Foreign Firms Drive Nearly Half of India's Office Leasing Through GCCs by 2026
Foreign firms are increasingly establishing Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India, leasing nearly 105 million sq ft of office space since 2022 across seven major cities, including Bengaluru and Mumbai. GCCs accounted for 46% of Grade A office leasing in early 2026, with projections indicating they may represent nearly half of India's office leasing by 2026. The number of GCCs is expected to exceed 4,000 by 2030, supporting a workforce of around 2.8 million and driving demand for scalable, high-quality office spaces.
