Hard truth: most so-called logistics sites fail at the access or approvals stage, not on paper. A good map does not equal a workable yard.
Most buyers get this wrong because they buy a pin on a highway and discover too late that the approach road or turning radius is inadequate for heavy vehicles.
Risks specific to logistics land
Approach road width, turning radius, and load-bearing soil decide viability. Power availability and lawful conversion are non-negotiable. Flood-prone low-lying parcels look cheap but become unusable during peak seasons.
Verification steps we insist on
We measure approach road width on site and verify the road classification in local records. We check the EC for any acquisition or mortgage issues. We confirm patta, adangal, and FMB consistency. We also validate power proximity and soil bearing with a basic geotech check before price finalization.
Safe vs unsafe (and why)
Safer: parcels with registered access, stable ground, and power availability within reasonable distance. Risky: sites where access relies on informal village roads or where conversion is assumed but not possible.
Questions NRIs ask privately
Q: Can a broker manage access issues later? A: Access must be legal before you buy. Q: Is warehouse zoning required? A: Industrial use typically requires conversion or location within approved industrial zones; this must be verified.
Quiet confidence
A logistics thesis only works when trucks can actually move and legal use is clear. We validate those realities first.
