This development marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion plan, supporting its ambition to evolve into a multi-industry logistics leader.

 

 

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by AbdulBasit AlMarzouqi, Deputy CEO of the Logistics District, Dubai South and Kishore Lakhani, Chairman Indu Group, in the presence of senior executives from both entities.  

 

Completion in Q3 2025

The facility, spanning approximately 23,000 sq m and with a storage capacity of 75,000 pallets, is scheduled for completion by Q3 2025. Designed to handle spare parts of all sizes, it will leverage data-driven automation to streamline processes, enabling rapid turnaround times and ensuring an efficient, optimised flow of shipments.

At Dubai South, our mandate is to support the government’s vision of positioning Dubai as a leading global logistics hub. We are committed to fully supporting Indu Kishore Logistics in its expansion endeavours, and we look forward to the successful completion of this facility.”

 

Kush Lakhani, Managing Partner at Indu Kishore Logistics, said: “At Indu, we have long embraced Dubai’s visionary approach of ‘Build It and They Will Come.’ This strategic investment is driven by a surge in demand within the automotive and aerospace sectors. With the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, we believe the timing is ideal, and we are truly grateful for the trust and support extended by the Dubai South team in bringing this project to fruition.”
