The Rising Need of Warehousing in India

India?s warehousing requirement is expected to grow at

an annual average rate of 9% to 1,439 million sq. ft. in

2019 from 919 million sq. ft. in 2014, according to global property consultancy Knight Frank.

The India Logistics and Warehousing Report 2014 released by Knight Frank said thatthe government?s renewed focus on incentivizing the manufacturing sector is the key to the growth of warehousing, adding that the logistics market will reap the benefits of this growth in coming years.

The additional demand for warehousing space per year will be around 104 million sq. ft. till 2015 and will entail investments of about `15,000-16,000 crore every year, the agency estimated.

The investments will go towards land acquisition and cost of construction.

?Investment in warehouse can provide an opportunity of realizing returns in the range of 12%-20% per annum to investors willing to explore this sector,? the report said.1
