Warehouses are evolving

Think Warehouse or Godowns, and even 3-4 years back it would conjure images of dusty surroundings and interiors – haphazardly built and derelict looking structures of undefined shape located on the far outskirts of cities, structures with no more than 4 walls, stacked in a desultory manner with inventory from floor to ceiling. Jump ahead to 2024, and warehousing started being considered as a highly sought-after sub-set of the commercial real estate asset class and also looked at as a pivotal part of India’s logistics sector.

Moonwalk – enabling the growing popularity of Grade – A warehouses

With the lockdown on in full swing, 2020 saw large scale disruptions in supply chain. The significant dependence of the global supply chain on China was highlighted in no uncertain terms during COVID-19. A broad-based sentiment to move this concentration out of China emerged during Covid and the the proposals to shift to manufacturing locations other than Indian helped benefit India, and enable India to move away from China’s looming shadow. .

The Government’s program of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) that started focusing on limiting imports and increasing domestic manufacturing capabilities helped further in this regard. Government went a step further and introduced Production-Linked Incentives (PLIs) in various sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, food products, white goods, telecom & networking products, auto components, etc. They are playing a more role targeted towards attracting global manufacturers and showcasing India as a viable and strategically important manufacturing destination. 

When it comes to warehousing requirements, global manufacturers bring with them expectations of international standards of compliance, human safety, hygiene, and automation. Warehouse manufacturing companies of eminence like Moonwalk Infraprojects are leaving no stone unturned in creating Grade-A warehouses with a conscious shift towards technological advancement, modernization, optimization, and automation. 

Rapid development activity in the warehousing world

Suitable land is the most essential requirement; but it is in extremely short supply. And therein lies the problem. Acquiring good trunk infrastructure is now proving to be a tedious process faced by many companies. Aggravating the situation and making it a big issue is the need to allocate enormous amounts of time and effort to deal with multiple state authorities and urban local bodies towards getting all requisite approvals in place. 

Built-to-suit, plug-and-play facilities are developed across the country by large developers, including Moonwalk Infraprojects and are showcased as viable and technological advanced solutions to international companies. Enabling them to say Good Bye while facing land acquisition issues when working towards setting up and/or bolstering their India presence. 

A rapid scaling-up of activity is being witnessed in warehouse construction, wherein leading players are developing warehouses/industrial parks close to industrial clusters across the length and breadth of the nation. 

Warehousing, leading to immense growth

The warehousing segment slowly being acknowledged as one of the quickest asset classes to recover from the rigours of the pandemic. Institutional investors and large-scale developers are stepping into the fray to participate, and supplemented by the robust demand and key policy interventions, the way for growth is being paved for the growth of the sector.

In the warehousing sector in India, all the enabling elements – supportive government policies, large amounts of private capital, enabling trunk infrastructure and most importantly, end-user acceptance are landing in place. The entire enabling ecosystem is being fine-tuned towards large-scale adoption and rapid growth. With all these engines of growth firing on all cylinders, the time has come for warehouse manufacturing companies of repute like Moonwalk Infraprojects to transform India’s humble ugly Godown into integrated modern warehouses.
