Quick-commerce and FMCG drive 66% rise in Delhi NCR warehousing

Companies that sell things online want to deliver faster, so they are renting more warehouses near Delhi.

In the first half of 2026, they rented warehouses covering 8 million square feet — 66% more than the year before.

Most of the new warehouses are in places like Gurgaon, Farukhnagar and Ghaziabad.

Many brands hire special logistics firms to store and deliver their products, and these firms rented almost half of the space.

Drink and food companies doubled their warehouse space because a long, hot summer made people buy more cold drinks.

Very big warehouses, over 100,000 square feet, made up most of the deals.

Because so many companies want space, empty warehouses have become rare.

That has pushed up rents and made land prices jump by as much as 30%, and even 67% in Faridabad.

More than 4 million square feet of new space is coming soon, but for now space is hard to find.
