Mahindra Lifespaces & Sumitomo to Invest Rs 225 Crore in Tamil Nadu Park Expansion

Mahindra Lifespace Developers (MLDL), through its subsidiary Mahindra World City Developers (MWCDL), in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation, has announced a significant investment of approximately Rs 225 crore to expand the Mahindra Industrial Park Chennai (MIPCL) in Tamil Nadu. The joint venture partners will inject this capital into the development of the industrial park, focusing on enhancing the infrastructure and land acquisition to create an advanced industrial ecosystem.

The latest investment, as part of a supplemental joint venture agreement, is aimed at furthering the growth of MIPCL, which currently spans an area of 307 acres. The funds will be deployed in a phased manner, with the capital infusion reflecting the joint venture partners’ existing shareholding proportions in the project. MIPCL’s expansion is expected to facilitate the establishment of cutting-edge industrial facilities that will cater to various manufacturing sectors, thus boosting the industrial capabilities of the region. As per the agreement, MLDL holds an 89% equity stake in MWCDL, while the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) holds the remaining 11%. MWCDL, in turn, holds a 60% share in MIPCL, with the balance 40% stake being held by Sumitomo Corporation of Japan.

This expansion of the industrial park aligns with the broader goals of the Tamil Nadu government to foster industrial growth and attract foreign investment into the state. The initiative also highlights the increasing role of global partnerships in driving infrastructure development in key industrial zones across India. The joint venture’s decision to inject Rs 225 crore into this project reflects the strong demand for well-equipped industrial hubs in Tamil Nadu, which is emerging as a major destination for industrial growth, particularly in sectors such as automotive, electronics, and engineering.
