Due to demography, ecommerce, and government assistance, Blackstone Group, a global private equity firm, is betting big on storage and logistics in India.

Welspun One Logistics Parks (WOLP), a finance, development, and asset management company, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Karnataka to strengthen its position in the southern India warehousing business and invest Rs 2,000 crore in the state.

Demand for industrial and storage space in Pune is likely to reach a new high in 2022, fueled by restored confidence in the Indian economy and a renewed emphasis on manufacturing, as well as the buoyancy of e-commerce and third-party logistics (3PL) businesses.
