MISUMI Group Launches D-JIT Procurement Service in India

MISUMI Group Introduces D-JIT in India

On March 2, 2026, MISUMI Group, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, will launch its D-JIT service in India, aiming to revolutionize the procurement process for manufacturers facing increasing demand. This innovative service eliminates waiting times for quotes and delivery adjustments, facilitating a more efficient supply chain for large orders. As the Indian manufacturing sector expands, driven by industries such as electronics, automotive, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, D-JIT is poised to support this growth by connecting multiple suppliers and enhancing supply capabilities.

The Indian e-commerce landscape for manufacturing is still in its early stages. Traditionally, many businesses in India rely on direct negotiations, resulting in lower online B2B transaction rates compared to countries like Japan, the US, and various European nations. However, several reports suggest that the Indian B2B market is projected to grow fivefold by 2030, indicating substantial opportunities for MISUMI and other B2B e-commerce businesses.

The D-JIT service allows MISUMI to cater not only to small quantities of machine parts typically demanded by manufacturing equipment but also to larger orders in the hundreds or thousands. By leveraging a network of over 700 global suppliers and integrating inventory data in real-time, D-JIT significantly raises the availability of products on the MISUMI e-commerce platform. This integration reduces the hassle of sourcing from suppliers with available stock, thus streamlining the procurement process for buyers.

MISUMI's D-JIT service has already been successfully deployed in regions including Japan, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Europe, the United States, and Mexico, with a cumulative user base surpassing 100,000 companies. The innovative nature of D-JIT has been recognized with multiple awards, showcasing its impact on customer value and service innovation.

Background of Service Launch

The growth of the Indian manufacturing sector has been impressive, fueled by advancements in IT and service industries. The demand for massive procurement needs has surged, particularly among assembly businesses in various sectors. Given the high price sensitivity in the Indian market, MISUMI’s Economy Series products used in D-JIT are expected to resonate well with local buyers.

The service caters to a variety of products, predominantly bolts and shafts, mirroring the offerings available in previously introduced markets. Companies in India will benefit from the extensive, integrated inventory capabilities, allowing them to find necessary parts quickly and efficiently.
