCM credentials are awarded by ASCM, CIPS qualifications by CIPS.

Also in the NCR
Our Delhi centre at Connaught Place serves public-sector procurement, GeM tendering and air-cargo work. Different city, different economy, twenty-five kilometres apart.
