Press Trust of India New Delhi
Panattoni India will invest about Rs 210 crore to develop a 25-acre industrial and logistics park at Hosur in Tamil Nadu as part of its expansion plan.
This will be the second project for Panattoni in India. It is already developing a project in the Delhi-NCR market.
Panattoni India Development Pvt Ltd is a part of the Panattoni Group, one of the largest industrial real estate developers in the world.
"Our foray into the Hosur market underscores Panattoni's commitment to strengthening our presence in Tier-1 cities and high-potential warehousing corridors," said Sandeep Chanda, Managing Director, India, Panattoni.
He said the total leasable area in this upcoming project will be 5.5 lakh sq ft.
"This will be a plug-and-play-like facility. The total project cost to develop this park will be around Rs 210 crore," he told PTI in an interview.
The construction work will start in the next few months, and completion is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Asked about the source of funding, Chanda said the company has roped in an investor for the development of this project. It will also take debt from financial institutions.
"India continues to be a priority geography in our global strategy. The launch of Panattoni Park, Hosur I, reflects our commitment to building a future-ready, pan-India industrial and logistics platform. Our long-term investment plans will continue to support India's expanding consumption and manufacturing base," said Robert Dobrzycki, CEO and co-owner of Panattoni Europe, UK, Middle East & India.
The upcoming project -- Panattoni Park, Hosur I -- will cater to a diverse mix of occupiers, from e-commerce and 3PL players to FMCG and manufacturing companies, offering scalable, high-performance infrastructure built to Grade A specifications.
Panattoni launched its first Indian development, Panattoni Park NH71 in Delhi NCR, in July 2024, with a 360,000 sq. ft. facility currently under construction.
On average, Panattoni invests around EUR 8 billion a year globally.
The commencement of the Indian operations in 2022 marks Panattoni's entry into Asia. Panattoni has delivered 22.3 million square meters in Europe and 56.3 million square meters globally, with an additional 3.1 million square meters under construction in Europe.

IT's benami unit attaches 12 acres of tribal land near Bandhavgarh tiger reserve in MP
Bhopal: The Income Tax department 's Benami Prohibition Unit in Bhopal has provisionally attached nearly 12 acres of tribal land located in the buffer zone of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh. The land, valued at approximately Rs 90 lakh, was allegedly acquired using unaccounted cash by a wealthy businessman from Nagod tehsil in Satna district, in the name of his tribal employee— a benami transaction intended to bypass laws protecting tribal land. The attached properties, situated in village Tala and Village Mahaman of Tehsil Manpur, Umaria district, were purchased between 2023 and 2024 in the name of Raja, a Scheduled Tribe who worked as a driver for the accused businessman for over 20 years. All three plots are within the buffer zone of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, a significant ecotourism area attracting visitors globally. Officials stated that the lands were acquired with the clear intent of commercial development, including resorts, restaurants, and homestays. Two of the plots were already under active construction for homestays, while a third strategic plot is located just 1.3 km from the Tala Gate, the main entry point to the national park, adjacent to Nature Heritage Resort, a well-known property in the region. Officials said that Raja, the registered landowner, has extremely limited means. His family of seven resides in a one-room house with a tin roof on govt land, and he lacks the financial capacity to purchase land valued in lakhs of rupees. Investigations revealed that the actual buyer, the businessman from Satna, used cash payments to acquire the land. Some payments were made directly to the tribal sellers, while other amounts were deposited into Raja's bank account and subsequently transferred to the sellers—a common method to disguise benami ownership. In notified scheduled tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh, tribal land cannot be transferred to non-tribals without specific approval from the district collector, according to Section 165(6) of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959. This regulation safeguards tribal land rights in areas with significant tribal populations. However, in this case, the businessman circumvented the restriction by registering the land in the name of his tribal employee. Officials stated that this was done deliberately to exploit loopholes and develop commercial properties in a restricted zone. Based on the findings, the IT Department's Benami Unit in Bhopal initiated proceedings under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions (PBPT) Act, 1988. A show-cause notice under Section 24(1) was issued to both the benamidar, Raja, and the beneficial owner, the businessman. The three land parcels, totaling 11.878 acres, have been provisionally attached under Section 24(3) of the PBPT Act, preventing their sale, transfer, or alteration during the stipulated four-month notice period. Officials highlighted that this case reflects a growing pattern of non-tribals using tribal proxies to acquire valuable land near protected zones for commercial tourism projects. Madhya Pradesh, which has the highest tribal population in India, is home to eight tiger reserves, many located in tribal-dominated regions. "These benami setups not only violate tribal land protection laws but also threaten the ecological balance of sensitive areas," said a senior official involved in the case. More such cases are being monitored, particularly around ecotourism hotspots like Bandhavgarh, Kanha, and Pench.

Trump is either blind or ill-informed: Former PM HD Deve Gowda
NEW DELHI: Amidst the govt's strong assertion in the wake of US's 25% tariff imposition that the country will protect its interests, former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Friday reacted angrily to American President Donald Trump 's remarks on India, calling him the most "volatile, uncivil and irresponsible" head of state in modern history. In a statement, the JD(S) leader said he was "surprised" by Trump's "baseless and ill-tempered remarks" on India and the Indian economy. "I don't think modern history has seen another head of state who has been so volatile, uncivil and irresponsible. Mr Trump has behaved badly not just with India, but with every other country across the world. He has not spared his own longstanding allies," Gowda said. Responding to Trump's characterisation of Indian economy as "dead", the former prime minister said, "India has been the fastest growing economy and is the fifth largest economy in the globe. Mr Trump must either be blind or ill-informed to designate our economy as 'dead'." He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's govt for standing firm against Trump's "bullying". "I am very happy and proud that India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has not compromised our national interest. It has not blinked to Mr Trump's bullying and has shown that it will never be dictated by threat." Gowda also rebuked some opposition leaders who had "rejoiced" at the statements of Trump and "jumped to be his deluded spokespersons in India".

UP steps up efforts to boost horticulture exports
Lucknow: In a step toward transforming UP into a global hub for horticultural exports, the state govt convened the inaugural meeting of the UP state horticulture export promotion board. Held at the directorate of horticulture auditorium in Lucknow, the event brought together key stakeholders, experts and policymakers to strategise the future of agricultural exports. The event was attended by the MoS for horticulture, Dinesh Pratap Singh, who highlighted the state's commitment in ensuring farmers receive better prices and international recognition for their produce. "A shining example of this success was the recent Mango Festival 2025, which played a pivotal role in branding the state's produce globally. Remarkably, mangoes from Uttar Pradesh are now being sold in Russia for as much as Rs 800 per kg," he urged exporters and FPOs to align their produce with international standards. He also said that the upcoming Jewar Airport would significantly boost air exports. A key highlight was the signing of a MoU with AFC India Ltd, promising a single-window solution for exporters.
