Compare your numbers against Indian industry standards
Standard pallet (1,200mm × 1,000mm) with selective racking requires 1.5–2 sqft of floor area accounting for aisles, pillars, and loading bays. A 300-pallet warehouse needs approximately 5,000–7,000 sqft total. Add 20–25% for staging areas, offices, and utilities. Grade-A warehouses allow 30–40% higher density with narrow aisle equipment.
Selective racking: access to every pallet, 30–35% space efficiency, most versatile. Drive-in racking: 80–90% space efficiency, LIFO system, ideal for single-SKU bulk storage. Narrow aisle (VNA): 40–45% efficiency improvement but requires specialised reach trucks. Push-back racking: good for 2–5 deep storage per lane. Choose based on SKU count and turnover frequency.
Racking cost per pallet position: basic selective rack ₹800–1,500, medium-duty ₹1,500–2,500, heavy-duty ₹3,000–5,000. Installation adds 15–20%. Mezzanine flooring for two-level storage: ₹800–1,500 per sqft. Fire sprinkler system (mandatory for large warehouses): ₹80–150 per sqft. Total warehouse setup: ₹800–2,000 per sqft all-inclusive.
Grade-A warehouse specifications: clear height 9–12 metres, floor load bearing 5–7 tonnes per sqm, level floor (FM2 specification), dock levellers with dock seals, 24/7 security with CCTV, fire suppression, LED lighting at 200+ lux, and building automation. Grade-A warehouses command 20–30% rental premium over basic industrial sheds.
Warehouse rental rates in India (2026): Chennai ₹18–30/sqft/month, Bengaluru ₹22–35/sqft/month, Mumbai (Bhiwandi) ₹20–32/sqft/month, Delhi-NCR (Kundli-Manesar) ₹18–28/sqft/month. Grade-A facilities 25–35% premium over Grade-B. Rental typically increases 5–8% annually. Consider total logistics cost (rent + labour + equipment) not just rent.
This tool saved me hours of manual calculation. The results were accurate and matched my own estimates closely. Subscribed to the yearly plan immediately.
Scalioz tools are genuinely built for Indian businesses. The logic is India-specific, the pricing is fair, and the support team responds fast. Highly recommended.
Very useful for quick estimates and decision-making. Would love deeper integration with accounting software in a future version. Overall great value.
