Adani Ports, Super Handlers, and Empezar compete to develop logistics hub

Gujarat-based firms Adani Ports & SEZ, Super Handlers, and Empezar Logistics are in the running to develop a ₹1,200 crore multimodal logistics park across 174 acres in Greater Noida, according to Uttar Pradesh’s industrial development minister, Nand Gopal Gupta. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) had invited bids to lease the land for 90 years.

The proposed facility will feature cargo handling yards, warehousing hubs, a skill development centre, and integrated logistics services for terminal operations. Gupta noted that the project is expected to generate over 5,000 jobs and significantly enhance freight movement in the region. He added that all proposals are under review, with a final decision to be announced soon.

Minister Nand Gopal Gupta highlighted that the Uttar Pradesh government is actively pursuing multiple industrial development initiatives to enhance the state’s business environment. The proposed multimodal logistics park in Greater Noida aligns with the state’s Multi-Modal Logistics Park Policy 2024, which offers a range of investor incentives.

Strategically located near the upcoming Noida International Airport, the park will benefit from seamless connectivity to both the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors. It also sits adjacent to a CONCOR-operated dry port, providing robust infrastructure for container storage and processing—making it a prime hub for integrated logistics and trade facilitation.

The ‘Scheme for Allotment of Plot for Development of Multi Modal Logistic Park at Greater Noida’ entails a minimum investment of ₹1,200 crore, excluding land cost. The project has been approved under the Greater Noida Master Plan 2041. The allotment of 174.1 acres of contiguous land at Kappa II sector in Greater Noida will be made on a leasehold basis for a 90-year period from the date of execution of the lease deed. The application, along with the requisite documents, will be scrutinised by a screening committee before it is finalised by an allotment committee. According to industry analysts, leasing activity in warehousing is likely to remain buoyant in 2025, driven by demand from e-commerce, third-party logistics firms, FMCG and retail sectors. Developers are also boosting supply in peripheral zones of major metros, backed by institutional capital and growing demand for compliant, efficient warehousing stock.
