India's Warehousing and Logistics Industry Experiences Unprecedented Investment Growth

India's warehousing and logistics industry witnessed a sharp investment upsurge during 2024 when the industrial and warehousing segment accounted for a high proportion of total investments. The industry drew $2.5 billion in investments, up 190% from the previous year. This upsurge testifies to the ascendancy of India as a manufacturing and logistics base on the global map, supported by strong domestic demand and continuing global investor trust.

Key urban centers such as Mumbai spearheaded the investment trend, while efforts such as the National Logistics Policy and PM Gati Shakti have strengthened logistics infrastructure. The industry contributes approximately 13-14% to India's GDP, with private equity investments being a driving force behind its growth.
