ESR has leased 309,000 sq. ft. of prime warehousing space to Tata Croma, India’s first and trusted Omni-channel electronics retailer from the Tata Group. With Croma’s strong vision to become the no 1. Omnichannel electronics retailer in the country, this facility will help scale their logistics operations and optimize delivery timelines to cater to the North India market, mainly NCR, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh.
Croma’s distribution center is within ESR Sohna Logistics Park, a 76.84-acre development strategically located inside the KMP loop and will ease and effectively optimize the last-mile delivery challenges in Delhi and neighboring regions.
The park has congestion-free access to Delhi, Gurugram and Noida, and parts of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, accessibility to a skilled workforce from adjoining villages and proximity to the urbanization cluster of Gurugram and Faridabad.
Sohna is poised to become the most strategic warehousing destination in the north. Recent and upcoming infrastructure developments will aid the region’s accessibility and enable quicker access to Delhi NCR.
The 21 km Sohna elevated road will provide signal-free access from Gurugram to Sohna, and once fully operational, this road will reduce travel time by 15-20 mins. The stretch from Badshahpur to Sohna is already operational, and the connection between Rajiv Chowk and Badshahpur, has opened this month, making this route the fastest connection between the distribution center and Gurugram and Delhi.
