A fulfilment network, sited and verified

From a mother warehouse on NH-48 to last-mile sheds in the city, each node has its own belt, size and spec. We match the building to its role in your network, then verify the land and compliance underneath.

• 2: major ports: Chennai & Kattupalli
• ~₹29: shed rent, per sq.ft monthly
• NH-48: Chennai-Bengaluru freight spine
• 4: node roles across the network

What the mandate turns on

• The right box for the role: Clear height, dock ratio, floor load and circulation are matched to whether the node is primary storage, regional distribution or last-mile.
• Network, not single site: Mother, regional and last-mile nodes are sited as a system, so highway reach and city access work together rather than against each other.
• Compliance and land verified: Building plan sanction, fire and floor-load compliance and the title and zoning of the land are checked before a lease is signed.
• Power and cold-chain readiness: For cold chain and automation, power redundancy, DG backup and slab loading are confirmed against the operation, not assumed.

Two ports, a highway spine and a manufacturing base make Chennai a natural distribution hub for the south. Indicative third-party context, for orientation, not a quote.

Figures are indicative third-party estimates and vary by source, grade and period. Chennai's warehouse demand is anchored by the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam manufacturing belt, the northern Gummidipoondi and Ennore port corridor, and the GST Road and Vandalur stretch for city distribution and last-mile, served by Chennai and Kattupalli ports and the NH-48 freight spine.

The specification is the visible part. Whether the land is clean on title, correctly zoned and the building fully sanctioned is what protects a multi-year logistics lease. LandLens checks the asset, not the brochure.

Infrastructure

• Chennai Peripheral Ring Road (132 km) (Under construction): A freight ring from Ennore to Mamallapuram opens large warehousing catchments at Mappedu, Sriperumbudur and the GST road while keeping trucks out of the city core.
• Multi-modal logistics park, Mappedu (Planned): A proposed PM Gati Shakti park consolidates road, rail and port freight north-west of the city, a natural mother-warehouse location.
• Kattupalli & Ennore port expansion (Under construction): Northern port capacity growth deepens container and cold-chain demand along the Gummidipoondi-Ennore logistics belt.
• Dedicated Freight Corridor links (Approved): Rail-freight connectivity upgrades improve hinterland reach for distribution out of Chennai across the south.

Our process

1. Network design: Demand, SKU profile and service levels mapped into node roles and locations.
2. Verified shortlist: Buildings and land shortlisted after title, zoning and compliance checks clear.
3. Negotiate & document: Rent, escalation, fit-out and exit terms negotiated per node; leases documented.
4. Fit-out & go-live: Racking, compliance sign-off and handover supported across the network.

Frequently asked questions

How do you design a fulfilment network in Chennai?

We map demand, SKU profile and service levels into node roles, mother warehouse, regional DC, last-mile and cold chain, and site each on the belt that fits its job. The node tool above shows the belt, size and spec profile of each.

Which belts suit warehousing in Chennai?

Sriperumbudur and Oragadam for large primary boxes near NH-48, the northern Gummidipoondi and Ennore corridor for port-linked and cold-chain space, and the GST Road and Vandalur stretch for regional and last-mile distribution.

What clear height and spec should I look for?

It depends on the node. Primary boxes favour 12 metres or more of clear height with high dock counts; regional DCs sit around 10 to 12 metres; last-mile hubs are smaller and lower. We match the spec to throughput and verify compliance.

Do you handle cold chain and automated facilities?

Yes. For cold chain and automation we confirm power redundancy, DG backup and slab loading against the operation, since these are decisive and expensive to retrofit.

What do you verify before a warehouse lease?

Title and zoning on the land, the building plan sanction, fire and floor-load compliance and any encumbrance on the asset, so each node in the network is signed on verified ground.
