Real estate developers are investing in the construction of malls, thereby adding 65 mn sq ft of new mall supply  by 2022, as per a report by Anarock. The Indian retail industry has moved from long-term leasing to short-term leasing tenures  to enable updating of the brand mix within the mall. Nearly two-thirds of the new supply (40 mn sq ft) is expected to hit the market by 2020. Of this total new supply, the top seven cities constitute a 72 per cent share and the remaining 28 per cent (18.2 mn sq ft) will come up in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. MMR, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad and Bengaluru together lead with new supply aggregating to nearly 34 mn sq ft in these cities.
