Indian office mkt set for record leasing in 2024

New Delhi : India is set to witness a record office space leasing activity in 2024, reaching 83-85 million square feet of gross leasing value (GLV), which is a 13 per cent growth from last year, as per a report on Monday. 

India's office real estate has consistently been witnessing more than 70 million square feet of GLV since 2022 across the top eight cities.

The current year 2024 is likely to register a historic high volume, driven by healthy volumes seen in the IT-BPM, BFSI, engineering and manufacturing (E&M) and flex operator spaces, said the report by Cushman & Wakefield. India's rising attractiveness as a destination for global capability centres (GCCs) has had a big influence on demand, as GCCs now account for 30 per cent of GLV, with the share projected to rise further.
