What minimum area is required for certain industries?

1. Textile and Garment Manufacturing

• Minimum Land Area: 0.5 to 1 acre
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Space for weaving/knitting units, dyeing sections, and packaging areas
    
  • Moderate power and water requirement
    
  • Room for internal circulation and raw material storage
    

This area is generally sufficient for small to medium-scale textile operations with up to 100 machines.

2. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

• Minimum Land Area: 1 to 2 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Clean rooms, R&D labs, and production areas
    
  • Utility blocks for HVAC, water purification, and effluent treatment
    
  • High compliance with environmental and safety standards
    

Larger pharma units may require up to 5 acres depending on formulation and bulk drug production scale.

3. Food and Agro-Processing

• Minimum Land Area: 1 to 2 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Processing lines, cold storage, and packing zones
    
  • Sanitary facilities and water treatment systems
    
  • Open space for truck loading and unloading
    

Projects involving storage silos, milling, or beverage bottling may need 3 to 5 acres.

4. Engineering and Fabrication Units

• Minimum Land Area: 1 to 3 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Heavy-duty machinery, welding/fabrication zones
    
  • Cranes, forklifts, and ample floor loading capacity
    
  • Yard space for handling and assembly
    

Depending on product size and production volume, the area may scale up to 10 acres or more for heavy engineering.

5. Automobile Components Manufacturing

• Minimum Land Area: 1 to 2 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Machining, assembly lines, and surface treatment facilities
    
  • Dedicated space for testing and QC labs
    
  • High-tension power connections and backup systems
    

Ancillary units for OEMs generally fit within this size, while larger tier-1 suppliers may require 5 to 10 acres.

6. Logistics and Warehousing

• Minimum Land Area: 2 to 5 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • High ceiling warehouses, loading bays, and dock areas
    
  • Heavy vehicle circulation space
    
  • Utility infrastructure for cold chain or automated storage
    

Strategic warehouse hubs along highways may range from 10 to 50+ acres, especially in multi-client distribution centers.

7. Chemical and Paint Industries

• Minimum Land Area: 2 to 4 acres
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Segregated zones for raw material handling, processing, and storage
    
  • Environmental control facilities like ETPs and fire safety systems
    
  • Compliance with hazardous material handling guidelines
    

These industries typically require larger setbacks and buffer zones, influencing minimum area requirements.

8. IT Hardware and Electronics Assembly

• Minimum Land Area: 0.5 to 1 acre
  
• Usage Considerations:
  
  • Clean room environments, ESD-compliant assembly lines
    
  • Server and testing labs
    
  • Moderate logistics and service access
    

Compact layouts allow high productivity even in limited spaces, especially in plug-and-play industrial parks
