ESR Group has acquired 38 acres of land in Gujarat and will invest Rs 400 crore to develop an industrial and warehousing park. The project, located at Sanand in Gujarat, will have a development potential of 1 million square feet, the company said. ESR Group will invest about Rs 400 crore for construction and development. This will be ESR’s second investment in Gujarat. It had made its first investment at Jalisana, a 37-acre project. Abhijit Malkani, the CEO of ESR India, said this new park will add to the state’s flourishing industrial ecosystem.
“Gujarat attracts one of the highest foreign direct investments in India and is currently turning into an EV (electrical vehicle) battery manufacturing and assembly centre,” he said. The availability of Grade A infrastructure in a strategic location like Sanand is essential for the region’s industrial growth and will add to its EV manufacturing capacity, Malkani said.
ESR said there are 25 multinational and 300 domestic companies in this region across various sectors, including automobile, auto ancillaries, FMCG, engineering, plastics, packaging, and electronics. This project aims to create a focused space for established and emerging EV manufacturing and ancillary units to expand their presence in Ahmedabad, the company added.
