During the second quarter of 2024, leasing activities in shopping malls rose to 6,12,396 square feet, a 15% increase from the previous year. High street locations also saw a 4% growth in leasing to 13,89,768 square feet. These figures indicate a significant shift in the retail landscape, with retailers increasingly focusing on main streets in prominent locations across India.
The eight cities that contributed to this growth include Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad. Saurabh Shatdal, Head Retail and Managing Director, Capital Markets, Cushman & Wakefield, attributed this growth to the vibrancy of India's retail landscape. He noted that the upcoming Grade A mall supply of 4.5 million square feet might stabilize rental costs in the short to medium term.
However, Shatdal also emphasized that main street activity is expected to remain healthy, driven by the dominance of domestic brands, which accounted for 53% of leasing volume. The strong performance of fashion and F&B retailers also highlights the evolving retail preferences in India.
