HYDERABAD: Mahindra Logistics Ltd. (MLL) has opened a new net-zero facility, which is designed with a sustainable warehousing architecture including multi-client capabilities, renewable energy, resource conservation and green cover. This state-of-the-art net-zero multi-client warehouse is located in 3.7 lakh sq.ft at Aruna Industrial Park in the Banda Mailaram village of Mulug mandal of Siddipet.
This warehouse will be an important part of MLL’s pan-India network of multi-user solar-powered facilities that support customers inbound to manufacturing and fulfillment operations. The facility will support e-commerce customers. The built-to-suit (BTS) facility is designed in line with MLL’s sustainability standards, including usage of recycled construction material, liquid discharge management, renewable energy and waste management requirements and state-of-the-art automation.
