In a burgeoning trend, warehousing rents in India's major cities saw a notable rise, driven largely by increasing demand. According to a report from Knight Frank, a real estate consultancy, the January-March period showed significant rent growth across eight major urban centers.
Mumbai, the nation's largest warehouse market, led the surge with a 5% annual increase, reaching Rs 24.7 per square foot. Following closely, Kolkata mirrored this growth percentage. Meanwhile, Ahmedabad's rental rates climbed by 4%.
The leasing market also reported an impressive 50% increase in activity, amounting to 16.7 million square feet, compared to the previous year. Despite this demand, the report notes a stable rent environment sustained by limited supply dynamics.
