Delhi NCR Warehousing Stock To Surpass 120 Million Sq Ft

10 Mar 2026 CW Team

Market participants attribute the growth to rising e-commerce volumes and reconfiguration of supply chains that prioritise faster last mile delivery. Investment activity has been supported by institutional capital seeking stable, income generating assets and by occupiers seeking modern, higher clear height facilities. Vacancy levels in core submarkets have tightened, placing upward pressure on rents in several corridors. Developers are focusing on sustainability and modern features such as higher clear heights and improved dock configurations.

In Sydney the pipeline of new warehouse space is forecast to reach one point four mn sqm over the next 12 months, with the under construction stock showing a precommitment rate of 58 per cent. Developers report that the level of precommitment reflects a measured approach to delivery amid stronger demand for well located distribution hubs. The delivery schedule is expected to alleviate some near term shortages while supporting logistical efficiency. Supply timing will be critical as occupiers balance cost and service requirements carefully.

Greater Jakarta logistics stock reached three point one mn sqm in 2025 as net absorption hit 489,500 sqm for the year, setting a new annual record. The strong take up underlines the rapid expansion of regional manufacturing and the need for strategically sited logistics parks. Observers expect continued development activity in primary corridors even as occupiers optimise networks and seek cost efficient last mile solutions. Policy support and transport infrastructure improvements are expected to influence the pace of development and operational efficiency.
