Besides Pune, it is also working on building industrial logistics and warehousing parks in Chennai and Nashik, where it owns around 200 acres and 77 acres, respectively. It is also scouting for land at other warehousing hubs such as Bhiwandi (near Mumbai), Kolkata, the NCR and a few locations in Bangladesh.
