India's Office Leasing Market Soars to New Heights in H1 2024
Real Estate News:The Indian office leasing market has reached unprecedented heights in the first half of 2024, with a gross leasing of 33.54 million square feet across seven major cities. This remarkable surge is driven by strong demand across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. According to JLL India, a leading real estate consultant, this marks a 29% annual growth in gross leasing, surpassing the previous highest H1 performance seen in 2019.

JLL India released data for the January-June period of this year, highlighting that the office demand has bounced back post-COVID. The gross leasing of office space stood at 26.01 million square feet in the January-June period of 2023. In contrast, the numbers had fallen to 21.10 million square feet in January-June 2020 and 12.55 million square feet in January-June 2021 due to the pandemic-induced slowdown.

However, the office demand has witnessed a significant recovery, with gross leasing standing at 24.68 million square feet in January-June 2022. This upward trend is expected to continue, with JLL India projecting a record-breaking gross leasing of 65-70 million sq. ft in 2024.
