Amazon Signs Rs 400 Million Lease for Hooghly Warehouse

09 Sep 2025 CW Team

The upcoming facility, set to serve as a fulfilment centre (FC), has been pre-leased from Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. As per documents accessed via real estate analytics platform Propstack, the property handover will occur between January and June 2026, with the lease officially commencing on 1 June 2026. The agreement spans a period of 20 years.

Amazon will pay a monthly rent of approximately Rs 12.6 million, with escalations every three years. The total financial outlay for the lease is expected to exceed Rs 4 billion over the full term.

Although Amazon declined to comment on the transaction, experts view the deal as part of the company’s strategic focus on strengthening its logistics capabilities in Tier-2 and Tier-3 locations.

“This lease in Hooghly is among several high-value warehousing deals that highlight confidence in India’s organised logistics sector, fuelled by e-commerce growth,” said Raja Seetharaman, co-founder of Propstack.

The Hooghly agreement closely follows Amazon India’s June announcement of a Rs 20 billion investment to boost its operational infrastructure, including fulfilment speed and technological upgrades. The move reflects intensifying competition with Flipkart and quick-commerce players as consumer expectations for faster deliveries rise.

Amazon has recently leased warehousing space in multiple non-metro locations including Tiruvallur, Krishnagiri, Visakhapatnam, and Hubballi. This regional focus aligns with its broader strategy to enhance customer service and order processing capabilities across India.

“Amazon’s expansion in Hooghly and similar cities underscores its long-term commitment to managing surging order volumes and improving delivery timelines,” Seetharaman added.

Just last week, Amazon announced the opening of 12 new fulfilment centres and the expansion of six existing ones, reinforcing its aggressive scale-up in warehousing and logistics to meet evolving market demands.
