Third-party logistics (3PL) players accounted for 35% of Grade A space uptake, followed by the engineering and FMCG segments. The supply of industrial and warehousing spaces rose 29% year-over-year (YoY) in the first three quarters of 2024, reaching about 22 million square feet. Delhi-NCR and Chennai cumulatively accounted for 53% of the overall leasing activity during this period.
At a micro-market level, Bhiwandi in Mumbai saw 3.7 million square feet of leasing activity in 2024, followed by Oragadam in Chennai and Chakan-Talegaon in Pune, both of which recorded more than 2.0 million square feet of demand. These areas continue to drive warehousing demand in their respective cities.
On a quarterly basis, Q3 2024 saw about 7.3 million square feet of industrial and warehousing demand across the top five cities, marking an 18% increase YoY. Delhi-NCR continued to lead the demand with 2.3 million square feet of leasing, representing about one-third of the total demand. The uptake was particularly significant in the Bhaproda and Kulana micro markets.
Vijay Ganesh, Managing Director, Industrial and Logistics Services, Colliers India, stated, 'With increased demand for quality Grade A spaces equipped with sustainable and technologically advanced features, leasing momentum by such firms is likely to continue over the next few years.'
The rise of quick commerce players is expected to further catalyze demand for larger hub-warehouses across major urban centers. The electronics segment, in particular, has shown heightened traction, with leasing activity doubling in the first three quarters of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
