India’s warehousing sector has moved beyond mere storage to become a critical enabler of industrial efficiency,  speed, reliability, and competitiveness as businesses scale and operations grow more time-sensitive. This  evolution reflects bigger changes in how goods are produced, distributed, and consumed, as well as how  organisations approach cost, location, and responsiveness.

It is this transformation that has driven the evolution of logistics parks, which have adapted to meet the demands  of modern manufacturing, rising consumer expectations, and increasingly dynamic business requirements.

From godowns to organised warehousing 

For much of India’s industrial real estate history, warehousing existed in a fragmented, unorganised form. Small  godowns and basic sheds were built close to ports, mandis, highways, or railheads, designed purely to hold  inventory. Layouts were inconsistent, safety standards were minimal, mechanisation was limited, and  connectivity to organised transport networks was weak. The gradual transition towards organised warehousing  marked a turning point, introducing standardisation, professional management, and infrastructure designed for  all business requirements rather than just storage alone.

Today, warehouses are increasingly recognised as strategic assets that influence working capital, fulfilment  speed, customer satisfaction, and business continuity. They have evolved into logistics parks built to enable  distribution, integrating warehousing, transport, and technology to move goods faster and more efficiently,  often alongside industrial clusters.
