COVER STORY

GRAPH C
India’s warehousing and industrial
market reached a total stock of 513
million square feet across the top eight
markets in the first half of 2025. Despite
26.9 million square feet of new space
becoming operational, supply remained
insufficient to meet high demand,
resulting in a decline in overall vacancy
rates from 13.1% in H1 2024 to 12.1% in
H1 2025.
Lower vacancy rates imply higher
occupancy and operational activity,
which in turn drives consistent demand
for cleaning and FM services to ensure
warehouses remain functional, safe
and compliant with quality standards.
This data is presented in the ‘Stock and
Vacancy’ graph D.
Bright Ahead

According to the report, the Indian
warehousing market is poised for
continued growth in the second half
of 2025. The 42% year-on-year rise
in transaction volumes during H1
underscores the country’s economic
strength and stability. Meanwhile,
the manufacturing sector is expected
to remain a key driver, as companies
continue to diversify and de-risk their
supply chains away from China.
