Automaker Eicher Motors has signed a lease agreement for an industrial space of approximately 400,000 square feet in the Casagrand industrial park in Chennai. The total rent for this seven-year contract will amount to approximately 74 crore rupees.

A report by Cushman & Wakefield shows that gross leasing in this segment increased by 18 percent year-over-year (Y-o-Y), reaching 36.2 million square feet (msf). This growth occurred amid accelerating demand driven by manufacturing, despite ongoing global trade and geopolitical uncertainty.
Among property types, warehousing accounted for the largest share of demand, totaling 24.3 msf or 67 percent of the total leased area. Industrial leasing became a key driver of growth, increasing by 36 percent year-over-year to nearly 12 msf.
Activity in the automotive sector almost doubled compared to the previous year, reaching 4.8 msf, which accounts for 13 percent of the total demand. The Cushman & Wakefield report notes that 'nearly two-thirds of the leasing in the sector was designated for industrial properties, reflecting investments in the electric vehicle supply chain and expansion of manufacturing operations.'
At the city level, Delhi-NCR remains the largest market for logistics and industry, but Chennai ranked second in terms of demand. Chennai contributed 17 percent of the total demand for Grade-A office space in India's Tier-1 cities, registering 6.1 msf of activity in the first half of 2026.
