Mumbai will host India's largest single-location Grade A warehousing and industrial park at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) SEZ in Navi Mumbai. The park spans 4.45 million square feet, featuring 3.95 million square feet of warehousing, 0.25 million square feet each for offices and industrial space, and parking for over 600 trucks. Strategically located near JNPA, highways, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai Airport, it will benefit businesses in sectors like chemicals, FMCG, and pharmaceuticals. Offering GST exemptions and logistical cost savings of up to 15%, the facility aims to enhance port efficiency, support exports, and create over 5,000 jobs.
Mumbai will now host India's largest single-location Grade A warehousing and industrial park at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) Special Economic Zone in Navi Mumbai. The facility, developed in collaboration with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), has an annual throughput capacity of 36,000 TEUs. It is designed to accommodate over 400,000 pallet positions and has parking provisions for more than 600 trucks.
This large-scale logistics ecosystem is set to cater to the growing demand in the region, contributing to the local economy by generating direct and indirect employment for more than 5,000 people. Originally planned as a 1.2 million square feet park with an investment of INR 700 crore, the project has now been significantly upscaled to around 4.45 million square feet of built-up area. This includes 3.95 million square feet of warehousing space, 0.25 million square feet of Grade A office space, and 0.25 million square feet of industrial space. The expansion is in response to the increasing export-import demand at the JNPA Port.
The site, strategically located within 5 kilometres of the port terminals and with direct vessel access, benefits from proximity to critical transport networks, including National Highways, the Dedicated Freight Corridor (West), the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), and the forthcoming Navi Mumbai Airport. This prime location provides a significant logistical advantage.
Welspun One's facility is set to cater to businesses across various sectors such as chemicals, automotive, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, offering integrated and cost-efficient logistics solutions. The company highlighted that the facility will address the historical constraints of the region's SEZ/FTWZ segment by providing an efficient logistics hub with essential amenities.
The logistics park also enjoys various benefits due to its location in a notified Special Economic Zone (SEZ), including Goods and Services Tax (GST) exemptions, customs duty deferment, faster customs clearance, and reduced detention or demurrage risks.
The strategic location, tax and customs benefits, and integration with the port ecosystem make this facility an ideal hub for international businesses seeking to optimize their supply chains and reduce costs. The project promises to improve logistical efficiency at the port, providing businesses with substantial cost savings of up to 15 per cent.
