Bhiwandi: A Strategic Warehousing Hotspot Near Mumbai
Over the years, Bhiwandi has evolved into one of the most significant warehousing destinations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Additionally, its proximity to key consumption centres such as Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai makes it a preferred choice for logistics and e-commerce players.
Moreover, the region’s excellent connectivity via the Mumbai–Nashik Highway, Eastern Express Highway, and JNPA port corridor strengthens its role as a central distribution hub. With the upcoming Mumbai–Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway, Bhiwandi is set to gain even greater accessibility, further boosting demand for large-format warehouses.
Consequently, several global occupiers, 3PL providers, and retail companies continue to lease significant warehousing spaces in the area. As a result, Bhiwandi consistently records some of the highest leasing activity in the Mumbai warehousing market, reaffirming its position as a powerhouse in India’s logistics landscape.
