The rental growth across prominent main streets in Q2 2024 further underscores their growing appeal. Cities like Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai have all experienced significant year-on-year rental increases, demonstrating strong demand and potential for high-street retail in the country.
In terms of supply, while the first half of 2024 saw no new mall supply enter the market, the second half is anticipated to witness a surge in retail space, with an addition of approximately 4.5 million square foot (msf) of primarily Grade-A malls. Mumbai is anticipated to lead the supply with 1.2 msf, followed by Chennai at 1.2 msf, Delhi-NCR at 1.2 msf, and Bangalore at 0.9 msf.
The tightness in the superior-grade retail real estate space can also be seen in the retail portfolio of NEXUS Select REIT, where occupancies have reached around 98%. The REIT's stock prices have climbed nearly 30% since its IPO in May 2023, and looking at the under-penetration, it has announced a near doubling of portfolio size over the next 5 years.
Saurabh Shatdal, head retail and managing director, Capital Markets, Cushman & Wakefield, commented, 'The second quarter of 2024 was marked by a strong demand for both Grade A malls and high street retail. The growth in both formats underscores the vibrancy of India's retail landscape.'
The report also highlights the performance of various cities, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. Each city has its own unique retail landscape, with main streets and malls experiencing varying levels of demand and supply.
Overall, the report suggests that main streets will continue to dominate India's retail leasing landscape, driven by strong demand and limited supply of high-quality retail spaces.
