India’s ambitious push for infrastructure-led growth is increasingly attracting global industrial land investors, who view the country’s rapidly expanding network of freight corridors, expressways, ports, and logistics nodes as a powerful catalyst for long-term real estate value. As the government accelerates projects under PM Gati Shakti, the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), and industrial corridor development plans, international capital is flowing into regions that were once overlooked but are now becoming strategic hubs of manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics activity.
Foreign investors—including sovereign wealth funds, logistics REITs, private equity firms, and multinational developers—are particularly drawn to well-connected regions such as Dholera SIR (Gujarat), Oragadam (Tamil Nadu), Sanand (Gujarat), Chakan (Maharashtra), and Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh). These locations benefit from multimodal infrastructure that ensures seamless movement of goods, shorter lead times, and reduced operational costs—factors critical to global supply chain networks. The promise of plug-and-play industrial parks, dedicated freight lines, and integrated logistics zones is elevating investor confidence and driving land acquisition through joint ventures and platform-level investments.
Moreover, India’s policy alignment, such as 100% FDI in industrial parks, simplified land conversion rules, and sector-specific incentives, is minimizing regulatory friction and enhancing ease of doing business. The presence of international anchor tenants in these corridors is reinforcing the attractiveness of these destinations, creating a ripple effect of ecosystem development and land value appreciation.
In this context, infrastructure is not just a backdrop to industrial growth—it is the key enabler, transforming land from a passive asset to an active, yield-generating investment. For global investors, India’s infrastructure-led strategy offers a rare convergence of scale, speed, and strategic positioning, making it one of the most compelling destinations for industrial land investment in emerging markets today.
