Global investment funds are increasingly targeting industrial land along India’s major economic corridors, recognizing the long-term potential for sustained value appreciation and stable income in the country’s infrastructure-driven growth model. With India advancing large-scale industrial networks under programs like PM Gati Shakti, the National Logistics Policy, and Dedicated Freight Corridors, institutional investors are positioning themselves early by acquiring or co-developing strategically located land parcels near emerging manufacturing and logistics hubs.
Key corridors such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), and Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC) are attracting global players who are leveraging joint ventures with Indian developers, landowners, and state industrial agencies to secure plots that can support build-to-suit campuses, logistics parks, and light industrial units. These areas offer a unique advantage: lower land costs compared to metros, high scalability, and guaranteed infrastructure upgrades, making them ideal for long-horizon investment strategies focused on capital growth, rental yields, and REIT-friendly assets.
By acquiring land early in the development cycle, global funds are not only locking in value at pre-boom prices but also gaining the flexibility to deploy capital in phased, market-aligned development models. As industrial demand intensifies—driven by e-commerce, EV manufacturing, and export-oriented production—land values along these corridors are expected to rise sharply. For global investors seeking exposure to India’s industrial growth story, land banking along these corridors represents a strategic hedge and a platform for long-term portfolio expansion in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
