Proceeds from the issue will be channelled towards acquiring land parcels, constructing storage facilities, and developing logistics infrastructure. IEL has already entered into a memorandum of understanding for land acquisition and has finalised partnerships for the construction of its warehousing facilities.
The company's initial development phase is slated to commence in Neeva village, Lucknow, part of the prominent warehousing belt of Bijnor. This phase will involve the construction of warehouses, cold storage units, silos, and advanced smart warehouses. IEL's master plan divides the project into four distinct phases, allocating 76% of the land for warehousing and 24% for cold storage facilities.
Ajay Gupta, Managing Director of IEL, expressed optimism regarding the upcoming warehousing project in Lucknow. He noted the rising demand for Grade A warehouses, largely driven by the exponential growth of e-commerce. Gupta emphasised that IEL was well-positioned to meet this increasing demand, with the project's strategic location offering excellent road connectivity and positioning it as a key logistics hub.
According to Gupta, the capital raised through the rights issue will accelerate IEL's entry into the warehousing and logistics sector, enabling the company to address the expanding need for modern storage solutions, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
IEL is actively pursuing collaborations with major companies such as Amazon, Ecom Express, Flipkart, and other leading logistics players to meet the growing demand for warehousing space in Lucknow and the surrounding regions. Its proximity to national highways, expressways, and an extensive road network makes it ideally suited for logistics operations.
The planned warehouses will feature high-quality construction, modern structural designs, and advanced loading and unloading facilities. IEL is also prioritising essential utilities to support seamless and efficient operations. Sustainability and energy efficiency are central to the company's design approach, with plans to incorporate energy-efficient lighting in communal areas and integrate environmentally friendly features to reduce the facilities' overall carbon footprint.
With the government placing increased emphasis on enhancing infrastructure and logistics connectivity, IEL is poised to benefit from these developments. The expansion of warehousing and logistics infrastructure is anticipated to play a significant role in contributing to India's GDP. IEL expects its strategic growth initiatives to generate long-term value for both the company and its shareholders.
