Introduction
                                                    The Indian Logistics Sector has in recent times been in a transformation
                                                    mode. Against the backdrop of expansion in the economy, the logistics
                                                    industry has assumed a pivotal role in reducing costs by improving
                                                    efficiency and increasing competitiveness. The interplay of infrastructure,
                                                    technological advancements and newer types of services associated with
                                                    this industry is likely to define how it is going to help the customers in
                                                    reducing costs with the provision of efficient services.

                                                    Interestingly, likely change in government taxation policies and regulation
                                                    of service providers would be the most important factors in the process of
                                                    development of the industry. That apart, growth of overall logistics network
                                                    from the perspective of trade would be essential in assisting Government of
                                                    India’s ‘Make in India’ strategy.

                                                    In this paper, we tried to establish our views on the overall logistics sector
                                                    dynamics, location and cluster level analysis across top Indian cities
                                                    while estimating the impact of e-commerce on the industrial real estate
                                                    sector and effect of future Government taxation changes on the sector.
                                                    Subsequently, we have treated logistics related properties as a separate
                                                    and individual asset class within the industrial real estate sector.

1. Evolution of warehousing in India

The integration of the fragmented components of the logistics sector (such as services, transportation, packaging, tracking, etc.) and the move
from the use of traditional “godowns” to functional warehouses has, indeed, made the logistics sector much more efficient.

Although it has come a long way, India’s logistics sector still has a lot more to achieve in order to stand out in the global market. This can be
done primarily by the gradual improvement of two major aspects, e.g., transportation as well as warehousing and storage.

                                                                                                                                Growth of Indian

3. Storage and warehousing

Storage and warehousing is the second most important component in India’s logistics sector. With the modernisation of the logistics supply
chain, warehousing has become a critical function, and today, warehouses not only provide safe custody for goods, but also offer value-added
services, such as sorting, packing, blending and processing. Based on the type of goods stored, storage and warehousing can be categorised
under five major heads.

                                                            Driven by high retail

4. Major demand drivers for logistics

In India, export/import (EXIM) cargo, agriculture and manufacturing (textiles, auto and auto ancillary) have been identified as the traditional
growth drivers to the demand for warehouse space. Meanwhile, new growth drivers such as organised retail, information technology (IT),
telecommunications and healthcare can be considered as high potential sectors. The growth these drivers bring, coupled with the advent of
technological advancements, is likely to soar the demand for organised and automated warehouses going forward. The following are the major
demand drivers in the warehousing sector:

                                                    Consumption-led demand
                                                    • Per capita income - Growth of 10.4% in 2013-14
                                                    • Boomimg e-commerce industry
                                                    • E-commerce industry to reach USD 20 billion to USD 25 billion by 2017
                                                    • The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market is also gaining traction

Manufacturing-led demand
• Indian manufacturing GDP is approximately 15% of the total and stood at INR 8.6 trillion in 2013–14
• The manufacturing sector is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% since the past nine years
• The "Make in India" initiative is expected to boost the manufacturing sector to 10% growth
• The manufacturing sector spends 2-20% of its revenue on logistics

                                                    Agriculture-based demand
                                                    • India is the second largest producer of vegetables and fruits after China
                                                    • Because of the lack of infrastructure and broken cold chain, more than 30% of agri-produce is lost in fields
                                                      post harvesting
                                                    • According to a report by KPMG and the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India
                                                      (ASSOCHAM), there is a shortage of more than 10 million tonnes of cold storage for agri-produce in India

EXIM-based demand
• In 2013-14, all major and non-major Indian Ports in India, as listed by Indian Ports Association (IPA)
  handled about 972 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) cargo.
• EXIM cargo is expected to increase to 2,800 MMT by 2020
• Containers handling is growing at about 11% CAGR

Notably, eight top cities including Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune together contribute
close to 42 percent of the country’s total GDP3. And as a result, they can be considered as the country’s primary warehousing hubs. The Indian
warehousing sector is gradually shifting from unorganised to organised mode, and more high-quality warehouse spaces are being developed.
These high-quality warehouses, typically coined as Grades A and B warehouses, require automation and safety in operations and would be
equipped with vertical racking, reach trucks, automated conveyor systems, and fire sprinkler and hydrant systems, among others.

• Ahmedabad is home to several manufacturing sectors,
  including pharmaceutical and automobile (and its
  components).                                                                                                      Kalol
• A moderately large consumer market and a growing
  manufacturing base have made Ahmedabad one of the
  warehousing hubs in India.

• Ahmedabad’s connectivity to Mumbai and Delhi and its
  location in the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) has
  given an impetus to the warehousing sector.

• Historically, warehouses were developed along National
  Highway 8 (NH 8) (Aslali and Kheda), which connects
                                                                                                                                                       Naroda

• However, more recently, locations such as Changodar and                                 Sanand
  Bavla along NH 8A (connecting Rajkot) have emerged as
  preferred locations, with FMCG and e-commerce players

Major growth corridors
• Bengaluru, considered as the “Gateway to South India,” stands out as a major warehousing hub in India.
• Quality warehouse supply is available at reasonable costs and relative proximity to high-demand centres (such as Hyderabad, Chennai,
  Cochin and Mangalore), helping the warehousing industry in the city to grow.
• Most of the warehousing demand is expected to come from the eastern and north-eastern quadrants of Bengaluru, namely Old Madras Road
  (OMR) and areas in its vicinity such as Soukya Road, Siddhalghatta Road and Chintamani Road.
• Proximity to the airport, NH 207 and presence of an inland container depot (ICD) makes OMR a hot warehousing destination in Bengaluru.
• Prominent occupiers include Decathlon, Kuehne + Nagel, Safexpress, DHL and Lifestyle Group.

