The company has built two logistics parks, one in Dhatir, near Palwal, and another in Taoru, near Sohna, sum up 3.4 million square feet of space.

In the future, Jaggi added, “We aim to maintain the momentum and we are confident that these new parks will play a crucial role in propelling the growth of various sectors, including Pharma, 3PL, e-commerce, distribution, and retail.”
