Bengaluru’s logistics and warehousing market recorded strong growth in the first half of 2026, with warehouse leasing rising 78% year-on-year to 3.1 million sq ft (MSF), according to Cushman & Wakefield’s H1 2026 Logistics & Industrial MarketBeat report.

Third-party logistics (3PL) companies were the largest source of warehouse demand, accounting for 58% of leasing. Manufacturing companies contributed 16%, e-commerce 15% and FMCG 8%.
The industrial segment also remained resilient, recording nearly 1.4 MSF of leasing in H1 2026. North Bengaluru accounted for 35% of industrial demand, led by Doddaballapur and KIADB Hardware Park at Devanahalli, while the western submarket contributed 28%.
Warehouse rentals in Bengaluru increased 4-5% annually during H1 2026, while industrial rentals rose 3-4%. Land prices also climbed 9-10% during the first half, underscoring continued investor and occupier interest in the city’s logistics and industrial corridors.
