Industrial Construction Trends in India’s West and South Zones: FY 2024-25 – A Zone-Wise Analysis – Part 3 of 4

Biltrax Media Sep 04, 2025 0

This comprehensive analysis by Biltrax Construction Data delves into industrial construction trends in the West and South Zone for FY 2024-25. Leveraging data from the BX-2 platform, the report highlights the manufacturing and warehousing segments of the sector. It explores significant trends and the leading players driving construction activities in these regions. 

Introduction

India’s industrial landscape reflects its vast geographical diversity, with each region playing a distinct role in the country’s economic growth. As part of our ‘Zonal Analysis, Series: 2’ (Part 3 of 4 – Industrial), this article focuses on these two pivotal zones – the West and South Zone. The West Zone strengthened its position as a leading industrial hub, fuelled by technology adoption, project expansions, and rising demand for modern warehousing. The South Zone, meanwhile, recorded strong momentum with investments across various industrial sub-segments. These included EVs, electronics, smart cities, data centers, steel, and power, underscoring its growing role in India’s industrial future.

This analysis examines the major developments and emerging trends in these regions during FY 2024–25 and highlights the growing contributions of both zones to India’s industrial growth story.

Overview

The West and South Zones both witnessed strong industrial growth in FY 2024–25, fueled by targeted policy interventions, increasing private sector participation, and stronger infrastructure connectivity. In the West Zone, Maharashtra and Gujarat spearheaded activity, with most project announcements. Their push in sectors like electric vehicles (EVs), semiconductors, specialty chemicals, and advanced engineering goods deepened the region’s industrial base. Maharashtra, for instance, benefitted from its Green Hydrogen Policy 2024, which attracted marquee investments in hydrogen-based mobility and chemicals, particularly in Pune and Aurangabad. Gujarat, on the other hand, gained momentum from its Semiconductor Policy 2024–29. This further led to major MoUs for chip fabrication plants in the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR).

Beyond these, Warehousing added another layer of growth to the West Zone, with cities like Mumbai, Pune, Surat, and Ahmedabad emerging as key hubs. The surging demand for Grade-A warehousing, cold storage, and integrated logistics parks reflected the region’s manufacturing expansion and its role in meeting the needs of retail and e-commerce.

Similarly, the South Zone mirrored this momentum with consistent industrial expansion. Private and public investments, sector-focused policies, and manufacturing-led growth in electronics, EVs, and port-linked infrastructure supported this. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu emerged as flagbearers, accounting for a significant share of activity across quarters. Karnataka drove large-scale projects in EVs, aerospace, electronics, and precision manufacturing. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu strengthened its auto and electronic components ecosystem and welcomed international players such as VinFast and Kaynes Technology. Telangana also advanced cluster-based development with MSME-centric industrial parks and gained traction in pan-India warehousing and logistics planning.
