DHL Supply Chain India Pvt Ltd has strengthened its logistics presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region by leasing 4.17 lakh sq ft of warehouse space in Bhiwandi, one of India\u2019s most prominent warehousing hubs. The transaction is valued at over \u20b932 crore, as per the property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility is located in One Samruddhi Park, Bhiwandi, strategically positioned near the starting point of the 700 km Mumbai\u2013Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway. This connectivity advantage enhances access to key consumption and manufacturing corridors across Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhiwandi: A Strategic Warehousing Hotspot Near Mumbai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the region\u2019s excellent connectivity via the Mumbai\u2013Nashik Highway, Eastern Express Highway, and JNPA port corridor strengthens its role as a central distribution hub. With the upcoming Mumbai\u2013Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway, Bhiwandi is set to gain even greater accessibility, further boosting demand for large-format warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s logistics landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
