As India strives to become a global manufacturing and logistics hub, Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) is leading the charge with its cutting-edge solutions in intralogistics. Through its Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Storage Solutions divisions, GEG is revolutionizing warehouse and factory operations by integrating IoT, automation, and AI, setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability.
GEG has cemented its position as a market leader in the intralogistics sector, holding a 20–25% market share in Storage Solutions and Material Handling over the past three years. The company is deeply invested in R&D and innovation, focusing on making manufacturing processes more sustainable.
Approximately 85% of the procurement value for its intralogistics business is sourced domestically, reinforcing its commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat and sustainability throughout its supply chain. By focusing on indigenous product development, safety innovations, and sustainable technologies, GEG is reshaping the logistics ecosystem. It is not only modernizing factory floors but also creating systems that are agile, efficient, and future-ready.
“Our approach to intralogistics goes beyond optimizing internal processes; we’re building a future-ready logistics sector,” said Vikas Choudaha, Business Head, Storage Solutions, GEG. “We’re helping 3PLs, quick-commerce businesses, and large manufacturers create warehouse ecosystems that reduce costs and improve delivery times. Today, every third delivery you receive at home is touched by Godrej.”
Anil Lingayat, Business Head, Material Handling Equipment, GEG, added, “Efficient logistics starts with warehouse operations. Every second saved boosts the entire supply chain. Our sustainable, digital-first solutions—from electric forklifts to automated racking platforms—are enhancing efficiencies across the ecosystem. We’re launching IoT-enabled forklifts in July, and scaling up our R&D and manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing demand for smart, high-performance logistics infrastructure.”
GEG’s intralogistics arm is empowering high-growth sectors like e-commerce, FMCG, cold chain logistics, retail, and quick commerce by offering scalable, tech-driven, and sustainable solutions. In line with the National Logistics Policy, GEG is driving green logistics, cost efficiency, and digital integration across its operations.
Godrej Enterprises Group is also making strides in sustainable manufacturing. The Storage Solutions facility in Chennai is a leader in green manufacturing, with initiatives such as 3x water positivity, reduced carbon emissions (30% cut), and a commitment to zero waste to landfill. The facility uses real-time monitoring for energy and water consumption, ensuring efficiency at every level.
On the product front, GEG’s intralogistics innovations are transforming warehouse operations nationwide, incorporating RoHS-compliant raw materials like steel and powder. These sustainable practices have significantly improved energy productivity, reducing specific energy consumption by 60%.
The MHE division has embedded sustainability into its operations at the Vikhroli (Mumbai) plant, with improvements in energy productivity, a reduced carbon footprint, and a greater focus on renewable energy and water conservation. As pioneers of electric forklifts in India, the division recently launched the country’s first lithium-ion battery-powered forklift. The forklift features an indigenously developed Battery Management System (BMS), designed to enhance performance, safety, and battery life under demanding Indian conditions. With over 82% of its forklift portfolio now electric, MHE continues to drive the shift toward smarter, greener logistics.
India’s logistics costs currently account for 14-18% of GDP, with the national goal of reducing this to single digits. GEG is well-positioned to spearhead this transformation, building a logistics ecosystem that is more agile, intelligent, and sustainable. As the country works toward reducing logistics costs, GEG is ready to lead the way with innovations that support India’s future as a global logistics powerhouse.
