CCI Group announced an additional investment of approximately Rs 640 crore in developing a Grade A Logistics park spanning 20 lakh square feet in Phase 2, Polivakkam, Chennai. This follows the company's earlier investment of Rs 250 crore in Phase 1, reinforcing its commitment to expanding world-class logistics infrastructure in the region.
With this latest investment, CCI Group has now allocated a total of Rs 890 crore towards the Polivakkam logistics hub, positioning it as a key player in India's Warehousing and Supply Chain ecosystem.
This expansion is structured into two segments, Phase 2A, a standard requirement facility set to be operational by mid-2025, and Phase 2B, dedicated to built-to-suit (BTS) solutions tailored to industry-specific needs.
With Chennai emerging as a key logistics and supply chain hub in South India, this modern facility will cater to diverse Industries, including E-commerce, Automotive, FMCG, and Manufacturing. Built to global standards, it will feature FM2 flooring for enhanced load-bearing capacity and seamless goods movement, automated shutters, and passive air ventilation, ensuring six air changes per hour for improved air quality.
The facility is designed to provide optimal space utilisation, enabling clients to plan their heavy-load racking systems and high-clearance bays efficiently, ensuring operational efficiency across various sectors. While the facility does not include pre-built temperature-controlled zones, they can be customised under the Tenant Improvement Scheme (TIS) to meet specific requirements. Designed for flexibility, the facility will operate on a plug-and-play model, allowing businesses to deploy and scale operations with ease quickly.
The facility will integrate a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to treat wastewater, which will be reused for gardening and flushing needs. Additionally, solar power systems will be installed as a step towards green energy, reducing reliance on conventional power sources. Built-in skylights will further enhance energy efficiency by maximising natural lighting. The facility will be integrated with advanced fire protection systems, including hydrants, sprinklers, and fire alarms for enhanced safety.
Currently, CCI Group is serving over 1,000 clients across diverse industries such as E-commerce, retail, chemical, FMCG, healthcare & pharma and automotive. With 48 years of industry expertise, the company has built a strong nationwide presence across 48 cities, managing over 15 million square feet of owned warehouses and logistics parks. Its operations are driven by a skilled workforce of over 1,000 professionals and a fleet of 1,200+ vehicles. Moreover, CCI has expanded its footprint globally, operating in over 105 countries while maintaining a significant presence at more than 20 airports and seaports across India.
Naresh Sharma, Managing Director of CCI Group, said, "Polivakkam is a key hub in CCI's long-term expansion plans. The region is steadily becoming a logistics hotspot due to its proximity to the Sriperumbudur-Oragadam industrial cluster. By establishing this new facility, CCI Group wants to attract industries reliant on high-quality storage facilities and also strengthen the economy in the region. This expansion not only enhances our logistical capabilities but also underscores our unwavering commitment to provide scalable and flexible solutions to clients that align with global standards."
