The recent joint report of CBRE and Zyoin highlighted how GCCs have significantly amplified their Indian operations over the recent decades, fueled by a skilled workforce, cost efficiency, and a conducive business climate. These growth factors have resulted in leading global companies to lease nearly 53 million square feet of office space since 2022 across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai to set up GCCs.

CBRE’s 2024 India Office Occupier survey also revealed that approximately 67% of GCCs intend to increase their office portfolios by at least 10% within the next two years. Thus, this upsurge in demand for office spaces from GCCs underscores a continued growth trajectory for the commercial real estate sector, encouraging developers to plan and curate more office spaces to meet future demands.

Mr. Nisheeth Thukral, Head of Leasing, Ambience Group said, “Global companies leasing office space in India to set up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) will turn out to be the prime drivers for the country’s commercial real estate. Even though Bangalore is at the top, NCR has also witnessed increased traction. There is a widespread demand, particularly for Grade A office spaces. As a key player in this thriving market, Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) offers immense potential, with companies like Ambience Group planning luxury mixed-use commercial developments near the Noida Expressway to capitalise on these opportunities.”

Mr. Sanchit Bhutani, Managing Director, Group 108, said, “The report showcases a positive viewpoint for Delhi-NCR’s commercial space market in India. Notably, the area around the Noida Expressway indicates a higher potential, fueled by the demand for office spaces and retail outlets. Further, significant infrastructure developments like the Noida International Airport have strengthened commercial realty growth. As global businesses expand their presence in the region, the trend encourages developers to create more specialized and premium office spaces, catering to the unique needs of various industries and enhancing the overall vibrancy of India’s commercial real estate landscape.”

Moreover, the availability and cost of quality real estate emerge as one of the prime growth factors for GCCs in India. The report also indicated that the leasing for GCCs accounted for 37% of the total leasing during H1 of 2024.

Harinder Singh Hora, Founder Chairman, Reach Group, said, “The report indicates an optimistic outlook for the Delhi-NCR office space market, particularly for Gurugram. As the region is introduced to noteworthy infrastructure growth, it forecasts an upsurge in rental values and leasing activity by GCCs, leading to growth in Grade A retail and office spaces. This momentum reaffirms our vision to deliver cutting-edge commercial spaces and reshape the real estate landscape.”

Salil Kumar, Director- Marketing and Business Management, CRC Group, said, “The surge in leasing by GCCs signals a strong demand for Grade A Office spaces. This heightened demand will not only drive the rental prices in prime locations in Delhi-NCR but also catalyze new developments, further strengthening the commercial real estate sector. As global companies secure large office spaces for their GCCs in India, we look forward to sustained demand for commercial spaces, encouraging developers to develop and deliver future-ready office spaces.”

Thus, as the market continues to evolve, the commercial spaces in India are set to experience sustained growth, reinforcing the country’s status as a strategic destination for global companies. This dynamic environment encourages developers to create specialized and premium office spaces, enhancing the vibrancy and competitiveness of India’s commercial real estate market.

The region’s exceptional connectivity, highlighted by the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, has transformed it into a hub for high-value investments, making it an attractive choice for homebuyers and investors alike.

South of Gurugram has emerged as a prominent suburb for residential investments, thanks to its exceptional connectivity with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the Centre’s flagship and most expensive infrastructural project. Sohna Road, located in South of Gurugram, has garnered significant attention from developers, transforming the region into a hub for high-value investments.

Mr. Ravi Aggarwal, Co-founder & Managing Director, Signature Global (India) Ltd. says that “South of Gurugram is rapidly transforming into one of the thriving suburbs in the National Capital Region, capitalizing on its proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and commercial hubs like Cyber City and Golf Course Road. The seamless connectivity to the Gurugram-Sohna elevated road makes it an attractive location for professionals, offering a quick 15-minute drive to major commercial, retail, and entertainment hotspots in Gurugram. Homebuyers are increasingly drawn to areas like South of Gurugram for their closeness to nature and the health and wellness benefits it offers.

Access to green spaces is associated with greater social cohesion and a sense of community, enhancing overall well-being. In response to this rising demand for sustainable and health-oriented living, developers and urban planners are focusing on creating micro markets and suburbs that emphasize natural features and healthy lifestyles. This trend is set to continue as more people prioritize their physical and mental health in their daily lives.”

The proximity to the Sohna-Dausa stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has been a major catalyst for the surge in real estate investments in Sohna Road, especially in the residential sector. This expressway has elevated Sohna Road’s status, making it a capital-rich investment zone with promising returns.

The remarkable 137.3% growth in South Gurugram’s real estate over the past five years underscores its emergence as a prime investment destination.

Additionally, the controlled six-lane elevated Gurugram-Sohna corridor (NH-248A) provides seamless access to major commercial, retail, and entertainment hotspots in Gurugram, just a 15-minute drive away.

Shailesh kumar Gupta, city based real estate consultant says, “Sohna popularly known as South of Gurugram has become an investment magnet within Gurugram’s thriving real estate landscape. Key corridors such as the Dwarka Expressway, Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), and 160-km Sohna-Dausa stretch of the DMIC (Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor) are at the forefront of this transformation. The Sohna-Dausa stretch, in particular, has been hailed as a game-changer for South of Gurugram’s realty ecosystem, significantly enhancing interstate connectivity with states like Delhi-NCR, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. The prospects of this stretch emerging as a prime residential and commercial corridor are high, simultaneously boosting real estate developments in the surrounding areas of Gurugram.

South of Gurugram’s commercial real estate properties offer diverse opportunities for businesses, including office spaces, retail outlets, industrial parks, and logistics centers. As per industry data and estimation investing in commercial property in South of Gurugram can yield immediate benefits and long-term gains both, driven by consistent infrastructural development. The region’s flourishing business ecosystem and robust economic growth further cement South of Gurugram’s status as a desirable hub for commercial real estate investments.”

The area is increasingly attracting upper-middle-class and upper-class income groups who are recalibrating their home-buying choices towards green homes and eco-friendly areas. The notified Master Plan 2031 for Sohna emphasizes the development of ample open spaces and green belts, making it a desirable location for homebuyers.
