The report acknowledges potential impediments to project completion, including rising land acquisition costs, complex land ownership structures, and ongoing legal proceedings.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">To mitigate these obstacles, developers are strategically exploring new locations, particularly in peripheral areas and along key infrastructure corridors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Investment trends underscore the sector's potential, with a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent recorded between 2019 and 2024.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Foreign investors have been the primary contributors, accounting for approximately 68 percent of total investment during this period.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Looking ahead to 2025, investor sentiment remains optimistic, albeit with a more measured approach to deal execution and due diligence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">With strong demand from e-commerce, growing investor confidence, and an increasing supply of modern warehousing facilities, India's industrial and logistics sector appears well-positioned to maintain its upward trajectory in the coming year.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 41566 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/indias-industrial-and-logistics-sector-set-for-robust-growth-in-2025-cbre 2025-03-28 14:52:43 knnindia.co.in
