India's Quick-Commerce Sector to Expand Urban Logistics Space by 2030
India's quick-commerce sector is poised for significant growth by 2030, with demand for 75 million sq ft of urban logistics space driven by expansion in dark stores and mother hubs across major metros and tier-II and tier-III cities. Currently, 65-70% of dark stores are in top metros, but operators are increasingly targeting cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Surat, Coimbatore, and Nagpur due to lower real estate costs. Franchise-led and shared infrastructure models are expected to support cost-efficient expansion and deeper market penetration.
