India’s rapidly developing highway-connected industrial corridors are igniting an investor rush for strategically located industrial land, as improved connectivity, lower logistics costs, and government-backed infrastructure attract capital from across the industrial value chain. With the rollout of expressways under Bharatmala and integration with industrial projects under PM Gati Shakti and the National Infrastructure Pipeline, land along major highway-linked corridors is now considered a prime investment asset, particularly for warehousing, light manufacturing, and logistics-driven development.
Regions such as Chakan and Talegaon (Maharashtra), Sanand (Gujarat), Oragadam (Tamil Nadu), and Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh)—located near major highways and freight terminals—are experiencing a surge in land acquisition by developers, institutional investors, and multinational occupiers. The appeal lies in seamless access to urban consumption centers, ports, and rail hubs, which reduces turnaround time for goods movement and enhances supply chain efficiency. These locations are being transformed into logistics parks, industrial clusters, and build-to-suit zones, often with support from state-level industrial policies that offer zoning clarity, tax incentives, and fast-track approvals.
The rising demand is also driving land value appreciation, prompting early-stage land aggregation by landowners and private equity-backed platforms looking to secure scalable parcels before prices peak. This investor momentum is reshaping India’s industrial landscape, shifting focus away from traditional metros to infrastructure-optimized corridors where asset quality, accessibility, and growth potential converge. As highway infrastructure continues to evolve, these corridors are expected to remain at the forefront of India’s industrial land boom, serving as key gateways to manufacturing growth and global supply chain integration.
