Allcargo Supply Chain has launched a state-of-the-art logistics park in Panapakkam, near Chennai, as part of its strategy to expand its southern footprint. Spread over 2.75 lakh square feet of Grade-A warehousing space, the facility is designed to serve as a multi-modal hub with direct connectivity to Red Hills, Chennai Port, Sri City, Sriperumbudur, and Oragadam.

The site features 32 docks with 16 dock levellers, a G+8 racking system, and a 5,000 sq ft mezzanine floor with office space. It has the capacity to handle 300 vehicles per day and throughput of nearly 60,000 tonnes a month. Around 400 contractual workers, largely from the local community, are expected to be employed each month.

The park integrates sustainability measures such as solar-ready rooftops, rainwater harvesting, LED lighting, water recycling, and stormwater management based on long-term rainfall data. According to Ketan Kulkarni, Managing Director, the facility will support key sectors including automobiles, e-commerce, and consumer durables while creating a future-ready logistics ecosystem in the region.
