Hyderabad Tops India's GCC Office Rental Index with Highest Premiums in Q1 2026
Hyderabad has emerged as India's leading city in the Global Capability Centres-Commercial Property Rental Index (GCC-CPRI) for Q1 2026, with an index value of 212.1, reflecting strong demand and rental growth in its office market. The city commands a 15% rental premium for GCC occupiers over non-GCC tenants, driven by limited Grade A supply and major leases in areas like Hitec City, Gachibowli, and Madhapur. While Hyderabad leads in rental costs and growth, Pune and Bengaluru also show significant premiums and market activity.
