The eastern submarket accounted for 46 per cent driven by demand in Hoskote, while northern and southern submarkets contributed the remaining share. Third-party logistics companies emerged as the largest occupier segment, accounting for 58 per cent of warehouse leasing, followed by manufacturing at 16 per cent, e-commerce at 15 per cent and FMCG at eight per cent.
