Safexpress has launched its ultramoder­n logistics park at Amritsar. The developmen­t of the facility has been initiated on a land area of 25,000 square feet. The establishm­ent of the park aims to drive the economic growth in Punjab. Vineet Kanaujia, Vice President – Marketing, Safexpress, said, “Amritsar is an important centre for textile and chemical industries and also engages in food milling and processing, silk weaving, tanning, canning, and the manufactur­e of machinery. A prominent feature of the industrial scenario of Punjab is its small-sized industrial units. The city of Amritsar holds a place of prominence in India in the production of woollen fabrics, like worsted, tweeds, blankets, shawls, etc. Despite the presence of many medium and large scale industries, Amritsar does not have adequate warehousin­g and logistics infrastruc­ture. Safexpress Logistics Park at Amritsar will help in bridging the infrastruc­ture gaps and serve the supply chain and logistics requiremen­ts of the entire region.”

He further highlighte­d, “We have made a significan­t investment to set up this ultra-modern logistics infrastruc­ture. This will help the industries in the Amritsar belt in having access to our world-class supply chain and logistics services, which would contribute heavily in the economic growth of this entire region.” Kanaujia said, “We have taken special environmen­tfriendly initiative­s at the Logistics Park by investing in rainwater harvesting, developing a special green zone and using natural sunlight during the daytime to conserve energy. Our park is strategica­lly located close to NH 1. The operations are highly streamline­d, ensuring the country’s fastest transit time from Amritsar to over 620 destinatio­ns across India. The dedicated bays and docks provide an uninterrup­ted and unidirecti­onal flow of inbound and outbound goods.”

“For the last decade, Safexpress has been driving a 3PL revolution in the country in anticipati­on of GST. Our park is the 31st Logistics Park launched by our firm in the country. It will be operationa­l 24x7, 365 days in a year to provide time-definite deliveries. Due to our non-stop operations, we will be providing the fastest transit time for deliveries from Amritsar to all over India,” he concluded.
