The MPEZ SEZ (Madras Export Processing Zone Special Economic Zone) has approved a fresh round of investment proposals worth more than ₹450 crore across Tamil Nadu, reinforcing the state’s position as a rapidly expanding hub for warehousing, logistics and export-oriented industrial infrastructure. The approvals are expected to create nearly 6,650 jobs across the Tamil Nadu, Andaman and Puducherry (TAP) region.
The latest approvals were cleared by the Unit Approval Committee (UAC) chaired by Arthur Worchuiyo, Joint Development Commissioner of MPEZ SEZ. The projects span sectors including warehousing and logistics, IT/ITES, engineering services, footwear manufacturing and nutraceuticals, reflecting the increasing diversification of Tamil Nadu’s industrial and supply chain landscape.
Among the most significant proposals is the project by Grand Atlantia Panapakkam SEZ Developers Private Limited at SIPCOT SEZ, Panapakkam in Ranipet district. The company plans to invest around ₹385 crore in developing its SEZ unit, with projected employment generation of over 5,000 jobs. Industry observers believe such large-format industrial and logistics developments will enhance warehousing capacity and improve supply chain connectivity for manufacturing clusters across northern Tamil Nadu.
Another notable approval involves Tamilnadu Nutraceutical Innovation Hub (TNIH) Private Limited, which will establish operations at the Integrated Chennai Business Park FTWZ in Ponneri. The Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) model is increasingly gaining traction in India as companies seek integrated storage, distribution and export facilitation infrastructure near ports and industrial corridors. The project is expected to support value-added logistics activities while generating new employment opportunities. Additionally, Impex received approval to set up a unit at SIPCOT SEZ, Bargur, further strengthening the state’s industrial supply chain ecosystem.
Tamil Nadu has been aggressively positioning itself as a preferred destination for manufacturing and logistics investments through infrastructure-led industrial policies, SEZ expansion and multimodal connectivity initiatives. Recent investment approvals across sectors such as electronics, aerospace, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing indicate a broader strategy to build integrated industrial and logistics corridors across the state.
With warehousing demand rising alongside export growth and industrial diversification, the latest MPEZ approvals are expected to accelerate the development of modern logistics infrastructure and strengthen Tamil Nadu’s role in India’s evolving supply chain network.

The Delhi government is set to introduce a new Logistics and Warehousing Policy aimed at modernizing freight movement, reducing traffic congestion, strengthening supply chains, and generating employment. In a move aimed at improving operational efficiency, warehousing, and logistics facilities may be allowed to operate 24*7 through a simplified single-window approval system. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the proposed framework will improve Delhi’s logistics ecosystem by boosting industrial growth, attracting investment, and enhancing the ease of doing business. The policy is expected to benefit sectors such as e-commerce, textiles, electronics, and food supply chains. Gupta noted that nearly 61 per cent of warehousing demand currently come from the e-commerce sector, expecting the policy to attract substantial investment in modern fulfilment infrastructure. As a part of the strategy, Urban Consolidation and Logistics Distribution Centres (UCLDCs) will be established in peripheral areas for the smooth flow of bulk cargo and streamline its movement into the city based on demand. The policy also proposes the development of local storage hubs and micro-fulfilment centres to strengthen last-mile delivery services. The government also plans to modernize Inland Container Depots (ICDs), develop logistics corridors, truck terminals, and dedicated parking hubs, along with cold storage facilities near mandis to support agricultural and food supply chains while reducing transportation delays and wastage. Technology integration is another key aspect of the proposed framework. Officials said an Integrated Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), will be introduced for the real-time cargo tracking and digital freight movement. The policy also places strong emphasis on green logistics and sustainable infrastructure. Measures under consideration include the promotion of electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries, low-emission freight systems, and solar-powered warehousing facilities to reduce pollution and support cleaner urban transport. Improved storage and distribution facilities will boost productivity and competitiveness, with growth anticipated in third-party logistics (3PL) services. Officials believe that the proposed policy will not only attract major investments and generate employment opportunities but also strengthen Delhi’s position as a key logistics and warehousing hub in the country.
