GCCs accounted for 43% of total office leasing and 53% of large office transactions, with leasing volumes reaching record highs across major cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, NCR, Mumbai, and Pune. Demand focused on premium Grade A office spaces, supported by healthy new supply and a shift toward future-ready workspaces.
