TVS ILP will invest around
₹125 crore in the project; it anticipates its completion by the end of December
2024 thus the company expands in eastern markets. “Now we are focusing on
Siliguri in Sikkim and Guwahati in Assam. We are strong in South India and from
the southern region we want to move to the eastern region of India and that’s
where our primary focus is now,” said Manikandan Ramachandran, chief operating
officer, TVS ILP, in a recent interview.
The upcoming facility, with
its presence at a strategic location at the confluence of the Mumbai and
Chennai-Kolkata highways (off NH 55), enjoys excellent connectivity to the
Paradip port and the major parts of the country.
The Cuttack logistics park is expected to generate over 110 direct jobs
and between 500 to 1,000 indirect employment opportunities in the region.
Plans are underway to
certify the park with the Edge Advanced Green Building certification issued by
the International Finance Corporation.
Ramachandran, said, “The
Choudwar Industrial Estate has immense growth potential, and our new facility
aims to enable businesses to efficiently cater to the rapidly growing demand
from the eastern part of the country…This
facility is a step further in our commitment to build industrial parks every
400 km in India. As the first player to explore the market, we desire to
remain steadfast in our aggressive expansion plans into the Eastern markets.”
“In addition to the Cuttack
project, TVS ILP remains committed to exploring similar opportunities in other
Tier-2 towns in Odisha, building on its successful track record as the first
national logistics park player to enter the state,” it reads.
