The company leased 1.9 million square feet across 22 deals, marking a 70% year-over-year (YoY) increase. This growth was driven by Global Capability Centres (GCCs), which contributed 70% of the quarter's leasing activity.

Embassy REIT's industry-leading ESG program has received multiple accolades from renowned global institutions and was awarded a 5-star rating both from the British Safety Council and GRESB. The company was included in the 2023 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, making it the first REIT in India to be recognized for its sustainability initiatives by a leading global benchmark.

In a statement, Aravind Maiya, Chief Executive Officer of Embassy REIT, said, 'We are delighted to report another excellent quarter of strong leasing across our portfolio. We are excited to strengthen our partnership with one of our largest occupiers through a new redevelopment project at Embassy Manyata, a testament to our best-in-class office solutions.
