The first of several greenfield warehouses that Rhenus Logistics India aims to construct in India is already under construction.
The site is being finalised, and according to VivekArya, managing director of Rhenus Logistics India, it may be in one of the three major cities: Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai.
“We are considering putting up our first warehouse, which will be owned and run by us, in one of the major metropolises, such as Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai. This building may be 100,000 square feet or 200,000 square feet in size. After evaluating the results, alternative sites and locations may be considered.”
Elaborating the reasons to move into its own owned and operated warehouses as against the leased model that Rhensus follows Arya said, “we decided to move into this because we want to create facilities with highest standards of warehousing, which are globally met in terms of the quality of the building from RCC structure to good PV sheds with highest EHS standards in the warehouse.”
“We will start the journey sometime end of this year. And maybe it’s not appropriate to throw a number at the moment in terms of investment because a lot is under discussion and on the drawing board stage,” Arya added.
