Brigade explores industrial push amid tech-driven real estate demand
Pradyumna Krishnakumar, Executive Director of Brigade
Real estate major Brigade – known for its residential and commercial projects – told businessline that the company is exploring options to expand into industrial and logistics infrastructure and is evaluating sites close to city limits. Pradyumna Krishnakumar, Executive Director of Brigade said that the company has acquired a 75-acre property last year to develop a mixed-use project with a strong focus on industrial and logistics infrastructure. This shift aligns with the growing interest in government-backed industrial clusters and rising demand from tech-driven supply chains.
The demand for integrated logistics and industrial parks has surged due to India’s manufacturing push, the rise of e-commerce, and government incentives for industrial corridors.
The company is targeting 16 million sq. ft. of launches in FY26, with 12 million sq. ft. coming from residential projects. It is also prioritising connectivity, with both commercial and residential projects strategically planned near metro corridors.
Commercial portfolio
While its commercial portfolio continues to grow, particularly with the recent 11-acre ITPL acquisition for a ₹2,000 crore development, Brigade’s long-term focus will remain on tech-driven micro-markets across Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. “We are concentrating on markets where technology, BFSI, and pharma sectors are driving demand. Metro connectivity has become a critical factor for both residential and commercial buyers, and we are aligning new projects with metro corridors,” said Pradyumna.
Going ahead, the company plans to focus on geographies and micro-markets driven largely by technology, which it sees as its strongest demand driver. “We are seeing even in markets like Chennai, a large part of our customer base comes from the tech sector. BFSI is significant in Chennai, while Hyderabad has a strong pharma-driven demand,” he added.
