Godrej Enterprises Group has announced a ₹350-crore investment in its material handling equipment business, aiming to capitalize on India’s rapidly growing quick commerce and warehousing sector. The investment will fund a new manufacturing facility at Khalapur near Mumbai.
The upcoming plant is designed to produce 15,000 units annually, representing a five-fold increase in production capacity compared to the company’s existing facility. Godrej also plans to scale capacity further to 30,000 units as demand grows.
The expansion comes amid strong growth in quick commerce, e-commerce and third-party logistics operations, all of which require advanced warehouse equipment such as forklifts, pallet trucks and automated material-handling systems. Industry demand is increasingly shifting toward electrified and automated warehouse solutions.
Godrej has been expanding its portfolio of electric forklifts and warehouse automation technologies, including advanced battery-powered equipment designed to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and support sustainability goals.
The company believes India’s warehouse and intralogistics market remains underpenetrated compared with global peers, creating significant long-term growth opportunities as supply chains modernize and businesses invest in faster delivery networks.
The investment underscores how the rise of quick commerce is driving demand not only for delivery platforms but also for the infrastructure and equipment that power warehouses behind the scenes. As India’s logistics ecosystem expands, material handling and warehouse automation are emerging as key growth segments.
