Metro Expands Indian Presence with New Chennai Facility

Metro’s momentum in India continues to accelerate, with the opening of a second office in Chennai to support the ongoing expansion of Metro’s operations globally.

Designed to accommodate an additional 130 colleagues, this brand-new facility complements our existing Chennai headquarters and is a clear signal of our long-term investment in India.

This expansion marks another important milestone in Metro’s growth journey across the Indian Subcontinent. With the dual platforms of Metro Global India (MGI), delivering tailored services to select global customers directly in India, and Metro Indian Subcontinent (M-ISC), which serves as our Global Operational Centre (GOC), providing critical operational, accounting, financial, commercial, and administrative support for Metro’s global network.

India is fast becoming a critical operational hub and by the end of 2025, we expect to have more colleagues based in India than in our other global locations combined.

Metro’s Indian presence is powered by two critical pillars:

• Service excellence for our key global customers business in India, delivered locally through MGI’s expanding footprint.
• Global support services, delivered through M-ISC’s high-performance teams working across our advanced digital platforms.

This dual approach enables us to deliver tailored, efficient, and scalable solutions for customers in India and around the world, supported by deep local knowledge and global integration.

Our latest investment in Chennai is just the beginning. We have ambitious plans to grow further in the region, including the expansion of our specialist industrial sector division within MGI to meet increasing demand in this high-growth vertical.

Metro’s global expansion is driven by the needs and ambitions of our customers. As their operations grow in scale and complexity, we continue to build the teams, platforms, and facilities needed to support them locally.

Grant Liddell, Metro’s Chief Executive Officer commented. “We are incredibly proud of our Indian teams and their contribution to Metro’s global success. Congratulations to all colleagues in Chennai and across the country on this latest achievement and thank you for your continued commitment to delivering excellence for our customers worldwide.”
