India is witnessing a significant uptick in land aggregation activity along upcoming industrial corridors, as developers, institutional investors, and logistics operators race to secure strategic parcels ahead of the next wave of infrastructure-led industrial expansion. Driven by government-backed projects such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), and East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC), these areas are becoming hotspots for pre-development land banking as stakeholders anticipate rising demand from manufacturing, warehousing, and allied sectors.
Regions like Dholera (Gujarat), Tumakuru (Karnataka), Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), and Bhimnagar (Rajasthan) are seeing the consolidation of fragmented parcels into large, contiguous tracts suitable for integrated industrial development. Joint ventures between landowners, developers, and private equity players are becoming increasingly common, enabling aggregation at scale while mitigating title risks and easing regulatory compliance. Many of these parcels are being earmarked for plug-and-play industrial parks, build-to-suit logistics hubs, and sector-specific clusters catering to high-growth industries like EVs, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
The government’s support through digitized land records, zoning clarity, fast-track approvals, and fiscal incentives is further accelerating the aggregation process. As infrastructure continues to roll out under initiatives like PM Gati Shakti and the National Logistics Policy, land aggregation is evolving from a speculative exercise into a strategic prelude to industrial transformation. By securing land early, stakeholders are positioning themselves to capitalize on the inevitable demand surge, making corridor-linked land aggregation a cornerstone of India’s next-generation industrial real estate strategy.
