Bengaluru Set to Reign Supreme in India's Commercial Real Estate Market
Real Estate News:India's IT capital, Bengaluru, is poised to continue its lead in India's commercial real estate market with an impressive 330-340 million square feet of office stock by 2030, according to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry and CBRE. As of June 2024, the city's office stock has more than doubled to over 223 million square feet, accounting for the highest share in the segment amongst all major cities in the country.

The report, titled 'Karnataka Horizon Navigating Real Estate Excellence in the South', highlights that Bengaluru has seen its office stock grow at an average annual absorption rate of about 15-16 million square feet over the past few years. The technology sector accounts for 30-35% of annual absorption in the city, primarily in commercial hubs like Outer Ring Road and Whitefield.

In the run-up to 2030, the technology, engineering and manufacturing, and BFSI categories are expected to be the main demand drivers for Bengaluru's office market, alongside emerging sectors like life sciences, aviation, and automobile. Bengaluru has led demand amongst global capability centres (GCCs) in India with a 41% share between 2022 - June, 2024, thanks to its skilled talent pool, premium Grade-A assets, and well-developed IT ecosystem.

However, the city's vibrant tech infrastructure must continue to evolve to retain its edge. Developing premium, sustainable tech spaces with cutting-edge facilities will be key. Long-term challenges for this market include ease of doing business, high land costs, and efficient space utilization.

In the retail segment, Bengaluru's real estate stock has more than doubled to over 16 million square feet as of June 2024, holding the second-highest share among the top Indian cities at 24%. This metric is further estimated to increase to 20-30 million square feet by 2030, representing a 1.4 times growth. Absorption in Bengaluru's retail market is primarily driven by entertainment, fashion and apparel, and homeware and department stores, each accounting for about 20-30% of the annual demand.

CBRE is a leading global real estate services company that provides comprehensive solutions to property owners, investors, and occupiers. Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is a non-governmental trade association that works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the growth of industry in India.
