Bengaluru-based real estate firm Sumadhura Group is expanding into Chennai by developing a 52-acre Grade A industrial and logistics park in Red Hills. Backed by a ₹400 crore investment, the project aims to deliver 1.2 million square feet of warehousing space by December 2028.

Bengaluru-based real estate firm Sumadhura Group has officially entered the Chennai market with plans to build a Grade A industrial and logistics park located in Red Hills, North Chennai. Situated along the Chennai Peripheral Ring Road (CPRR), the project is backed by an investment of ₹400 crore.

Led by CMD G Madhusudhan, the project will be spread across 52 acres and is designed to offer 1.2 million square feet of warehousing space. According to the company's release, the development is scheduled for completion by December 2028 and is expected to generate approximately 2,500 employment opportunities.

The upcoming facility will be developed in alignment with Sumadhura’s Grade A warehousing standards. The company previously established these benchmarks at its Sumadhura Logistics Park located in Hoskote, Bengaluru. The new Chennai facility is targeted at meeting the warehousing requirements of sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, e-commerce, and third-party logistics (3PL) players.

The strategic location in Red Hills along the Chennai Peripheral Ring Road places the industrial park in close proximity to key regional ports, including Ennore Port, Kattupalli Port, and Chennai Port.

This new development adds to Sumadhura’s existing warehousing portfolio in Bengaluru. In Bengaluru, the group operates the Sumadhura Logistics Park, which is a 2.5 million square feet Grade A+ facility in Hoskote. The facility counts marquee occupiers such as Nippon Express (NX Logistics), Amazon, Zepto, and Zomato among its clients.

Sumadhura’s entry into Chennai coincides with a period of growth for the city's commercial real estate sector. Chennai has emerged as one of India’s leading Grade A industrial and warehousing markets, recording 4.1 million square feet of Grade A absorption in the first half of 2026. This performance marks the second-highest absorption rate among India's top eight cities, with overall demand registering an 11 percent year-on-year growth.

"Sumadhura Group's expansion into Chennai highlights the growing maturity and decentralization of India's industrial real estate sector. By investing ₹400 crore into a strategically located Grade A facility near key ports, the company is directly capitalizing on strong regional demand, evidenced by Chennai's 4.1 million square feet of Grade A absorption in H1 2026. Aligning infrastructure development with the specific needs of e-commerce, automotive, and 3PL players ensures long-term viability and operational efficiency in a competitive market." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
