Amazon India has leased 278,000 square feet of warehouse space in Bengaluru in the southern metropolis for a monthly rent of Rs 7,300,000, equivalent to 7.3 million (mn) rupees. The leased area equals 0.278 million (mn) square feet and is intended for logistics operations in the city to support both consumer and business deliveries. The transaction reflects the firm's ongoing expansion of its distribution infrastructure across key urban centres. The lease was executed through standard commercial lease documentation.

The deal is consistent with broader trends in logistics real estate, where demand for large format assets remains strong and where institutional capital is active. Leasing of such large warehouses in the metropolitan region helps retailers and marketplaces optimise inventory placement and reduce transit times for last mile operations. Bengaluru has become a focal point for last mile distribution given its population density and commercial activity.

Landlords continue to convert or develop properties to meet the specific requirements of logistics tenants faced with complex storage and handling needs. The lease will support faster deliveries and more efficient inventory management for e commerce operations serving the region and will help reduce lead times. The scale of the transaction highlights the importance of Bengaluru in national logistics networks.

On a monthly basis the rent translates to roughly Rs 26 per square foot, which compares favourably with prevailing inner city logistics rents and provides landlords with steady income streams. The size of the leased module and the rental quantum signal continued investor confidence in the sector and underline the asset class appeal of warehousing. Observers note that supply of grade logistics stock remains a priority for developers to support rising online retail volumes.
