22 May 2026 CW Team

The average rental of industrial and warehousing space at Farukh Nagar and NH 48 in Delhi-NCR rose nearly 30 per cent in the last five years, Colliers India said. The consultant's latest report described India’s industrial and warehousing market as one of the best-performing real estate asset classes. It said that stronger demand for premium space and improving infrastructure underpinned the rise.

Grade A stock touched 299.2 million (mn) square feet at the end of the first quarter of 2026, almost twice inventory levels of 2021, the report stated. The data covered eight cities including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. Bhiwandi remained the largest cluster with about 42 mn sq ft of Grade A stock, followed by Farukh Nagar with 31.5 mn sq ft and NH 48 with 26.6 mn sq ft.

Colliers noted that there are forty industrial and warehousing clusters across the eight cities and thirteen of these are high-activity clusters with elevated demand and supply. Rental growth across high-activity clusters has ranged around fifteen to thirty-five per cent over the last five years, with prominent Delhi-NCR clusters such as Farukh Nagar and NH 48 recording close to thirty per cent. Markets in those corridors now command rents of Rs 21-28 per sq ft per month for industrial and warehousing facilities.

The consultant projected that rentals may firm by five to ten per cent annually across most high-activity clusters as occupiers prefer institutional-grade assets and infrastructure projects progress. It added that the thirteen high-activity clusters accounted for nearly three-fourths of Grade A space uptake and new supply, collectively witnessing close to 130 mn sq ft of demand and supply each during the last five years. Vijay Ganesh, who leads Industrial & Logistics Services at Colliers India, said the sector is entering an accelerated growth phase anchored by policy support and multi-modal connectivity improvements.
