The deal will enable setting up of warehousing facilities for a large e-commerce retailer and a multi-national sports goods retailer.

"The warehousing and logistics sector in the country continues to perform strongly. Riding on a maturity curve, the sector has been witnessing investments from developers and potential big occupier companies across sectors with a long-term view.
