India's Bonded Warehousing Ecosystem Emerging as a Strategic Growth Driver
News: India’s custom bonded warehousing ecosystem is evolving into a strategic growth lever for global brands.
These secured, duty-free zones allow companies to store imported goods without immediate tax liabilities, enhancing cash flow, inventory management, and re-export flexibility. Sectors like wine, spirits, electronics, and manufacturing benefit significantly.
Driven by e-commerce growth, PLI schemes, and ‘Make in India’ initiatives, bonded warehouses help optimize logistics and reduce costs. In 2024, warehousing demand surged 12%, with investors showing keen interest, especially in metro areas. Government infrastructure efforts and customs modernization are further boosting the sector.
Key growth drivers include 3PL expansion, automation, and nearshoring. However, challenges remain in land acquisition, regulation, and skilled labor. Bonded warehousing is now vital for scaling in India.
