GCC Expansion and Limited Supply Support Growth in India’s Office Market
India's commercial real estate market is projected to remain robust in 2026, driven by the expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), limited new office supply, and growing demand for institutional-grade workspaces. The top seven cities saw net office absorption of 27.4 million sq ft in H1 2026, exceeding new completions and reducing vacancy rates to 15%. GCCs accounted for 45% of leasing, with Bengaluru leading demand. Rising rents and a shift toward Grade A, green-certified campuses were also noted, supported by multinational companies and flexible workspace growth.
