Maharashtra's Growing Role in Storage Infrastructure
The project adds to a substantial pipeline of storage and distribution activity in Maharashtra. Projects India tracks 1,456 storage and distribution projects across India, of which Maharashtra leads all states with 188 tracked projects — the highest count of any single state. Karnataka follows with 125, West Bengal with 123, Tamil Nadu with 114, Bihar with 113, and Uttar Pradesh with 102.
Among the recently tracked projects in Maharashtra, large-scale storage investments continue to draw attention across the country, with Maharashtra consistently anchoring a significant share of activity in this sub-sector.
Pipeline Stage Breakdown: Where Projects Stand
Of the 1,456 storage and distribution projects tracked nationally, the stage breakdown reveals a large volume of work yet to move into active construction. The current distribution is as follows:
- Under Approvals: 864 projects
- Construction Started: 236 projects
- Planning: 192 projects
- Completed: 78 projects
- Approvals Received: 31 projects
- Early / Announced: 30 projects
With 864 projects still under approvals and a further 192 in planning, the forward pipeline of projects moving toward tendering and construction remains substantial. Six projects were added to the tracked pool in the last 90 days alone.
Recent Construction Activity in the Sub-Sector
Several storage and distribution projects have recently entered the construction stage across India. Among those currently tracked by Projects India:
- ESR Group's Industrial Logistics Park at Bhiwandi, Thane, Maharashtra — Rs 500 crore, construction started
- ESR Group's Industrial Logistics Park at Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra — Rs 330 crore, construction started
- Malpani Group's Industrial Logistics Park at Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra — Rs 260 crore, construction started
- Star Corporation's Industrial Shed at Gomatipur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat (Lotus Industrial Park) — Rs 38 crore, construction started
- Shriram Warehousing Industries' Warehouse at Mulwad Industrial Area, Vijaypura, Karnataka — Rs 15 crore, construction started
These projects span logistics parks, warehouses and industrial sheds, reflecting the breadth of activity within the storage and distribution sub-sector beyond battery and energy storage alone.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The MSEDCL-GK Energy award signals continued procurement activity for grid-scale battery storage in Maharashtra, a state that already leads India in tracked storage and distribution projects. For suppliers of battery systems, electrical equipment and civil construction services, Maharashtra remains the single most active state by project count.
The broader pipeline — with 864 projects nationally still under approvals and 192 in planning — represents a substantial volume of work approaching the tendering and procurement stage. Suppliers and contractors tracking this sub-sector should monitor Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which together account for the largest concentrations of tracked projects.
