Situated strategically towards eastern side of Hyderabad, the facility is 60 km away from the Outer Ring Road and 20 km from the proposed regional ring road. The facility spans a range of innovative features, designed to streamline supply chain operations and accelerate regional trade, including a private railway siding connecting to the main trunk line, cold chain aggregation of five lakh square feet and one lakh sft storage for ICD with an integrated food processing park.
Highlighting the efforts by the State government since State formation, Jayesh Ranjan said Chityal was one of the primary locations identified and most feasible for establishing a logistics hub. The potential inbound and outbound cargo for this region is balanced with growth across food processing, cement, iron and other heavy industries.
“MPL’s integrated approach for shaping this facility as a multi-product logistics hub is commendable and we are confident that this would help us realise export potential of Nalgonda and the hinterlands,” he said.
Commenting on their choice of setting up of the multi product logistics park in Telangana, MPL Group managing director Vinod Kumar Agarwal said with the logistics park, they were planning to connect farmers and MSME business of the region to the world through affordable logistics and world-class warehousing.
