Vineet Kanaujia, GM - Marketing, Safexpress said, "We are developing world-class warehousing at certain strategic locations across India. We are in the process of investing Rs 600 crore in beefing up our warehousing infrastructure across the country. Out of this Rs. 600 crore, one-third of the investment will be done in the Southern region, given the scope of Supply Chain and Logistics industry in this belt." Speaking about the choice of Puducherry as a location for developing this ultra-modern Logisitics Park, Kanaujia said, "Puducherry has nearly 5,500 small scale industries, apart from 80 medium scale and 23 large scale industries. Several corporate entities have set up their manufacturing units in Puducherry due to the infrastructural and taxation advantages it offers. Industries like textiles, metals, light engineering, chemicals and food processing and information technology are flourishing in this region. In the near future, we expect an investment boost in sectors like eco-tourism, footwear and marine products. All these factors enhance the importance of Puducherry from the point of view of Supply Chain and Logistics." Kanaujia concluded by saying that, "Our Logistics Park at Puducherry will be operational 24x7, 365 days in a year to provide 'time-definite' deliveries. Due to our seamless and non-stop operations, we will be providing the fastest transit time of 1.8 days for deliveries across the country from Puducherry. This will vastly augment the standards of Supply Chain and Logistics in the region, and consequently contribute to its economic growth."
