Many large international players are now actively seeking entry points in the India warehousing market. 鈥淭he liquidity infusion by global investors is prompting the market to develop more Grade-A warehousing space,鈥� says Chandranath Dey, Senior Director and Head - Industrial Consulting and Supply Chain Consulting, JLL India. 鈥淚ncreased capital will ensure more quality space is being built to fulfil the demand for warehouses near emerging urban areas across the country.鈥�

Foreign investors are entering the sector through investment platforms with the mandate of investing in industrial warehousing parks across the major cities of the country, says the ICRA report. Often, this is done by partnering with a local developer or, in some cases, a global warehousing operator. Notably, the total amount of equity commitments to such platforms is at least $ 2.5 billion over the past two years. Such investment commitments can support assets under management of over 130 million sq ft, according to ICRA estimates. This is almost double the size of the current estimated stock of Grade-A industrial warehousing in India and about 10 times the operational portfolio of such platforms currently.
