BIG LOANS arranges ₹100 crore-and-above debt for Indian logistics — across BTS (built-to-suit) warehousing with long-term leases to 3PL/e-commerce tenants, 3PL operators with working capital needs aligned to extended customer payment cycles, port-linked logistics (freight forwarding, EXIM, CFS/ICD), and cold chain infrastructure. Most common products: LRD on BTS warehouses (often 10+10 year leases, attractive pricing); construction finance for greenfield warehousing parks; and working capital for 3PL operators.
Indian logistics splits into two debt-structuring patterns: asset-heavy infrastructure (warehouses, cold chain, ICD/CFS, terminals) which is financed like real estate (construction finance, LRD post-COD); and asset-light operations (3PL, freight forwarding, last-mile delivery) which is financed like a service business with working-capital-heavy structures.
BTS (built-to-suit) warehousing has emerged as one of the strongest LRD opportunities — typically 10+10 year leases to anchor tenants (Amazon, Flipkart, DHL, Blue Dart, large 3PL operators like Mahindra Logistics), with stable rental escalation. Pricing is typically tighter than office LRD by 25-50 bps due to longer base lease and stronger tenant covenant.
