With a strong belief in the potential of the rental market, Godrej RenTRUST aims to cater to the evolving needs of industries including auto, engineering, chemicals and pharma, F&B, FMCG, logistics, 3PL, ecommerce and retail.

The Indian rental market, estimated at INR 2200 crores, has shown a remarkable growth trajectory, with the organized segment gaining ground year after year. By opting for equipment rentals, customers significantly reduce their involvement in servicing requirements. Industry studies indicate that in the entire lifecycle of equipment, service consumes approximately 20% of the cost and 15% of the time of consumers. Reducing either of these aspects empowers industry players to become more competitive in their respective sectors.

Renting equipment has become a preferred option for businesses seeking managed services and bypassing high upfront costs. Compared to purchasing equipment, rentals offer a cost-effective solution that allows companies to choose optimal equipment tailored to their specific requirements. By embracing rental solutions, businesses can eliminate hidden and obvious costs associated with equipment ownership, thereby increasing productivity, meeting compliance standards, and achieving overall cost savings.

Over the past five years, Godrej RenTRUST has achieved a CAGR of 20%, solidifying its position as a trusted and leading player in the material handling rental industry and growing further. In this highly unorganized industry, Godrej RenTRUST continues to provide marquee services to enable fully complaint and safe operations with certified operators and high-quality equipment, that can be digitally monitored in real time by the clients.

Commenting on this, Mr Anil Lingayat, Executive VP and Business Head, Godrej Material Handling, says, "We are thrilled to announce our investment of INR 100 crores in capital assets for Godrej RenTRUST, reflecting our strong belief in the rising demand for material handling solutions across the country.
