The
new facility, situated in CGTA Nagar, spans across about 3 lakh sq. ft. on 10.5
acres of land. It is positioned as a hub for Eastern and North-eastern India,
and supports cross-border trade with neighbouring Bhutan, Bangladesh and
Southeast Asia. It is equipped to serve a diverse range of industries including
automotive, e-commerce, FMCG, retail, textiles and others. It also offers
cold-chain solutions.
“Our new warehouse in Kolkata
reflects the growing economic activity in the region fuelled by positive
policies by the respective state governments, as well as by the increased
connectivity with Northeast India at the back of various strategic investments
in infrastructure by the Government of India. This state-of-the-art facility will have modern
features that prioritise sustainability and will help serve a diverse range of
industries, supporting their operations across Eastern and Northeastern India
as well as the country’s neighbourhood. It has a futuristic design and is one
of the most eco-conscious facilities of its kind, thus also making it an
optimum choice for the industry to make their supply chains relatively
greener,” said Manoj Kumar Tripathi, CEO, TCI Supply Chain Solutions.
“TCI shares a very special bond
with Kolkata as the company was established in the city by our founder Shri
Prabhu Dayal Agarwal Ji in 1958 and it has since grown to become one of the
largest multimodal logistics players in the country,” he added.
The
warehouse has a fly ash brick construction, rainwater harvesting, natural
lighting, low-VOC paints and other eco-conscious features. It also incorporates
ultra-flat laser screed flooring, robotics-compatible infrastructure and
energy-efficient designs for high-volume and future-ready operations.
