IMARC Engineering Announces End‑to‑End Factory Setup Services

IMARC Engineering, the EPCM advisory arm of the IMARC Group headquartered in Noida, India, issued a press release on 30 June 2026 detailing a new integrated offering for greenfield and brownfield manufacturing projects across the country. The service suite spans land acquisition, feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, engineering, procurement, construction management (EPCM), ESG compliance, and commissioning, positioning the firm as a single‑point delivery partner from the initial investment conversation to commercial production.

The announcement comes against a backdrop of robust manufacturing activity: private corporate capital expenditures in the sector accounted for more than 50 % of total Indian CAPEX in FY 2025‑26, and industrial production recorded a 4.9 % month‑on‑month increase in April 2026. Government‑driven Production‑Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, totalling INR 1.97 lakh crore, together with the national goal of raising manufacturing’s share of GDP to 25 % by 2030, have spurred a wave of investment interest.

Service Offering Details

  • Pre‑investment Phase: IMARC conducts feasibility studies, site‑selection analysis, and location assessments based on connectivity, power and water availability, labour market strength, state incentives, and proximity to raw material sources. The firm also assists with land procurement, legal due diligence, CapEx/OpEx modelling, industrial licensing, incentive advisory, risk assessment, and technical due diligence.
  • Engineering Scope: Multidisciplinary teams deliver plant layout and process flow design, civil and structural MEP design, equipment selection, utilities planning (water, power, HVAC, steam), fire safety and security systems, clean‑room and cold‑chain design, waste‑management planning, and 3‑D modelling with digital‑twin simulations.
  • Procurement Support: Services include supplier identification, competitive tendering, bid evaluation, Bill of Materials preparation, vendor audits, logistics optimisation, and spare‑parts inventory planning.
  • Greenfield Project Management: For projects on undeveloped land, IMARC provides master‑planning, statutory clearances, engineering, machinery procurement, construction, and commissioning within an integrated framework. Typical greenfield timelines range from 18 to 36 months from site finalisation to hand‑over. Target sectors include pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, FMCG, medical devices, agro‑chemicals, automotive components, energy & power infrastructure, and general industrial manufacturing. All deliverables align with IFC Performance Standards, GMP practices, FSSAI guidelines, PESO regulations, and Indian Standards.
  • Brownfield Project Management: The firm offers capacity‑expansion, process‑optimisation, automation upgrades, and ESG integration for operating facilities. By developing installation sequences, scheduling shutdowns, and executing parallel works, IMARC minimises production disruption. Brownfield projects are characterised by a faster time‑to‑value and lower capital intensity per unit of added capacity. Compliance activities cover SPCB consent modifications, Factories Act licensing, fire NOC updates, and sector‑specific authorisations.
  • ESG and Sustainability: ESG considerations are embedded from the design stage, with advisory on environmental impact studies, green‑building certification (LEED, IGBC), compliance audits, health‑safety audits, and EHS training. Energy‑efficient designs, renewable‑energy integration, and waste‑reduction strategies are standard components.
