Why warehousing skills are in demand

  • Record leasing. Colliers reported 36.9 million sq ft of industrial and warehousing leasing across India’s top eight cities in 2025, up 16% and the highest in recent years, with 41.7 million sq ft of new supply.
  • 3PL and e-commerce growth. Third-party logistics companies took 32% of Grade A space, about 12 million sq ft, and e-commerce firms signed large fulfilment-centre deals. Knight Frank estimates warehousing stock across eight major markets at 549 million sq ft.
  • Kerala is building. The state’s Logistics Park Policy offers capital subsidies of up to Rs 7 crore for logistics parks; CONCOR and the Central Warehousing Corporation have cleared logistics parks near Vizhinjam; and Cochin airport has expanded its export cargo warehouse to 1.25 lakh tonnes a year.
  • A consumption state. Kerala consumes more than 6% of India’s FMCG goods, which all pass through distribution warehouses.
