The country's Grade A warehousing stock is projected to surpass 300 million sq ft by 2025, providing a promising outlook for stakeholders. The report also revealed that the warehousing demand/leasing of 20.3 million sq ft in H1 2024 far surpassed new supply, which stood at 14.8 million sq ft. The segment also recorded the lowest ever vacancy rate of 8.2%.
Regional trends, such as a 25% increase in Grade A supply in Bengaluru between Q1 and Q2 2024, are also driving the growth of the warehousing infrastructure in the city. Pune has also witnessed a significant demand for Grade A warehousing space, contributing to the overall demand in the market. Despite a surge in demand, Pune faces a supply shortage, with the demand-to-supply ratio hitting 2x, indicating the potential for significant new development in the coming quarters.
Similarly, Chennai registered a demand-to-supply ratio of 1.6x, highlighting the increasing attractiveness of its logistics infrastructure. With a vacancy rate of just 7.4%, the city is poised to maintain its upward trajectory as more industries look to establish a presence in this vital southern market. This also indicates the region's emerging role as a logistics and manufacturing hub.
Warehousing rentals have also increased by 4% YoY, driven by the gap between the burgeoning demand for high-quality warehousing and the limited supply. The persistent demand is primarily driven by third-party logistics, manufacturing, and electronics sectors accounting for nearly two-thirds of the demand for Grade A spaces.
