Multimodal Transport Operator of the Year / 2026 / Afghanistan
Ghazanfar Transport is a core logistics and transportation arm of the Ghazanfar Group, one of Afghanistan’s leading private-sector conglomerates with a legacy rooted in trade along the historic Silk Road. The transport business sits at the center of the Group’s vertically integrated ecosystem, supporting its extensive operations in oil and gas, energy, trading, and infrastructure.
Operating within a challenging and landlocked geography, Ghazanfar Transport has developed specialized capabilities in the movement of petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), aviation fuel, and bulk commodities across Afghanistan and into Central Asia. Its fleet consists of fuel tankers, LPG carriers, and aviation refueling vehicles, all equipped with tracking and safety systems to ensure reliability and compliance in high-risk operating environments.
The company plays a critical role in enabling Afghanistan’s energy supply chain. Working closely with Ghazanfar’s oil and gas division—which imports, stores, refines, and distributes fuel nationwide—Ghazanfar Transport ensures the continuous flow of energy products from border entry points and storage terminals to end users across the country. This includes servicing industrial clients, aviation operations, and retail fuel networks.
A key operational hub is the Ghazanfar logistics and port infrastructure at Hairatan, near the Uzbekistan border. Here, transport operations are integrated with rail-linked terminals capable of handling large volumes of petroleum, LPG, and dry cargo. The facility connects to regional rail networks and supports multimodal distribution, with trucks moving cargo inland after rail processing.
Beyond fuel logistics, Ghazanfar Transport supports a broader integrated logistics offering established in 2004, providing end-to-end supply chain solutions including storage, trans-shipment, and distribution services. Through this network, the company serves sectors ranging from automotive and manufacturing to humanitarian and defense logistics, positioning itself as a key enabler of trade and economic activity in Afghanistan.
With modern fleet assets, trained personnel, and investment in communication and surveillance technologies, Ghazanfar Transport has established itself as a reliable logistics provider in a complex operating environment. Its role extends beyond transportation—it is a strategic backbone for energy security, trade facilitation, and industrial continuity in Afghanistan and the wider Central Asian region.
