Due to growth in both the consumer sector and e-commerce in India, overseas investors and real estate players are increasingly investing in warehousing and logistics.
Key players such as Singapore’s Ascendas-Singbridge, Assetz Property Group, Ohio-based Logos Realty, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and the Everstone Group, among others, have made major investments in this segment.
Some quotes from senior management:
“We are seeing extensive demand from our existing and new customers for institutional grade logistics facilities in the region,” said Trent Iliffe, joint managing director, Logos.
“We have been in India for over two decades, developing iconic business and IT Parks… Entering the industrial and logistics sector is a natural progression,” Miguel Ko, group CEO Ascendas-Singbridge said.
Srinivas N, managing director, Industrial Services, of Chicago-based JLL India, said, “Thanks to fresh investments, supply and interest in this sector, the Indian logistics industry is set to reach the next level.”
“It is a good time for developers/investors to evaluate this sector to add to quality organized warehousing infrastructure keeping in perspective the latent demand and consolidation/expansion expected post-GST roll out,” said Shyam Arumugam, associate director, Office Services, of Canada-based Colliers International India.
