India’s warehousing and intralogistics sector is seeing a wave of innovation as companies adopt smarter and greener technologies to meet rising demand and efficiency targets. Among the key contributors to this shift is Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG), which has significantly expanded its presence in the space through its Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Storage Solutions divisions.
GEG reports that over 37% of its revenue now comes from its Good & Green portfolio, with a 30% growth in its network of eco-aligned partners over the past three years. Its intralogistics offerings — including AI-driven racking systems, electric forklifts, and IoT-enabled equipment — are being increasingly adopted by fast-growing sectors like e-commerce, FMCG, cold chain logistics, and quick commerce.
According to company officials, 85% of procurement is sourced locally, reinforcing GEG’s alignment with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. With a market share of 20–25% in material handling and storage solutions, the company is also investing in R&D and digital-first technologies to modernize warehouse operations across the country.
“Intralogistics is no longer just about moving goods — it’s about efficiency, safety, and sustainability,” said Vikas Choudaha, Business Head of Storage Solutions at GEG. The company claims its technologies are helping warehouse operators cut costs and improve turnaround times, especially in high-volume delivery chains.
GEG’s Chennai facility stands out for its green manufacturing practices — with 3x water positivity, a 30% reduction in carbon emissions, and a roadmap to zero landfill waste. Its Mumbai-based MHE operations have also expanded electric forklift production and introduced India’s first indigenously developed lithium-ion forklift with a custom battery management system designed for local conditions.
These moves are in line with the goals of India’s National Logistics Policy, which aims to reduce logistics costs (currently estimated at 14–18% of GDP) to single digits. As logistics becomes a strategic sector for India’s global competitiveness, the focus on automated, efficient, and sustainable warehousing is likely to intensify.
Whether these solutions can scale across India’s fragmented supply chains remains to be seen, but companies like GEG are positioning themselves at the center of the transformation.
