India’s office market recorded 35.7 million sq ft of gross leasing across the top seven cities in H1 2026, marking a 6 per cent rise over the corresponding period in 2025, according to Colliers India. The market remained firm despite a slower second quarter, with Grade A space uptake moderating to 17.4 million sq ft in Q2 2026, a 2 per cent year-on-year decline.

Bengaluru remained the leading office market with 10.5 million sq ft of leasing in H1 2026, accounting for a 29 per cent share. Hyderabad followed with 7.2 million sq ft and recorded a 47 per cent annual increase in leasing activity. Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Chennai each saw leasing activity in the range of 4-5 million sq ft during the first half.

Quarterly moderation was more visible in Mumbai and Pune, where office demand declined by 25-30 per cent year-on-year in Q2 2026. The share of large deals also reduced in both markets, indicating a more cautious approach by occupiers during the quarter.

On the supply side, Grade A new completions stood at 22.5 million sq ft in H1 2026, down 9 per cent year-on-year. Bengaluru led new supply additions with 8.7 million sq ft, accounting for 39 per cent of total completions, followed by Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.

Flex space leasing reached 8.6 million sq ft in H1 2026, an all-time high and a 32 per cent annual rise. Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad together contributed nearly two-thirds of flex operator demand.
