Karnataka recently topped NITI Aayog’s India Innovation Index 2022 that ranked states on various parameters like human capital, business environment and investment and it is aggressively pushing the agenda of improving ease of doing business. Both global and domestic businesses have been vying to secure opportunities in the state that has been exponentially growing.
While Decathlon has taken up 900,000 sq.ft. space, leading e-commerce players like Flipkart and Amazon have taken over 500,000 sq.ft. and 300,000 sq.ft., respectively. It is an IGBC Platinum certified building – the first warehouse in Karnataka to be certified for its sustainable practice of water conservation and use of solar power.
The park will be a key enabler and ensure that businesses can leverage the strategic location with built-to-suit warehouses that meet customer requirements in major cities through connectivity across major railways stations and airport. The park will bring forward much required efficiencies and productivity in logistics including digitisation, augmented warehousing capacity and robust physical infrastructure.
To support the ease of business in state, the government will need to focus on huge investments in the infrastructure sector along with emphasis on public-private partnerships to further the economic activity and create employment opportunities, aligning themselves with the National Logistics Policy as well as PM Gati Shakti Plan.
