A fragmented warehouse footprint results in increased average inventory holding, which leads to severe examples of storage and handling loss caused by low levels of mechanisation. Almost 60% of India's technologically advanced warehouses are situated in five major cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, NVR, and Pune. Apart from these six, the two other important cities having significant warehouse capacity are Hyderabad and Kolkata.
