ABOUT THIS FACILITY

Strategically located in Kancheepuram district along the NH 48 corridor — just 42 km from Chennai International Airport and 52 km from Chennai Port — the facility serves as a critical logistics gateway for South India's largest industrial cluster.

CONNECTIVITY
A Chennai free trade zone is a government-notified area where imported goods can be stored without payment of customs duty until they leave the zone. Astromar's Sriperumbudur facility is notified under the SEZ Act, 2005, making it a fully-operational FTWZ with all statutory benefits. Goods can be stored, labelled, kitted, repackaged, or re-exported without triggering customs duty or GST liabilities.
An FTWZ in Chennai saves money in four ways: (1) zero customs duty until goods leave the zone, freeing up working capital; (2) 100% GST deferral on imports; (3) no duty on goods that are re-exported; (4) income tax exemption on profits from re-export activity for the first 5 years. A typical electronics importer saves ₹2-5 crore annually on duty deferral alone.
A standard bonded warehouse in Chennai allows duty-deferred storage but is restricted in scope — typically 1-year storage limits and limited permitted activities. An FTWZ like Sriperumbudur offers unlimited storage tenure, broader permitted activities (including manufacturing, assembly, and value addition), and stronger tax benefits under the SEZ Act, 2005.
The Sriperumbudur FTWZ is optimised for: (a) electronics and IT hardware importers serving Foxconn, Samsung, Dell, and their supplier network; (b) automotive OEMs and Tier-1 component manufacturers near Hyundai, BMW, and Renault-Nissan plants; (c) pharmaceutical importers requiring cold-chain bonded storage; (d) renewable energy equipment importers serving Tamil Nadu's growing wind and solar sector.
