Ample Parks, a joint venture between global sustainable infrastructure investor Actis and Mahindra Lifespaces, has launched its flagship Grade-A industrial and logistics park in Chennai. Located within Mahindra World City, the Rs. 800-crore project spans 71 acres and aims to lease out 2.1 million sq ft of premium industrial space. Strategically positioned in the Singaperumal Koil industrial corridor, the development is expected to generate Rs. 110 crore in annual revenue and create over 11,000 jobs. With a focus on sustainability and future-ready infrastructure, Ample Parks sets ambitious goals for national expansion across India's high-growth cities.
Strategic Entry into India’s Industrial Real Estate Market
Ample Parks marks its official entry into the Indian industrial and logistics space with the launch of its first large-scale project near Chennai. A collaboration between Actis, a prominent global investor in sustainable infrastructure, and Mahindra Lifespaces, the real estate and infrastructure development arm of the Mahindra Group, this venture is designed to capitalize on India’s surging demand for Grade-A industrial infrastructure.
Set within Mahindra World City, one of India's earliest integrated business cities, the newly launched park is located in Singaperumal Koil, an emerging manufacturing and logistics belt south of Chennai. The project occupies 71 acres and will offer 2.1 million sq ft of leasable industrial space—making it the largest Grade-A offering within the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) of Mahindra World City.
Financial Commitment and Economic Impact
The industrial park represents a capital investment of Rs. 800 crore, reflecting Ample Parks’ long-term vision and the significant growth potential of India’s industrial corridors. Once operational, the park is expected to generate annual revenues of Rs. 110 crore and create approximately 11,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing to regional economic development.
This financial outlay also demonstrates investor confidence in the Indian logistics and manufacturing ecosystem, particularly as global supply chains diversify and companies seek well-integrated, high-compliance industrial spaces.
Sustainable Infrastructure as a Core Principle
A defining feature of the Ample Parks model is its commitment to sustainability. The Chennai park will meet 50% of its energy requirements through renewable sources, reinforcing Actis’s philosophy of green infrastructure development. This aligns with global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and meets the rising expectations of multinational tenants seeking sustainable operations.
Beyond energy sourcing, the development is expected to integrate eco-friendly construction materials, smart infrastructure, and resource-efficient operations to reduce its environmental footprint while improving cost efficiency for occupiers.
Creating a Future-Ready Industrial Ecosystem
Described by CEO Akash Rastogi as a “comprehensive and future-ready industrial ecosystem,” Ample Parks aims to redefine industrial development by combining commercial, industrial, and logistics capabilities in one integrated campus. The company’s objective is not only to offer physical infrastructure but also to enable tenants to unlock operational efficiencies, enhance productivity, and scale quickly.
Rastogi further noted that Ample Parks is committed to expanding its land portfolio by 10 times over the next 5–7 years, signaling an aggressive growth plan that will focus on both greenfield developments and strategic acquisitions across India.
Planned Expansion Across India’s Industrial Growth Hubs
Following its Chennai debut, Ample Parks is preparing for pan-India expansion. Immediate targets include India’s major logistics and industrial hubs—Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata—where rising manufacturing output, e-commerce logistics, and infrastructural investments have accelerated demand for compliant, scalable industrial spaces.
In addition to metro regions, the company is eyeing Tier-II and Tier-III cities such as Lucknow, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Nagpur—locations that are emerging as alternative industrial nodes due to policy incentives, improving connectivity, and lower land acquisition costs.
This dual-track strategy positions Ample Parks to become a national platform capable of servicing both multinational corporations and domestic industrial players.
Conclusion: A Transformative Step Toward Sustainable Industrial Growth
Ample Parks’ inaugural project in Chennai sets the tone for a new era in India’s industrial real estate sector—one defined by quality infrastructure, sustainable operations, and strategic location planning. Backed by institutional capital from Actis and the legacy of Mahindra Lifespaces, the venture is uniquely equipped to respond to the evolving needs of industrial occupiers in India’s fast-modernizing economy.
As global and domestic manufacturing scales up in the wake of supply chain realignments and government initiatives like “Make in India,” platforms like Ample Parks will play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of industrial development—clean, connected, and ready for the future.
