India Logistics Figures H2 2025

India’s logistics sector sustained its leasing momentum through H2 (July-December) 2025, with warehousing absorption exceeding 30 million sq. ft. This growth was primarily fuelled by demand from third-party logistics (3PL) and engineering & manufacturing (E&M) sectors. The market’s resilience was further bolstered by the aggressive expansion of e-commerce and quick-commerce players, signalling a robust and increasingly diversified occupier landscape.

Key market trends highlighted in CBRE Research's India Logistics Figures H2 2025 report include:

• Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Chennai emerged as the primary leasing hubs, driving 64% of the half-yearly space take-up.
• 3PL players remained the largest occupier cohort, securing about 44% of total space absorption. Additionally, E&M firms increased their leasing share to 20%, aided by ongoing infrastructure upgrades and government policy initiatives such as the production-linked incentive scheme.
• Propelled by rising consumer demand and push for faster delivery timelines, the e-commerce sector's contribution to overall space take-up rose to 13% (from 10% in H2 2024).
• Supply addition reached close to 18 million sq. ft. in H2 2025; Chennai, Bengaluru, and Mumbai cumulatively accounted for more than 60% of total development completions.
