Lodha Industrial Park: Building a Sustainable Future for Warehousing in India

By Lodha Industrial Park

From streamlining your supply chain to expanding existing operations, warehousing and storage play a crucial role in building a robust consumer base and integrated logistics network. As space becomes an ever more precious commodity, most enterprises turn towards warehousing facilities in the heartland, away from their clientele in major metropolitan cities.

However, Lodha Industrial Park (LIP), is a breath of fresh air in the warehousing sector for warehouses in Mumbai. Located at Palava, a stone’s throw away from the bustling city of Mumbai, LIP allows you to reduce the cost of transportation and promises quicker delivery times from your distribution centres. Carefully designed to offer warehouse companies a seamless warehousing experience, LIP is a smart industrial warehousing facility stringently maintained through good governance policies. In addition to improving the efficacy of your operations, LIP is a sustainable development as well for supply chains in India. From preserving the ecosystem to promoting employee welfare, LIP is a hallmark of prioritising ESG practices.

Harmonising Sustainability with Urban Development

At LIP, we’ve always been dedicated towards environmental consciousness. As a result, we’ve made strident efforts towards reducing our overall carbon footprint on every level of our organisation and across our developments. We ensure that our day-to-day operations champion a sustainable approach and make mindful use of finite natural resources. We’ve reiterated our philosophy towards sustainable operations by partnering with RMI, a global leader concerning climate change and providing solutions to optimise energy. By collaborating with RMI, we hope to make a forward movement towards a zero-carbon future by 2050. Our approach towards sustainability includes every facet of natural capital and social capital, including our industrial parks across the country. We ensure that LIP is sustainable, from sourcing and design to construction, use and maintenance.

LIP is more than just a seamless and hassle-free manufacturing and warehouse space- it is also Lodha’s sustainability efforts exemplified for warehousing management. LIP is a pre-certified IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Platinum Park. Here is a quick rundown of our sustainability initiatives at LIP that have helped us achieve this remarkable certification for manufacturing in India:

Large Green Cover

Although real estate development and preserving ecological biodiversity are often seen as mutually exclusive goals, this is a common misconception. At Lodha, we believe that preserving the landscape around our projects benefits the planet and enhances the experience for our residents and users. Just like we do with our residential and commercial developments, we have ensured that LIP is also home to lush gardens and a wide green cover for our clients across global logistics companies. Planting trees and shrubbery at LIP not only adds to the aesthetical appeal of the facility but also helps reduce our net carbon impact. Keeping the grounds at LIP lush with greenery also helps preserve the natural flora and fauna of the area, promoting biodiversity at our logistics parks.

Organic Waste Treatment

Just like any other phase of supply chain operations, warehousing companies in Mumbai also generates a substantial amount of waste from a logistics warehouse. Letting waste go untreated and runoff pollute the natural environment around LIP goes against everything we stand for in the warehouse business in India. To encourage an eco-friendly approach towards warehouse management, we have incorporated waste treatment amenities on the LIP premises. We allow our tenants to treat 100% organic waste generated during their activities at LIP. Similarly, we also ensure that any wastewater generated at LIP is treated on-site to mitigate damage caused to the natural environment.

EV Charging Stations

LIP is a sprawling industrial development, spanning several acres. Since LIP is one of the leading industrial parks in India, it is designed to accommodate vehicles of various sizes coming to and from the premises. However, we are cognizant that petrol/diesel/CNG vehicles emit a sizeable volume of pollutants and harm the environment on various levels. To encourage an eco-friendly alternative, we have peppered the LIP premises with stations to charge Electronic Vehicles (EVs). Having EV charging stations located within proximity encourages more and more people to switch to electronic vehicles and reduce dependency on fossil fuels for transportation. Thus, positioning LIP as Mumbai’s only future-ready park compared to warehouses in Bhiwandi, warehouse in Navi Mumbai, warehouse in Taloja, warehouse in Kurla and warehouse in Mumbai.

Eco-friendly Construction

At Lodha, we have built a legacy of constructing buildings that feature smart design and make a mark on a city’s skyline with a world-class warehouse management system. However, we have also integrated sustainable practices into our operations from the get-go. LIP is no exception to the rule. Our premium warehousing facility in Mumbai has been built using green-certified and eco-labelled materials. We have also designed the premises to minimise environmental damage and preserve the natural ecosystem.

The Lodha Industrial and Logistic Park at Palava is a one-of-a-kind facility and one of the leading logistics parks in Mumbai, featuring the perfect amalgamation of streamlined design, robust architecture and sustainable practices. If you want to create a future-ready enterprise, warehousing at LIP is the way to go
