Bhiwandi, a Warehouse Hub
Bhiwandi is rapidly emerging as a key warehouse hub in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. In September 2025, Zomato Hyperpure Private Limited, the B2B supply arm of food delivery platform Zomato, leased a large warehouse space measuring 5.53 lakh sq ft in Bhiwandi, Thane district, near Mumbai, for approximately ₹1.7 crore per month. The warehouse was leased from Zuijin Developers Private Limited for a period of four years and seven months.
As per the lease agreement, the handover was scheduled for September 1, 2025, followed by a rent-free fit-out period of 150 days to enable the tenant to set up and operationalise the facility. Bhiwandi is located at the starting point of the 701-km-long Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway, also known as Samruddhi Mahamarg.
The Maharashtra government has identified 24 development nodes for agri-processing, industrial estates, tourism, and skill hubs. Logistics and warehousing clusters are planned in key cities, including Nashik, Aurangabad, and Bhiwandi, to boost job creation and investment, particularly in underdeveloped districts such as Wardha, Washim, and Jalna.
This strategic location and the government's initiatives are expected to further enhance Bhiwandi's appeal as a logistics and warehousing hub, attracting more investments and driving economic growth in the region.
