India’s newly developing infrastructure-led growth zones are rapidly emerging as prime hotspots for industrial land buyers, driven by their strategic positioning along national logistics networks and robust policy backing. With government initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti, Bharatmala, and the National Logistics Policy reshaping the industrial landscape, regions anchored by new highways, expressways, rail freight corridors, and port-linked logistics parks are becoming high-priority investment destinations. These zones are designed to deliver not just physical connectivity but also plug-and-play industrial infrastructure, enabling faster deployment for manufacturers and logistics operators.
Locations like Dholera (Gujarat), Oragadam (Tamil Nadu), Chakan (Maharashtra), and Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) have seen a surge in land demand from institutional investors, private equity firms, and industrial developers eager to tap into long-term capital appreciation and yield potential. These areas offer industrial land parcels with integrated utilities, multimodal access, and government approvals, significantly reducing entry barriers and development risks. The increased focus on build-to-suit, ESG-compliant facilities, and cluster-based industrial models has further elevated the investment appeal of these regions.
Moreover, infrastructure-led growth zones support decentralized economic development, offering scalable land at more affordable rates compared to traditional metros, which is particularly attractive for mid-sized manufacturers and global supply chain anchors. As infrastructure projects near completion and tenant absorption picks up, these zones are poised to deliver high returns on industrial land, making them essential components of future-proof industrial real estate portfolios. With strong tailwinds from both policy and demand, these growth nodes are redefining India’s industrial investment landscape.
