MRF Leases 3.85 lakh sq. ft Warehousing Space in Pune’s Mawal Area

MRF Leases Warehouse

Indian multinational tyre manufacturing company MRF has secured the lease of 3.85 lakh sq ft of large warehousing space in village Sudvadi, Mawal area of Pune district. The Chennai-headquartered company has signed the lease deal with NDR Tradehouse for an initial monthly rental of approximately Rs 1.05 crore. It also has an escalation clause that will increase the annual rental by 4.5% every year. This suggests that there is a strong demand for warehouse spaces in India’s expanding logistics industry.

As per documents procured from CRE Matrix, this agreement was registered on 18 July for an initial five-year tenure with a provision for its extension of another five years. A lock-in period of three years ensures a minimum commitment from both parties. Additionally, MRF will pay common area maintenance charges of Rs 3.85 lakh per month and has made an upfront security deposit of Rs 3.14 crore, equivalent to three months’ rental payments. This provides financial security to NDR Tradehouse.

One of the unique features of this lease agreement is the provision for MRF to expand its warehousing space by an additional 2 lakh sq ft within three years. If NDR Tradehouse fails to provide this additional space when required by MRF, the lock-in clause will not be binding. 

In recent years, India has experienced a notable surge in the leasing of warehouse facilities. This is mostly due to the swift rise of e-commerce, the imposition of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and the growing need for effective supply chain management. There has been an increase in warehouse leasing activity in major cities and developing industrial clusters as businesses look to improve distribution networks and optimize logistics.
