Delhi-NCR Ranks 5th in Asia Pacific's Most Expensive Office Markets
Real Estate News:The Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index for Q2 2024, released by Knight Frank, has revealed that Delhi-NCR is the 5th most expensive office space rental market across the APAC region. With a prime office rent of INR 340/sqft/month, Delhi-NCR has sustained rental values consistently over the past six quarters.

According to the report, transaction activities across India's three major occupier markets saw a notable 50% increase in Q2 2024, maintaining the robust occupier sentiment that has fuelled leasing activities since 2023. The majority of transactions were driven by India-facing businesses reflecting a sustained strategic interest in India's consumer markets and its skilled labour pool.

Bengaluru retained its position as the leading destination among the three Indian cities, with 4.9 million square feet (mn sq ft) leased in Q2 2024. The leadership teams actively encouraging employees to return to office has also positively impacted the transaction volumes in the market.

Prime office rental rates in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru have remained stable in YoY terms and current market momentum points toward a stable rental in the rest of 2024 as well. In summary, the quarterly report revealed that 15 out of 23 tracked cities reported either stable or rising rental rates.
