Indian warehousing demand set to reach 1.2 billion sq ft by 2027

A notable shift towards high-quality infrastructure is driving the growth, with Grade A warehousing stock expected to increase from 290 million sq ft in 2023 to 400 million sq ft by 2027. E-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL), and omni-channel retail are emerging as primary drivers of this surge, especially in Tier I and increasingly in Tier II and III cities.

Warehouse absorption in Tier II and III markets saw a 41% rise from 11.6 million sq ft in 2022 to 16.4 million sq ft in 2023. This shift signals a growing emphasis on expanding logistics infrastructure beyond metro cities to meet rising regional demand...

The rise of automation is another key trend shaping the sector. By 2026, India is expected to become one of the top six users of warehouse automation systems globally, with the market estimated to reach $2 billion annually.

India's office space market is poised for a record-breaking year in 2024, with demand projected to surpass 70 million square feet, according to a recent report by Savills India, a global real estate advisory firm. This surge is attributed to robust activity in key sectors such as IT-BPM, flexible workspaces, and BFSI.

Between January and September 2024, office space absorption reached 55.1 million square feet, marking a 30% year-on-year increase across six major cities. This figure aligns with the total absorption for the entire year of 2022, setting a new benchmark for the January-September period. With only 7 million square feet needed to exceed 2023's total, 2024 is on track to achieve absorption levels between 70 and 74 million square feet.

The third quarter of 2024 alone saw office absorption rise to 20.2 million square feet, a 28% increase from the same period in 2023.

Millet no-one will eat if they have wheat and rice, coz it tastes crap and rice is more nutritionally rich than wheat is.

what is problem in wheat (except gluten)...it is good source of fiber nd protein. white rice hv also protein, but problem is high carbs. which can be problematic if u r not active person.
in uttarakhand many people eat ragi/madwa (finger Millet) chapati with mixing some wheat, that is very healthy...as rice substitute in villages some people eat red rice, which is also very healthy. i tried it, but its not smooth like white rice nd little rough to eat. but red rice kheer hv good taste.

we just need to look at their old jhumlas. they had started this jhumla of "jobless growth" years back for political reasons. so much effort is being put into disproving this theory.

in the mean time, so many opeds, so many academic papers, so many TV debates to promote this jhumla that came from this cozy club.

They use flagging 2 wheeler sales to show "rural distress" and lack of consumption. I was surprised that that metric was not used in the article .. Then I checked ..

Car sales in Dhanteras, Diwali to push October numbers over 4.5 lakh units

October 2021 expected to be record-breaking for passenger vehicle sales with strong Dhanteras and Diwali sales boosting numbers.

thanks to 2 festivals this month, October car sales are expected to be at a record ~4.5 lakh units.

So called Experts have created a mayhem on twitter that Auto industry is on verge of collapse and sales are destroyed and over 8 lac cars in inventory lying unsold.

They are doing a clever job of putting lies. Every year there is trend of Car sales declining from August to October and then it rises again in festive season. They are not comparing Sep’24 with Sep’23 but Sep’24 with Aug’24 and saying 18% decline in automobile sales. But compared to Sep’23 auto sales were up like 3-4%.

Also the figure of 7-8lacs lying unsold is almost a lie and fabrication of auto pundits from some major left leaning media groups.​

 

[SKC]

Hero group ended up selling over 6 lacs two wheelers in September month which is their highest ever. All other groups have sold in higher numbers than before.​

there is one more factor in between i.e tax to gdp ratio, which is about 12% for India . government spending has to be proportional to the earnings, since rest of it loans. in other words, country with high tax incomes can spend more, countries with low incomes from tax spend less.

if loans and spending are more than incomes, economy goes kaput like pakiland.
if spending is deliberately lowered to reduce loans, economy goes kaput like germany.

there is no perfect equation, the world is in a mess anyways. being able to survive economically is a big deal these days.

okkkk..thnx. but low government expenditure in gpd percentage also means that bigger share from private sector nd other sectors r involve in genrating gdp more. which is good thing, na? so if government face economy problem (less tax collection etc), priavte sector can give support to economy. my mean is private sector is more indipendent in genrating gdp.

To be fair .. there is a world of difference between germany going kaput and the grass eaters going kaput .

in India's case, it is us the public who keep the GDP numbers afloat. 60% of GDP is private consumption. in the chart below, you will notice that private consumption is almost three times of exports, and two times capital formation.

gormint-private sector-public spending are all inter dependant. if there is disruption in one, the other two get effected. if public is buying less, private sector sells less, and gormint gets less revenue.

sure a percentage here and there can be managed, but majority of times all three factors have to be in sync.

as of now, what is happening is that private sector is lagging behind in their capital investments. gormint is managing GDP growth numbers by spending on large infra projects. there is an ongoing discussion that private sector have to pull up their socks and do their part in capital expenditure, rather than gormint taking loans to build infra.
