Brookfield is emerging as the highest bidder for a significant logistics and warehousing portfolio in India valued at around five thousand crore rupees. This potential transaction underscores a growing institutional appetite for industrial real estate as the country accelerates its role in global supply chains and domestic consumption strengthens.
The portfolio in question comprises approximately thirteen million square feet of completed logistics assets. These properties originate from a joint venture between ESR Group and Allianz Real Estate, along with additional assets fully owned by ESR. The collection is strategically spread across some of India’s most active logistics corridors. Locations include Bhiwandi near Mumbai, the Chakan industrial belt in Pune, the fast evolving warehousing clusters of Gurgaon and Sohna in the National Capital Region, the established manufacturing hub of Oragadam near Chennai and Uluberia in West Bengal that supports the eastern infrastructure network.
A successful acquisition would position Brookfield as a deeper force within the country’s rapidly maturing logistics landscape. The firm has already been steadily expanding its presence in infrastructure and industrial real estate. This move further reinforces confidence in India’s long term economic direction where supply chain localisation, growth of third party logistics providers, expansion in manufacturing and increasing demand for quality storage and distribution facilities are becoming defining themes.
Sector watchers note that high quality logistics parks with strong tenant profiles and proximity to transport infrastructure are gaining favour among global investors seeking stable returns. For India, such investments help modernise logistics which is vital for improving cost efficiency and reliability across industries from e-commerce to automotive and pharmaceuticals.
While final closure is awaited, the proposed deal signals continued momentum in the industrial real estate sector. It also highlights the shift of global capital towards assets aligned with the next phase of India’s economic growth where timely movement of goods is a strategic priority rather than a backend function.
