The transaction underscores sustained demand for Grade A logistics assets in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, driven by e-commerce expansion and supply chain optimisation. Industry experts say the deal highlights Bhiwandi's strategic importance as a warehousing hub, supported by strong connectivity, modern infrastructure, and its proximity to Mumbai's key consumption centres.
Amazon Seller Services has leased more than 4.17 lakh sq ft of warehousing space in Bhiwandi, near Mumbai, reinforcing the location's position as one of India's largest logistics and warehousing hubs. The long-term lease, with a total rental commitment of approximately INR 162 crore, reflects continued demand for Grade A industrial and logistics assets from e-commerce and third-party logistics operators.
According to property registration documents reviewed by industry sources, the warehouse has been leased in the One K Square Logistics Park developed by K Square Warehousing Pvt Ltd. The agreement covers around 417,000 sq ft of space and has been executed for a long-term tenure, indicating Amazon's continued investment in strengthening its fulfilment and distribution network in western India.
The transaction is expected to support Amazon's logistics operations across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), enabling faster deliveries and improved inventory management. Bhiwandi has emerged as a preferred destination for large warehouse developments due to its strategic location, offering connectivity to Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), and major national highways.
The lease also highlights the growing importance of institutional-grade logistics parks as occupiers increasingly seek modern warehousing facilities equipped with efficient storage systems, transportation access, and compliance with evolving operational standards. Large e-commerce companies continue to expand their logistics footprints to meet rising consumer demand and improve supply chain resilience.
Industry experts note that Bhiwandi remains one of the country's busiest warehousing markets, attracting occupiers from sectors including e-commerce, retail, consumer goods, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and third-party logistics. The availability of large land parcels, established industrial infrastructure, and improving road connectivity has helped the region maintain strong leasing momentum.
The transaction comes amid sustained growth in India's warehousing sector, supported by increasing online retail penetration, supply chain diversification, and investments in organised logistics infrastructure. Developers have continued to add Grade A warehouse stock across key logistics corridors, while institutional investors remain active in acquiring and developing industrial and warehousing assets.
Industry observers believe demand for high-quality logistics facilities is likely to remain robust as companies focus on expanding distribution networks closer to major consumption centres. Warehousing demand has also been supported by the implementation of technology-driven inventory management systems and the need for faster order fulfilment.
With one of the largest warehouse leasing transactions in the Mumbai region this year, Amazon Seller Services' latest agreement further strengthens Bhiwandi's status as a critical logistics gateway. The deal reflects continued confidence in India's organised warehousing market and the long-term growth prospects of the country's e-commerce and logistics sectors.
