According to a recent report, India's warehousing sector is expected to witness a significant surge in demand, driven by the growth of e-commerce, retail expansion, and global companies entering the Indian market. The report highlights that Pune, NCR, and MMR are leading the transformation, with India's favorable policies, competitive manufacturing costs, and ample labor making it an attractive investment destination.
The warehousing sector has seen a 5% increase in rentals during the March quarter, with an absorption-to-supply ratio of 1.4 times. The top industries driving this growth are Third Party Logistics (3PL) (27%), manufacturing (20%), and e-commerce (12%).
The Indian government's policy support, including infrastructure status to the logistics sector, GST implementation, and permitting 100% FDI in warehousing & storage, has been crucial in attracting investments in this sector. Warehousing as an asset class has become a preferred sector for many investors and developers, offering faster production, higher revenues, and lower risks.
