The land will be purchased in phases, with an initial acquisition of around 35 acres. Starting as a large-scale warehousing operation it will be converted into a fully fledged CFS in time for the opening of the new Ennore Container Terminal scheduled for 2011.

This is Eredene’s second investment in a CFS alongside the Sattva Business Group. The first is at Vichoor, serving the nearby port of Chennai.
