In a record-breaking year for industrial and warehousing leasing, third-party logistics (3PL) firms have emerged as the dominant force, securing 41% of the total 395 lakh square feet leased across eight major Indian cities in 2024, according to CBRE.
The increase in leasing activity, supported by a supply boost of 386 lakh square feet, reflects the sector's resilience amidst global economic challenges. Key contributors to this supply include Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru, accounting for over half of the new space.
Looking forward, demand for in-city warehousing and quick-commerce is expected to rise, particularly in Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. As occupiers explore tier-II markets, cities like Chandigarh and Jaipur are projected to become central to warehousing expansion strategies.
