What are dark stores and how much do they cost in India?

A dark store is a brick-and-mortar retail distribution centre that exclusively caters to online shopping orders. Such stores are usually located in basements or defunct facilities in densely packed residential areas to meet quick delivery requirements. Delhi has the highest monthly rental of ₹150-200/sq ft for a dark store, followed by Mumbai (₹80-150/sq ft) and Bengaluru (₹60-100/sq ft).
