India’s industrial and warehousing market is entering a transformative phase, driven by policy initiatives, infrastructure expansion, evolving consumer demand, supply chain recalibration, and rapid technology adoption, according to Colliers’ report, India’s Emerging Industrial & Warehousing Corridors: Mapping the Next Growth Frontier. With manufacturing projected to rise from 17 per cent to 25 per cent of GDP by 2035, the sector is emerging as a high-growth frontier, supported by demand for modern warehouses and strong institutional investments. According to the report, cities across the country are poised for growth through industrial corridors, smart cities, multimodal logistics, and sector-specific initiatives like BioPharma SHAKTI and Semiconductor Mission 2.0. Key factors influencing growth include enhanced connectivity along freight corridors, upcoming industrial smart cities, proposed Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs), expansion of sea and airport linkages, and development of integrated textile hubs, positioning India’s industrial and warehousing landscape for long-term expansion and investment opportunities.
