The sector has been driven by rapid industrial growth and the emergence of e-commerce as a major driver of demand. The report highlights that Pune and NCR's contribution to the pan India Grade A/A+ warehousing demand was 45%, while MMR and NCR jointly had a demand touching 53% in the segment.
The various industries that made the most impact to achieve this growth are third-party logistics (27%), manufacturing (20%), and e-commerce (12%). This quarter has also seen a 1.2% decline in grade A/A+ vacancy levels of warehousing across top six cities as compared to Q1 2023.
The government's thrust on policy implementation, lower manufacturing costs, and availability of low-cost labor compared to developed countries have made India an attractive investment destination. The warehousing demand is expected to continue to grow in the future due to an increasing demand resulting from increased consumption.
The Indian real estate sector has witnessed a significant transformation over the last decade, with the warehousing sector emerging as a prominent asset class. The government's policy support, including infrastructure status to the logistics sector, GST implementation, and permitting 100% FDI in warehousing and storage, has been crucial in attracting investments in this sector.
