GMI Infra plans major GMI Logistics Park - A transformative push for North India's industrial and trade ecosystem
Chandigarh / Mohali - Under the leadership of Mohit Bansal,
CEO of GMI Infra, the company is poised to launch the GMI Logistics Park,
marking its next big milestone aimed at reshaping the industrial and trade
landscape of North India. The new logistics park follows the company's
successful ventures such as GMI IT Tower, GMI Elite Homes, and GMI Business
Park - all of which reflect GMI Infra's commitment to high-quality
infrastructure, strategic planning, and sustainable development.
Vision & Rationale: Why GMI Logistics Park Matters
According to GMI Infra, the decision to invest in a dedicated
logistics park - in addition to their existing residential, IT and
business-park offerings - comes from a larger strategy which cater to building
integrated ecosystems that support industry, commerce and communities.
Free Trade Zones & Logistics Parks as a growth engine –
GMI Infra sees these zones as a key to driving India's next wave of industrial
growth, enabling faster trade, improved international competitiveness and
attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).
Complements existing infrastructure - With flagship projects
already operational (IT Tower, Elite Homes, Business Park), the addition of a
logistics park will provide seamless connectivity for manufacturing,
warehousing, distribution and supply-chain operations.
Long-term, sustainable planning - Mohit Bansal's approach
has been described as "steady, responsible expansion," prioritizing
infrastructure that remains relevant over decades while considering geography,
people's needs and maintenance.
What the Logistics Park Could Unlock: Benefits for North
India
Trade & Export Potential via Free Trade / Warehousing
Zones By leveraging the benefits associated with Free Trade Zones (FTZs) /
Warehousing Zones - such as deferment or elimination of customs duties until
goods leave the zone, easier reexport and streamlined logistics – GMI Logistics
Park will become a hub for import-export activity and value-added manufacturing
in Punjab/North India. This can substantially reduce costs for businesses and
improve efficiencies in the supply chain.
• Improved Connectivity and Supply Chains for Industry Hubs
Given that industrial hubs within Punjab (such as those
around Rajpura IMC and other FreeTrade or Industrial zones) are increasingly
central to supply-chain networks, a well-planned logistics park can serve as a
critical node - connecting manufacturing centers, supply routes and domestic
& export markets. This will benefit businesses in and around Ludhiana by
reducing lead times, lowering transportation costs and enabling smoother
distribution.
• Economic Growth, Job Creation and Industrial Ecosystem
Strengthening
With modern warehouses, industrial plots, logistics
infrastructure and potential Free Trade benefits, GMI Logistics Park can
attract both large enterprises and SMEs. This can create employment across
logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, transport and allied services - driving
overall economic growth in the region.
• Leverage GMI's Integrated Model – Work, Live, Trade and
Grow
GMI's track record - combining IT, residential, business and
now logistics/industrial infrastructure — delivers a holistic model. For people
in North India: one can live (Elite Homes), work (IT Tower / Business Park) and
now engage in manufacturing, warehousing or logistics - all within an
integrated ecosystem. This may also encourage migration of skilled workforce
back to Punjab from other metros, boosting local talent retention.
What This Means for Stakeholders
1. For Business Owners & Manufacturers: Access to a
modern logistics park with potential FTZ-type benefits; improved access to
markets; lower logistics and duty related costs and a reliable infrastructure
base to scale operations.
2. For Employees & Workforce: New opportunities in
warehousing, supply chain management, logistics operations, plus ancillary
services - thereby supporting livelihoods and up-skilling.
3. For the Regional Economy (Punjab & North India):
Boost in industrial activity, trade volume, foreign and domestic investments -
offering a potential paradigm shift toward becoming a competitive manufacturing
& logistics hub.
4. For Residents / Communities: Balanced urban-industrial
growth, job opportunities and integrated infrastructure - aligning with
sustainable development goals set by GMI Infra.
GMI Infra's Philosophy & Leadership
under Mohit Bansal's stewardship, GMI Infra emphasizes
careful planning where every project considers topography, regional needs and
long-term sustainability. Their vision extends beyond real estate; they
consider infrastructure as a tool for improving people's quality of life, enabling
economic growth and building communities. With a portfolio ranging from IT
Towers and residential complexes to business parks and upcoming logistics &
industrial zones, GMI Infra is positioning itself as a comprehensive
infrastructure developer - not just a real-estate company.
GMI Infra's proposed GMI Logistics Park - backed by the
vision of Mohit Bansal and the proven track-record of GMI's earlier ventures -
has the potential to catalyze a significant shift in North India's industrial
and trade landscape. By combining the advantages of Free Trade / Warehousing
Zones, modern infrastructure, strategic connectivity and an integrated
ecosystem spanning residential, commercial, IT, industrial and logistics - this
initiative could redefine how manufacturing, supply-chain and trade operate in
Punjab and neighbouring states.
Well execution and with people believing in the idea, GMI
Logistics Park may not only benefit major industrial hubs like Rajpura or
Mohali - but also contribute to the economic revival and growth of regions like
Ludhiana, giving renewed momentum to North India's industrial future.
