What actually happened?
Warehouse demand in Maharashtra grew 18% in 2023, outpacing residential interest. The launch of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor in 2024 has added 30,000 km of freight tracks across the state. RERA 2024 eased approval timelines for logistics projects, cutting from 45 to 15 days.
What it means for buyers

2026 will see new smart warehouse projects in Pune’s industrial parks, incorporating AI‑based inventory systems. The state’s 2026 infrastructure plan promises additional 10,000 km of feeder roads, further easing last‑mile delivery. Keep an eye on RERA’s upcoming updates on green‑building mandates for logistics.