• Huge consumer base is the biggest advantage of Delhi NCR
  for being one of the largest warehousing nodes in India.
• Apart from this, Delhi’s position as a huge manufacturing
  location and hinterland, including the entire North India, also
  helps in the development of the warehousing locations.
                                                                                                                        Panipat
• Almost all major warehousing national-level developers
  are present in Delhi NCR, including IndoSpace, NDR
  Warehousing, AS Cargo, Acorn and Arshiya.
• Good-quality Grade A warehouses are being built by most of
  these developers in locations such as Pataudi, Dharuhera
  along NH 8, the busiest national highway in India.
• Large-scale Grade A warehouses are also being developed
  in the Farukh Nagar-Patli Road area near Manesar, where
  e-retail players have leased in the recent past.
• Being close to manufacturing hubs such as Manesar and                                                                               Sonipat

• The two busiest ports of India, JNPT and Mumbai
  ports, are major demand generators.
• The Panvel/JNPT area has evolved as a major
  warehousing location in Mumbai because of
  its proximity to the port and availability of large
  expanse of land. Multiple ICDs and free trade
  warehousing zones (FTWZs) are present here.
• Extended areas in Palaspe have become
  locations for warehouses such as that of Apollo
  Tyres. However, very expensive land parcels result in
  difficulty in the development of new warehouses here.

• Major supply of Grade A warehouses are available

The anticipated implementation of the GST from April 1, 2016 is also expected to bring in harmonisation of warehousing space in India. In the
current taxation environment (central sales tax or CST and value-added tax or VAT regime), companies that sell their products across India are
subject to both central and state taxes. As a result, these companies are forced to design their supply chain networks around the existing tax
frameworks rather than operational efficiencies. JLL analyses the pre- and post-GST scenario with a sample case as follows:

 Above Flow chart shows 3 supply chain scenarios. A: Sale to distributor in the                               After implementation of GST, warehousing structure is
 same state as of manufacturing | B: Sale to distributor in state other than state of                         expected to Restructure. Case D shows sale of the product
 manufacturing & C: Sale to distributor in state other than state of manufacturing but via                    to multiple states through a single Big Regional Warehouse
 Manufacturer’s small warehouse in the distributor’s state.                                                   without increasing FP to the consumer.
 FP to the consumer is maximum in Case B due to application of CST. In order to reduce                        This will eliminate presence of multiple state warehouses
 FP, manufacturer sells the product through owned small warehouses in the state of sale                       which will further optimize operational cost by implementing
 which will result into multiple small warehouses across country.                                             state of the art technologies and modern equipments in WH

Abbreviations and assumptions: VAT = Value-added tax (4%); CST = Central sales tax (4%); GST = Goods and services tax (4%); ITC = Input tax credit; SP = Selling price; FP = Final
price; C = Cost (INR 90); P = Profit (INR 10) | Note: The cases shown above use the same VAT and CST tax percentage across different states in order to explain the concept. Taxes
vary across different Indian states. Application of the type of taxes at different levels of sale is shown at each level. The current Indian taxation system does not allow tax collected
under CST to be adjusted against subsequent tax collected under VAT, as taxes under CST go to the central account and taxes collected under VAT go to the states’ accounts.

7. Foreign and private equity investments in the sector

The growth story of the Indian warehousing and logistics sector has indeed lured foreign investors and private equity firms in recent times.
Further, conducive policy environment-such as allowance of 100 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in warehouses and food storage
                     facilities under automatic routes and tax-free zones such as free trade warehousing zones (FTWZs)-has attracted many
                     foreign and private equity investments in the sector in the last few years.

8. Leaps ahead

Like in a hurdle race, Indian logistics is in a path of overcoming hurdles. While it has left certain hurdles behind, some still lies ahead.

                                                    Regulatory improvements: Indian government’s urge to improve the regulatory and taxation
                                                    regime for a globally competitive environment.

                                                    • Rolling out of much anticipated and debated Goods and Service Tax (GST) in India.
                                                    • ‘Single Window’ along with easy and simple clearance procedures

Manufacturing Thrust: Current thrust in manufacturing to strengthen and re-configure Indian
logistics sector all the more to live up to global standards.
• ‘Make in India’ initiative to strengthen the manufacturing base in India
• Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) - infrastructure driven industrial investment corridor.
• Country specific investment regions and industrial parks on Public Private Partnership (PPP)
  model - (Eg. Japan to invest USD 35 billion - Nimrana, Bechraji, Supa; China to invest USD 20 Billion
  in next 5 years; UK - Belgaum)

                                                    Connectivity Push: Large scale investments in infrastructure sector is deemed to improve
                                                    connectivity to nook and corner of the country.
                                                    • Road: Develop a total of 66,117 km of roads i.e. building 30 km of road a day from 2016.
                                                    • Rail: Heavy duty, high speed, extra-wide, doubly stacked Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC) in west
                                                      and east India
                                                    • Seaports: Target capacity of over 3,130 MT by 2020 with over 50% anticipated to be generated at
                                                      privatized non-major ports.
                                                    • Airports: Plans to develop 200 low-cost airports in Tier II and Tier III towns.

With the economy transforming itself, mega infrastructural projects, modifications in regulatory regime, the Indian Logistics sector is definitely
taking giant leaps ahead in its endeavour to become future-ready and globally competitive.
