Market potential
Indore has always been a warehousing hub. The tier II city boasts lower rentals, cheaper construction/land costs, and offer better ease of doing business with no or minimum union issues as compared to cities like Mumbai and elsewhere in India.
However, many of the older godowns and transport areas in and around Indore, measuring almost about 1000 acres, have now transformed into residential areas. Today, companies have to look for storage and distribution facilities on the outskirts of the city. This is where Empire Logipark plays an important role as a service provider to meet warehousing needs combined with modern-day offerings. The services provided by Empire Logipark are unmatchable and its ecstatic facility mesmerise the huge clientele.
Avenue Supermarts, commonly known as DMart- an Indian chain of hypermarkets owns around 125,000 sq ft of warehousing space at Empire Logipark. It serves as the distribution centre for entire Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as well as parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Indore’s industrial infrastructure
As far as Madhya Pradesh is concerned, Indore is known to be its business capital. Supported by industrial hubs Pithampur and Dewas, Indore is always the first choice for warehousing demands. Also, the geographical location of Indore offers a lot of advantages. Being in the centre of the country, most of the important roads cross through or around Indore, which makes it easier for logistics companies to deliver to and from the city.
Since 2018, the warehousing market in Indore has experienced exponential growth. In fact, in the last two years, the nearby areas in the vicinity of Empire Logipark have seen about 1.5 million sq ft of warehouses being leased to national and multi-national companies.
At present, with the pandemic subsiding, Indore is seeing a sudden surge in warehousing demand as e-commerce business is at an all-time high with people buying goods and services online increasing more than ever before.
In line with this, in the next 3-5 years, Empire Logipark is aiming to play a major role and achieve at least 2 million sq ft of leasing.
