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.

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.
