Amazon’s Major Logistics Expansion in Kolkata
Amazon is significantly expanding its logistics footprint in India with a new, state-of-the-art warehousing facility in Kolkata. The e-commerce giant has finalized a long-term lease for a 600,000 square foot “built-to-suit” (BTS) property at Oswal Logistics Park. The immense facility will include a 400,000 sq ft main area and an additional 200,000 sq ft mezzanine, with completion and handover scheduled for 2027-2028.
This agreement, which will see Amazon pay a reported ₹32 per sq ft per month, is considered one of the more high-value rental deals in Kolkata’s industrial real estate market. The new warehouse is designed to be highly automated and will feature advanced fulfillment technology, consistent with Amazon’s global operational standards.
This strategic move underscores Amazon’s commitment to enhancing its delivery network and keeping pace with the surging e-commerce demand across India’s major cities. The Kolkata facility is part of a broader expansion strategy. Earlier this year, Amazon also secured over 800,000 sq ft of new warehousing space in the Delhi-NCR region, bringing its total new logistics space in India for 2025 to more than 1.4 million sq ft.
According to industry experts, this substantial leasing activity is a clear indicator of the robust growth in India’s organized warehousing sector, which is being fueled by the rapid expansion of online retail and the critical need for efficient and modern distribution channels.
