• At 16 mnsqft, apparel, sportswear and footwear categories account for the largest share (43 per cent) in demand for warehousing space within the retail sector
• E-tail emerges as the major driver for warehousing space; demand to increase by 60 per cent to 8 mn sqft by 2020
• Nearly 50 per cent of NCR’s current warehousing requirement comes from three industries – automobile, cement and food processing
• 80 per cent of NCR’s total warehousing requirement is catered to by the NH-8 and Ghaziabad warehousing clusters
• Investors can fetch a return of maximum 16 per p.a. in the NH-8 warehousing cluster; however, the returns in Ghaziabad cluster can go up to 18 per cent p.a.
