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%).
