IndoSpace, India’s leading supply chain infrastructure platform, has launched IndoSpace Chakan V, its largest industrial and logistics park in the country. Spread across 188 acres in MIDC Chakan near Pune, the project involves an investment of USD 120 million and marks the company’s eighth park in the region, bringing IndoSpace’s Pune footprint to 525 acres.

Strategically located along major highways—including the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Pune-Nashik Highway, and Bengaluru-Mumbai Industrial Corridor—the park ensures seamless connectivity to key industrial hubs and ports across western India. The location is also supported by rail infrastructure.

Pune’s Chakan–Talegaon belt saw a 6.7 million sq ft absorption in 2024, driven by demand from sectors such as automotive, engineering, electronics, and 3PL. IndoSpace Chakan V aims to meet this growing need with built-to-suit facilities, smart infrastructure, and sustainability-first features.

Anshuman Singh, MD & CEO, said, “With IndoSpace Chakan V, we are strengthening our ability to support the evolving requirements of India’s industrial growth and logistics transformation.”

The park includes RFID-enabled smart systems, low-carbon materials, LED lighting, EV bikes, auto-repair centres, childcare facilities, and sports zones, reinforcing IndoSpace’s commitment to sustainable, future-ready development.
