Industrial Area in Chennai

Unlock unmatched growth with Grade A infrastructure in South India’s most robust manufacturing and logistics corridor.

Scale up your Chennai industrial potential with ESR’s Grade A+ infrastructure!

Chennai’s industrial areas have grown on the strength of mature ecosystems, deep-rooted automotive supply chains, and reliable infrastructure. The city’s energy comes from its role in global trade and its long-standing leadership in manufacturing. Unlike emerging markets that are still finding their footing, Chennai is a veteran player on the global stage, offering stability, scalability, and a proven track record of industrial success.

Often called the "Detroit of Asia," Chennai isn’t just a hub—it’s a production powerhouse. The industrial corridors of Oragadam and Sriperumbudur form the backbone of this growth. These manufacturing belts give businesses a strategic advantage with strong port access, skilled talent, and a thriving network of suppliers. It is a unique ecosystem where an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) can find their Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 suppliers all within a 50-kilometer radius. This proximity reduces logistics costs and enables Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing, which is crucial for the automotive and electronics sectors.

It’s where automotive majors, electronics manufacturers, and clean-energy companies come together to tap into one of India’s most important trade gateways. The region acts as a magnet for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), hosting Fortune 500 companies that require world-class standards.

What elevates this region even further is the presence of ESR’s high-quality industrial infrastructure. These aren’t just modern buildings—they’re purpose-built spaces designed to help businesses run smarter. In a landscape often dotted with older, inefficient structures, ESR brings a fresh wave of innovation. From smoother logistics to higher operational efficiency, companies gain the kind of competitive edge that’s hard to find elsewhere.

This combination of location strength and advanced facilities is what makes Chennai’s industrial belt such a decisive choice for both local and global investors. Whether you are looking to acquire premium industrial assets or seeking a partner to develop a built-to-suit manufacturing facility, ESR positions you at the centre of this revolution. We provide the canvas; you paint your industrial success story.

The modern industrial tenant requires more than just four walls and a roof. They need an ecosystem that facilitates speed, safety, and sustainability. At ESR, we understand that infrastructure is the silent partner in your business. If the infrastructure works well, your business flows efficiently. If it fails, your supply chain bottlenecks.

Our parks in Chennai are engineered to eliminate these bottlenecks. We focus on "Industrial Urbanism"—creating work environments that are not only functional but also conducive to productivity. With ample parking, wide turning radii for 40-foot containers, and robust utility infrastructure (power, water, and data), we empower businesses to focus on their core competency: manufacturing and distribution.

In the world of logistics, connectivity is currency. The industrial area in Chennai is arguably one of the best-connected zones in South Asia. With direct connectivity to Chennai Port, Ennore Port, and Kattupalli Port, the industrial areas in Chennai offer businesses effortless access to global markets.

• Chennai Port: Ideal for containerized cargo and general manufacturing goods.
• Ennore (Kamarajar) Port: Specifically designed to handle bulk cargo and automobiles, crucial for the region's car exporters.
• Kattupalli Port: A modern, deep-water port offering congestion-free movement for large vessels.

Ongoing infrastructure upgrades in and around the region only strengthen its position as one of India’s most promising industrial hotspots. The proposed Bangalore-Chennai Expressway is set to slash travel time between these two economic giants, creating a super-corridor of industrial activity.

Many of the key industrial parks, including ESR Oragadam, are placed along the fast-growing Oragadam–Walajabad corridor, giving companies quick access to the GST Road (Grand Southern Trunk Road) and the Bangalore–Chennai Highway. This means goods can move from the production line to the port or airport without the typical delays caused by city traffic. The strategic placement outside the city limits ensures that heavy vehicles face no entry restrictions, allowing for 24/7 movement of goods.

Setting up in an industrial park in Chennai also brings the advantage of wide 90-feet access roads, smoother truck movement, and close proximity to the proposed rail freight corridors. Whether your focus is domestic distribution across South India (serving Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala) or export-driven manufacturing, the connectivity offered here is truly hard to match.

Sustainability is no longer a "nice-to-have"; it is a business imperative. The ESR Industrial Park in Chennai has earned a Platinum/Gold pre-certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)—a recognition driven by genuine sustainability measures. This certification assures tenants that they are operating in a facility designed to minimize environmental impact.

Energy Efficiency: Rooftop solar installations help cut down on electricity use, while energy- and water-saving systems allow businesses to reduce operational costs by up to 25%. Our parks utilize skylights that cover a significant percentage of the roof area, flooding the warehouse floor with natural light and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Water Stewardship: Today’s manufacturing environment demands both efficiency and responsibility. In one of Chennai’s most active industrial belts, ESR sets a higher benchmark with features like advanced rainwater harvesting, on-site sewage treatment plants (STP), and xeriscaping (landscaping that requires little water). We treat 100% of wastewater on-site and reuse it for landscaping and flushing.

Our focus on green logistics ensures that as your production scales, your operations stay aligned with global fund management and ESG standards—making your supply chain not just efficient, but truly future-ready. For global MNCs, this compliance is critical for annual sustainability reporting.

The availability of a trainable and disciplined workforce is often the deciding factor for large manufacturing units. Chennai has long been known for its strong talent pool, especially in engineering, technical trades, and shop-floor operations. The state of Tamil Nadu produces the highest number of engineering graduates in India, and the industrial belts benefit from a dense network of ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) and polytechnics.

Decades of automotive and heavy machinery manufacturing have shaped an ecosystem where skilled labour is readily available, giving the industrial areas in Chennai a clear advantage. Unlike new industrial zones where labor has to be migrated in, Chennai offers a local, stable workforce that understands industrial culture.

At ESR, the workforce is trained to handle day-to-day operations with precision and care. Their core responsibility is to keep the facility and its equipment running at peak performance. Through structured training programs, workers receive hands-on guidance in operating forklifts, conveyor systems, cranes, and other essential warehouse equipment, ensuring consistent maintenance and safety standards.

For businesses setting up in the region, this means immediate access to a capable workforce—ranging from well-trained technicians to seasoned logistics professionals—ready to support smooth and efficient operations from day one. This significantly reduces the learning curve and training costs usually associated with setting up a new facility.
