Warehouses for logistics and distribution in Kolkata

Godowns, distribution sheds and logistics parks with docking and clear height.

Logistics & warehousing space in Kolkata: what to check

For logistics, the building spec decides the deal. Clear height sets how many pallet levels you can rack; docking type and count set how fast trucks turn around; floor loading (tonnes per sqm) sets what you can stack. Location is judged on approach-road width, whether container or multi-axle trucks can reach the gate, and distance to the highway, ICD or consumption cluster. Warehouse rent is quoted per sqft per month, usually on built-up area, and terms run longer than office leases because tenants invest in racking and dock equipment. Confirm the land's permitted use — agricultural land cannot lawfully be used as a commercial godown without conversion.

  • Clear height, floor loading capacity and column grid
  • Dock levellers, dock count and truck turning radius at the gate
  • Land use conversion (NA / industrial) and approved building plan
  • Fire NOC appropriate to the goods stored, and sprinkler provision
  • Approach road width for multi-axle or container movement

Logistics & warehousing property FAQs

Racked distribution warehouses are usually specified with high eaves so multiple pallet levels fit; older godowns are much lower and limit you to floor stacking. Match the height to your racking plan before signing, because it caps storage density permanently.
