Bengaluru Leads Office Rent Growth Amid Declining Leasing in Major Indian Cities
Office leasing across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR declined 13.6% year-on-year in Q3 2026, despite prime office rents rising by an average of 7.5%, with Bengaluru leading rental growth at 11.5%, matching Tokyo. Fresh office supply in Bengaluru and Hyderabad doubled in the first nine months of 2026, driven by strong demand from global capability centres and domestic firms. Mumbai saw a 33% increase in leasing transactions, while Bengaluru's leasing moderated after a strong start to the year. Rental growth reflects the premium on quality and location in these markets.
