Warehouse Rent in Ahmedabad: What Each Belt Costs and Who Is Leasing

Grade A warehouse rent around Ahmedabad runs from roughly ₹15 to ₹27 per sq ft per month, depending on the belt. Industry research for H1 2026 puts the city average at ₹19.4 per sq ft per month, up 6% from ₹18.3 in H1 2025. Sanand sits at the top of the range, Kheda and Vithalapur Becharaji at the bottom, and Aslali and Changodar in between.

What is the warehouse rental cost in Ahmedabad by belt?

Two published series cover Ahmedabad warehouse rents, and they draw their belts differently. One uses four clusters for calendar 2025; the other quotes individual submarkets for the first half of 2026. Read them side by side, not as one series, because the two bands do not cover the same buildings.

Each cluster takes in several villages. Aslali Kheda covers Aslali, Jetalpur, Bareja, Kanera, Gobhalaj, Hariyala and Kheda. Changodar Bagodara covers Changodar, Bavla, Bhayla and Bagodara. Sanand Viramgam covers Sanand, Sachna and Viramgam.

A band is a spread, not a price. We would expect the top of each one to go to newer, taller buildings with proper docks and a valid fire NOC, and an older shed with fewer docks in the same village to rent below it. If a landlord quotes the top of the band, ask which specification justifies it.

What does a warehouse really cost you each month?

Rent is the start. Renting commercial property attracts GST at 18% under heading 9972 of the GST Council’s services rate schedule, so every ₹1 L of rent costs ₹1.18 L on the invoice, and a registered tenant can usually claim the GST back as input credit.

Maintenance, power, security and the common area charge are separate and vary by park, so ask for them in writing with the rent. Tax deducted at source on the rent, the security deposit and the stamp duty on the lease are covered in our warehouse lease checklist, which works through a full 50,000 sq ft example.

Which belt has the most leasing demand?

The south. Market reports counted 6.4 mn sq ft of warehousing and industrial leasing in Ahmedabad in 2025, up 11% on 2024. Aslali Kheda took 43% of warehousing transactions and Changodar Bagodara 41%, which leaves the Sanand and Chhatral clusters to share the rest.

In the first half of 2026 Kheda alone took the largest share. Published figures for that half year recorded 1.8 mn sq ft of warehouse leasing, up 54% year on year, with Kheda taking 45%, Changodar 20% and Sanand 17%. Consumer durables occupiers took 33% of that leasing, followed by ecommerce at 22% and 3PL at 18%.

Supply matters as much as demand. One published vacancy series rose from 7% in H2 2025 to 15% in H1 2026, with 3.8 mn sq ft of new supply expected over the following 12 months. Another puts H1 2026 vacancy at 12.6% on 47.9 mn sq ft of stock. The two measure differently, but both say there is space on the market.

For a tenant with a firm requirement today, that means room to negotiate rent free fit out time, escalation and lock in. We would not sign at the top of a band without pricing two or three alternatives first.

Aslali, Jetalpur and Kanera: is the old southern belt still worth it?

For most city distribution, yes. Aslali Kheda is one of Ahmedabad’s oldest warehousing clusters, along the Mumbai Ahmedabad Highway. From Aslali, trucks reach the SP Ring Road and the eastern half of the city without crossing the centre, which helps if you deliver to Ahmedabad retailers every day.

The cost is land. Published 2026 land rates put Aslali warehousing land at ₹4.8 Cr to ₹6 Cr per acre. Land at that price is why new Grade A buildings cost more to put up here than further out. See current options on our warehouses for rent in Aslali page, which also leads to Jetalpur and Kanera.

Kheda, Vasai and Hariyala: why are the big boxes going south?

Floor plate and land price. Kheda’s warehousing land is quoted at ₹1.6 Cr to ₹2 Cr per acre, about a third of Aslali’s. That is what makes large buildings workable at rents of ₹16 to ₹18. Published deals for the first half of 2026 include Swiggy taking 1,90,000 sq ft, Ceva Logistics 1,33,000 sq ft and Amazon 1,00,000 sq ft in Kheda in the first half of 2026.

We advised on the lease of a 4,48,000 sq ft warehouse in Kheda for an FMCG brand. For requirements of that size, land at a third of Aslali’s price is the draw.

The trade off is distance from Ahmedabad’s consumers. Kheda works best as a regional hub feeding Vadodara, central Gujarat and the Mumbai side, with smaller city depots doing the last mile. Our Kheda warehouse listings show what is free now, including the Vasai, Vadala and Hariyala pockets nearby.

Changodar, Bavla and Bhayla: who should pick the Rajkot side?

Anyone shipping towards Rajkot. The Changodar Bagodara belt runs along the Rajkot Ahmedabad Highway, with demand led by pharmaceuticals and allied manufacturing. The belt’s share of Ahmedabad warehousing transactions rose from 35% in 2024 to 41% in 2025, and Grade A buildings made up 71% of its leasing.

Published warehouse rent for Changodar Bavla is ₹20 to ₹22, flat on the year. On the industrial side, Bavla led H1 2026 factory leasing with a 46% share. Moraiya, Sanathal and Rajoda sit on the same corridor and are worth checking when Changodar itself is tight.

If your inbound is from Saurashtra or Kutch ports, or your outbound goes towards Rajkot, this belt saves a crossing of the city every trip. Browse warehouses for rent in Changodar and the larger sheds on our Bavla warehouse page.

Is Sanand worth the higher rent?

Only if your customers or your plant are already there. Sanand carries the highest published warehousing rent around Ahmedabad, ₹23 to ₹26, and industrial rent of ₹24 to ₹28.

The reason is manufacturing. The Sanand Viramgam cluster serves the auto makers and their suppliers, and high tech and semiconductor manufacturers led the city’s H1 2026 industrial leasing. Voltas Beko’s 3,00,000 sq ft warehouse in Sanand was the largest published deal of that half year.

For a supplier that must deliver to a line several times a day, the premium is cheap. For a general distributor serving Ahmedabad’s retail, it is money spent on the wrong address. Our Sanand locality page lists what is available.

How much warehouse space do you need?

Work backwards from stock, not from a round number. Take your peak inventory in pallets or cartons, divide by the number of levels your racking can reach at the building’s clear height, then add aisles, the dock apron, a staging zone and office space. A taller building can hold the same stock in less area, so a cheaper rent on a lower shed is not always cheaper per pallet.

Two checks we always add. First, size the building for your busiest month of the year, not your average month. Second, ask whether the park can give you adjacent space later, which is easier than moving in three years.

Send us your peak stock, the clear height you need, the number of docks and the belt you prefer, and our industrial and warehouse team will shortlist buildings that match before you spend a day driving between them.
