Ten years ago, no one was able to recognise the potential of warehousing in India. Today, logistics cost contributes 13-17 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in India and Warehousing contribute approximately 25 per cent of logistics cost. The explosive growth of retail markets and the E-commerce industry, the emergence of international players, a renewed focus on manufacturing led by the government’s “Make in India” campaign and the impending implementation of GST in the country – are driving a paradigm shift in the industrial, light manufacturing and warehousing sector.
Embassy is committed to bringing quality Grade A industrial, light manufacturing and warehousing spaces in close proximity to leading consumer and industrial clusters across India.

Anshul Singhal, CEO, Embassy Industrial Parks
Having realized the potential of the selected consultants and architects for this business they have given them a free hand at:
- Bringing to the table their innovation and creativity at the core while envisaging and designing the
industrial park. - Envisioning the Turnaround time (TAT) for the project deliverables to enable a faster Return On Investment (ROI).
- Explore possibilities of Value engineering within the designs to bring about cost efficacy within the project and also take an innovative approach through technology.

Facing Encounters
The first & foremost relevant agenda on board was to secure land positions which allowed expandability & flexibility for our customers. Embassy Industrial Parks is a highly customer centric service company, so this was very essential to us. Today we can buy land & construct anywhere in the country at a pace 30 % percent faster than the market. Making tenants aware about the benefit of ‘’A’’ grade warehouses was taken as one of the key initiative. Also, among other challenges, was to understand the government policies for various processes of statutory approvals to funnel down to single window clearance, it was envisaged and successfully done for our project locations. As the expectations in the market are increasing day by day, the challenge also remains to keep the project at cost and rent as per market dominated by local/unorganised player. It needed strong persuasion and marketing strategy.
Take on steel
Steel Buildings is future of construction in India. Steel is also recognised as the sustainable ‘green’ product that can be recycled. Steel being the sturdy metal, also helps preventing buildings against the natural disasters. Steel Buildings is the fastest way to build a safe and quality assured structure that generates minimum pollution and makes minimum use of natural resources such as water and electricity. Steel structures are easy to transport as they are lightweight. Also, there are no health hazards of using steel structures in construction. This technology should be made mandatory for private and corporate buildings also in cities. It requires minimum space for construction and erection can be done in few days without any hindrance to traffic flow and there is no dust and noise pollution, like one sees in the conventional method of construction.
