Amazon was looking for a fulfillment center to support its growth plans for North India on par with its grand vision, and looked to Skymettle Infrastructure for that solution, which is Amazon DEL 5 — once the biggest e-commerce logistics hub in the country.
DEL 5, a fulfillment center built by Skymettle Infrastructure, is India’s biggest eCommerce fulfillment center at Binola, NH-48. It houses 6.25 lakh sq. ft. built-up area on 22 acres with BIS based PEB structure, FM-2 flooring, 28.57 km FM Global firefighting system which assures safety and scale.
Strategic Location
Amazon DEL 5 is located at Binola, close to Manesar, directly from the Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH 48) which makes it one of the most logistically perfect addresses in the National Capital Region. The highway connectivity ensures easy access to Delhi, Gurugram, and the rest of the NCR distribution network, which makes it an ideal spot for high-order volumes.
Scale That Sets It Apart
The numbers behind Amazon DEL 5 tell the story of its ambition:
- 22 acres of land at Binola dedicated entirely to the project
- 6.25 lakh sq. ft. of total built-up area
- 25,000 cubic meters of concrete consumed during construction
- 4,550 metric tonnes of structural steel
These figures place the project among the most complex land aggregation and construction execution challenges Skymettle has undertaken — a true test of large-scale industrial development capability.
Engineering and Safety Standards
Amazon DEL 5 was not only large, it was designed to be long-lasting and safe. The warehouse has been built using a BIS-based, pre-engineered building (PEB), which is fully insulated and has a seamless roof, making it durable and resilient to climate change. The flooring is rated per FM-2 and meets the requirements of TR34 (4th edition) which is a code of practice that is relevant to heavy duty warehouse applications and material handling equipment.
Fire safety was given due consideration, with the whole facility equipped with an International FM Global firefighting system, one of the most extensive fire safety installations in Indian warehouses.
A Landmark Project for Skymettle
Amazon DEL 5 is the pinnacle of Skymettle’s efforts, representing the company’s capabilities to execute at a scale few developers as large in India can match from the massive land acquisition to precision technical execution. This is a reflection on Skymettle’s overall mission to become the leading warehouse developer in India with end-to-end capabilities from project execution to aggregating land in the warehousing marketplace.
As businesses consider large E-Commerce Fulfillment Centers in India, Amazon DEL 5 is a testament to what can be achieved when strategic location, engineering and safety-first design combine.
Skymettle Infrastructure has constructed the Amazon DEL 5 e-commerce fulfillment center in Binola, near Manesar on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH 48), India’s biggest fulfillment center for the online retail giant Amazon. It has a built-up area of 6.25 lakh sq.ft. on 22 acres of area with a firefighting system of FM-2 over 28.57 km for safety and certified by BIS as PEB structure.
