Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) Accelerates India’s Shift to Smart, Sustainable Logistics!

As India aims to strengthen its position as a global manufacturing and logistics hub, Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) is playing a pivotal role in the evolution of the logistics sector with its innovative solutions in intralogistics. Through its Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Storage Solutions divisions, GEG is revolutionizing warehouse and factory operations by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, automation, and AI, thereby setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability in the industry.

GEG has firmly established itself as a market leader in the intralogistics sector, holding a significant 20–25% market share in Storage Solutions and Material Handling over the past three years. The company has made substantial investments in research and development (R&D) and innovation, with a strong focus on making manufacturing processes more sustainable. This commitment is not only reflected in their products but also in their dedication to sourcing approximately 85% of their intralogistics procurement domestically, reinforcing their commitment to India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative and sustainability throughout the supply chain.

Through its focus on indigenous product development, safety innovations, and sustainable technologies, GEG is reshaping the logistics ecosystem. Their work goes beyond merely modernizing factory floors and warehouses; they are building systems that are agile, efficient, and designed for the future. As Vikas Choudaha, Business Head of Storage Solutions at GEG, stated, “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.”

In a similar vein, Anil Lingayat, Business Head of Material Handling Equipment, emphasized the importance of efficient warehouse operations in streamlining logistics. He added, “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.” GEG’s upcoming launch of IoT-enabled forklifts in July, along with its focus on expanding R&D and manufacturing capabilities, underscores its efforts to meet the growing demand for smart, high-performance logistics infrastructure.

GEG’s intralogistics division is providing scalable, tech-driven, and sustainable solutions that are empowering high-growth sectors like e-commerce, FMCG, cold chain logistics, retail, and quick commerce. The company’s offerings are in alignment with the National Logistics Policy, which aims to drive green logistics, cost efficiency, and digital integration across India’s logistics operations.

On the sustainability front, GEG’s Storage Solutions facility in Chennai is a leader in green manufacturing, achieving impressive milestones such as 3x water positivity, a 30% reduction in carbon emissions, and a commitment to zero waste to landfill. The facility’s use of real-time monitoring for energy and water consumption helps ensure operational efficiency at every level.

Furthering its commitment to sustainable operations, the MHE division at GEG’s Vikhroli plant in Mumbai has focused on improving energy productivity, reducing its carbon footprint, and increasing the use of renewable energy and water conservation. As a pioneer in electric forklifts in India, the MHE division recently launched the country’s first lithium-ion battery-powered forklift. This 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, the MHE division continues to drive the shift toward smarter and greener logistics.

Through these efforts, GEG is leading the way in transforming India’s logistics sector, promoting sustainability, innovation, and efficiency, and positioning itself as a key player in the future of smart, sustainable manufacturing and logistics in India.
