13 Clusters Drive Warehousing Demand

India’s industrial and warehousing market is being led by 13 high-activity clusters, which are expected to command 70–80 per cent of demand and supply in the coming years, according to Colliers India.

These clusters accounted for around 75 per cent of Grade A industrial and warehousing demand and new supply over the past five years. India’s Grade A stock has reached nearly 300 million sq ft, almost double the 2021 level, with the 13 clusters holding around 215 million sq ft.

Chennai leads with three high-activity clusters, while Delhi NCR, Pune and Bengaluru have two each. Mumbai’s Bhiwandi remains India’s largest industrial and warehousing cluster, with about 42 million sq ft of Grade A stock, supported by access to JNPT and key transport corridors.

Farukh Nagar and NH 48 in Delhi NCR continue to benefit from industrial proximity and improved connectivity through freight corridors and expressways. Chennai’s NH 16, NH 48 and Oragadam, along with Bengaluru’s Hoskote-Narsapura-Soukya Road, are gaining from stronger regional linkages and demand from 3PL, engineering, e-commerce and automobile occupiers.

Bhiwandi leads 3PL demand, while Oragadam and Farukh Nagar are key hubs for engineering and e-commerce leasing respectively. Colliers said average rentals across most high-activity clusters are expected to firm up by 5–10 per cent year-on-year, supported by occupier preference for institutional-grade assets and ongoing infrastructure development.
