India wide release:  Welspun One’s maiden project is located on a prime, irreplaceable and contiguous land parcel with clear legal title, fully owned by the Welspun Group promoters.  The 110 acre project in Bhiwandi entails an estimated investment of INR 900 CR (USD 120 MN) and has a potential leasable area of approximately 3.2 MM SFT. The project is slated to be one of India’s first logistics parks to be developed by a global conglomerate– the Welspun Group; providing customers with the ease of operating, expandability and similar one-stakeholder advantages.
