The company, which
has traditionally supplied land to industrial warehousing clients, will now
develop its own facilities and lease them to occupiers, Managing Director M.
Jayakumar said. The group’s first
project will come up at Singadivakkam village in the Sriperumbudur–Kanchipuram
industrial belt. With a proposed investment of ₹150 crore to ₹170 crore, the
project will develop approximately 4.5 lakh sq ft of warehouse space on 16
acres. The necessary approvals have been secured, and the construction tendering
process is currently underway.
Construction is expected to commence after the tendering process is
completed. The company is also in discussions with a prospective tenant,
although no lease agreement has been finalised. Sameera Group has already acquired some
land parcels and identified additional locations for its expansion. Besides its
initial project, the company is exploring opportunities in Kanchipuram and
Chengalpattu districts. The new business
model represents a shift from the group’s earlier strategy of acquiring large
land parcels, undertaking master planning and selling developed land to
industrial customers and other developers. Under the revised approach, the
company will develop and own industrial warehousing facilities, generating
revenue through leasing. The group
expects Chennai’s established industrial ecosystem, availability of labour and
supporting infrastructure to drive demand for industrial warehousing. Leasing
activity of around three million sq ft in the Chennai market during the first
half of 2026 further underlines the potential, the company indicated. Sameera Group has previously sold around
200–225 acres of land for industrial use, including a parcel acquired by major
companies for industrial warehousing. Jayakumar did not disclose the names of
the companies.
The proposed
expansion will be financed through a combination of internal cash flows and
bank borrowings, enabling the group to establish a portfolio of industrial
parks and strengthen its presence in Tamil Nadu’s industrial real estate
market.
