Mumbai’s office space absorption rose by 63 per cent year-on-year in Q1 2025, reaching approximately 2.9 million sq ft, driven primarily by the BFSI sector, which accounted for 53 per cent of leasing, according to CBRE South Asia. Nationally, office leasing hit 18 million sq ft, led by Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai. Global Capability Centres (GCCs) contributed 45 per cent to the total, with Bengaluru dominating. Notably, 81 per cent of leasing activity was in green-certified buildings, underlining a growing ESG focus. With demand from technology, BFSI, and life sciences, India’s office market is expected to maintain momentum, supported by a skilled workforce and strong policy support.
