DHL Supply Chain India Private Limited has leased a 2.4 lakh sq ft commercial property in Hoskote, Bengaluru, at a total rent of ₹35 crore for five years, according to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix.
The property, leased from Saviraj Logistics, is in a commercial building located in Ekarajapura village, Hoskote Taluk, Bengaluru Rural district.
As per the registered lease details, DHL Supply Chain India will pay a monthly rent of ₹56.4 lakh for the 2.4 lakh sq ft chargeable area. This translates into a monthly rent of ₹23.50 per sq ft. The security deposit for the transaction stands at ₹2.25 crore.
The lease agreement was registered on July 10, 2026. The lease commenced on August 1, 2026, and the rent commencement date is November 1, 2026. The agreement provides for a rent-free period from August 1 to October 31, 2026. Therefore, the three-month rent-free period covers the initial phase of the lease.
The monthly rent also includes common area maintenance (CAM) charges, according to the lease terms. The agreement has a three-year lock-in period, meaning the lessee is contractually committed to the property for the first three years of the five-year lease, subject to the agreement's terms.
The lease also provides for a 4.5% annual escalation in rent.
Considering the three-month rent-free period and the subsequent five-year rent period from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2031, the total rent payable over the lease tenure is estimated at around ₹35 crore, assuming the annual escalation is applied after every 12 months of rent payment.
The transaction comes as logistics and warehousing demand remains an important component of Bengaluru's commercial real estate market. Hoskote, located on the eastern outskirts of Bengaluru, has emerged as a logistics and industrial hub, benefiting from its connectivity to major road corridors and its proximity to the city's wider consumption and manufacturing markets.
