India’s commercial office real estate sector has witnessed a remarkable boom in the first half of 2025, with net leasing soaring by 40% year-on-year to 26.8 million square feet across the top seven cities. Bengaluru led the way with 6.55 million square feet of absorption, but Pune stole the spotlight as the fastest-growing market, recording a staggering 188% growth. This surge highlights the strong demand for modern office spaces as businesses continue to expand and global capability centers strengthen their presence in India.

Industry experts note that the market is showing healthy fundamentals, with new office supply rising 25% to 24.51 million square feet, helping maintain balance between demand and supply. Vacancy rates dipped slightly to 16.3%, while average rentals climbed 4% to ₹88 per square foot per month. The IT-ITES sector continued to dominate, accounting for 29% of the leasing activity, closely followed by co-working spaces at 22%. With sustained corporate confidence and ongoing expansion, the sector looks well-positioned to carry forward this momentum through the rest of 2025.
