India E-Commerce Warehousing Market Trends: 

Expansion of Quick Commerce and the Rising Proliferation of Dark Stores

The rapid growth of quick commerce, which is delivering goods within minutes, has revolutionized consumer expectations in India. To meet this demand, companies are increasingly investing in strategically located micro-warehouses, known as dark stores, which cater exclusively to online orders. For instance, in 2024, Swiggy expanded its quick commerce segment by opening larger warehouses, averaging 4,000 square feet, i.e., 42% larger than the previous year. This expansion aims to enhance inventory capacity and reduce delivery times. The quick commerce division now accounts for 40% of Swiggy's food delivery business, which is projected to boost the demand for warehousing. Besides this, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance shifted its retail strategy to capitalize on India's rapidly growing quick commerce business, which is a part of the e-commerce sector. By utilizing its network of 3,000 supermarkets across 1,150 cities, the company plans to set up dedicated in-store kiosks for quick commerce operations. This trend underscores a shift towards localized e-commerce warehousing solutions, enabling faster deliveries and reshaping the traditional supply chain to prioritize immediacy.

Integration with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC)

Supportive initiatives by the Government of India to democratize digital commerce through the ONDC are transforming the e-commerce warehousing sector. ONDC aims to create an open, interoperable network, allowing sellers and logistics providers to connect seamlessly, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs. Leading logistics providers, like Ekart, Dunzo, and Delhivery, have integrated with ONDC, expanding their reach and streamlining operations. For example, Dunzo partnered with ONDC as a Logistics Network Partner (LNP) to facilitate last-mile delivery for business-to-business transactions. By May 2023, ONDC had expanded to over 236 cities across India, featuring around 36,000 sellers and more than 45 network participants. This widespread adoption indicates a significant shift towards standardized digital commerce practices, impacting warehousing strategies nationwide.  Furthermore, the integration with ONDC facilitates better inventory management, real-time tracking, and optimized warehouse utilization, which is contributing to the growth and modernization of e-commerce warehousing in India.
