MUMBAI, India, Nov 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Welspun One, India’s fastest-growing new-age logistics and industrial real estate manager, is investing $325M in the country’s largest single-location ‘Grade A’ warehousing and industrial park at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Navi Mumbai (India). Originally envisaged as a 1.2 million sq. ft. park which entailed an investment of ~$84M, the company has now upscaled the size of the project to ~4.45 million sq. ft. of BUA to cater to the growing export-import demand arising at the JNPA Port.
JNPA, handling ~35% of India’s maritime traffic, is the largest container port by throughput. This prime location presents an unprecedented opportunity for the SEZ/FTWZ segment to scale, particularly as the region has historically faced constraints in integrated facility solutions. Welspun One’s facility addresses this gap by offering businesses across sectors like chemicals, automotive, FMCG, pharmaceutical, and electronics with an integrated, cost efficient logistics solution in a high potential area.
