How Amazon Is Expanding Its Logistics Network in India
Amazon continues to expand its logistics and infrastructure network across India to support growing customer demand. The company regularly invests in warehouses, fulfilment centres, and strategic land acquisitions to strengthen its supply chain and improve delivery efficiency.
In recent months, Amazon leased 2.8 lakh sq. ft. of warehouse space in Bengaluru’s Nelamangala Corridor to expand its logistics operations. Amazon Data Services also acquired 10.61 acres of land near Mumbai for ₹125 crore, highlighting the company’s continued investment in digital infrastructure. The latest warehouse lease in Bhiwandi further strengthens Amazon’s logistics network and reinforces its long-term expansion strategy in India.
How E-Commerce Is Driving Demand for Warehousing Space
India’s e-commerce sector continues to increase the need for modern warehousing facilities. Companies require larger distribution centres to improve delivery speed and strengthen supply chain operations. As a result, demand for Grade A warehouse space has remained strong across major logistics hubs.
Large occupiers also prefer locations with strong highway connectivity and access to key consumption centres. Long-term warehouse leases have become more common as businesses continue expanding their logistics networks. This trend continues to support steady growth across India’s industrial real estate sector.
Why Bhiwandi Continues to Attract Large Warehousing Occupiers
Bhiwandi has become one of India’s most important warehousing destinations. The location offers excellent connectivity through the Mumbai-Nashik Highway, the Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway, and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). These transport links help businesses move goods efficiently across western India.
Several leading companies already operate warehouses in Bhiwandi. The location offers access to Mumbai, nearby industrial clusters, and major transport corridors. These advantages continue to attract large occupiers from the e-commerce, retail, and logistics sectors.
What Does This Deal Say About India’s Warehousing Market?
Large warehouse leases continue to highlight the strength of India’s industrial real estate market. Businesses are investing in modern logistics facilities to support faster deliveries and growing customer demand. Long-term leasing activity also reflects confidence in India’s expanding warehousing sector.
