Hyderabad Office Rents Surge 24% as MMR Leads with 28% Growth

Hyderabad has emerged as one of the fastest-growing commercial office rental markets in India, with rents increasing by 24.1 per cent from 2022 to 2025. Rental values in the city rose from Rs 59 per square foot per month in 2022 to Rs 72 in 2025.
Leading the nationwide surge in rental rates, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) witnessed the highest jump, with rental values climbing 28 per cent over the same period. Rentals in MMR increased from Rs 131 in 2022 to Rs 168 in 2025. High-demand micro-markets such as Bandra-Kurla Complex, Lower Parel, and Andheri East remain preferred locations for sectors like finance, IT/ITeS, and startups.
Delhi NCR followed with a robust 20 per cent increase, as rents rose from Rs 92 to Rs 110 per square foot, driven by growing demand in Gurugram and Noida supported by new infrastructure projects. Bangalore recorded a 15.8 per cent rise in rental rates, anchored by sustained interest in Whitefield, Outer Ring Road, and Electronic City from global occupiers. Pune and Chennai experienced more moderate rental growth of 11.1 per cent and 9.1 per cent, respectively, reflecting steady expansion in their IT/ITES and industrial segments.
Despite ongoing global economic challenges, India's commercial real estate market has demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from the pandemic-induced slowdown. Increasing demand for premium office space is evident as companies transition from hybrid work models back to structured in-office environments. This shift is particularly evident among Global Capability Centres (GCCs), technology giants, and BFSI sector players.
Peush Jain, Managing Director of Commercial Leasing and Advisory at ANAROCK Group, noted that in the first quarter of 2025, GCCs leased an impressive 8.35 million square feet of office space, with Delhi NCR alone accounting for nearly 23 per cent of this demand. Over the last two years, GCCs have contributed more than 37 per cent of office leasing across India's top seven cities, highlighting a sustained commitment to expanding operations in metropolitan hubs.
Investor confidence is strengthening as rental yields improve, especially in Hyderabad and Delhi NCR, where capital values remain competitive. The return of office space absorption to pre-pandemic levels, alongside growing traction in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), signals optimism in the commercial property sector despite global uncertainties.
According to Jain, India's commercial real estate landscape is evolving with the hybrid work model maturing into a strategic combination of physical office spaces and flexible arrangements. This has maintained a strong leasing pipeline, particularly in technology parks, co-working hubs, and special economic zones.
As demand continues to surpass supply in prime micro-markets, India's growing role as a global outsourcing hub will likely keep driving rental values upward. The commercial property market remains a key area of focus for businesses seeking strategic locations and investors aiming for long-term growth.

Cheated investor of 3.66 cr, scamster's Dubai run ends in extradition

Surat: A Surat-based property broker, Upvan Jain alias Bunty Jain, who fled to Dubai after allegedly cheating a 62-year-old private sector employee of Rs 3.66 crore in a property scam, was deported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities following an extradition request by the Indian govt. Jain was taken into custody by the Surat Police Economic Offences Cell at Ahmedabad airport on Saturday and was produced in court the following day. He was remanded to three days of police custody. The case against Jain and his eight accomplices was registered at Adajan police station and later transferred to the Economic Offences (Eco) Cell for further investigation. According to the police, Jain operated as a broker in Surat and allegedly duped Gyanchand Jain between 2019 and 2020 by promising high returns on real estate investments. He sold him four properties — an office in VIP Plaza and flats in River Palace, The Legend and Castle Brown residential complexes — and collected Rs 3.66 crore in the process. Investigations revealed that Jain and his associates created forged sale deeds, used stolen govt stamp papers and opened fake bank accounts to receive and divert the funds. These accounts were registered with Sutex Co-operative Bank, IndusInd Bank and Surat People's Co-operative Bank. The money was subsequently routed through multiple accounts to avoid detection. On learning about the fraud, Gyanchand filed a police complaint against nine people: Upvan Jain, Ashwin Langadiya, Arif Pathan, Naresh Vadhel, Rasik Ambaliya, Bansi Kalsariya, Sangita Kalsariya, Chetan Magroliya, and Vijay Langadiya. While the Eco Cell has already arrested the other eight accused, Jain had fled India. After the complaint was lodged, Upvan initially took shelter in his hometown Udaipur, Rajasthan, before flying to Dubai. A Lookout Circular (LOC) was issued against him, but with no return in sight, the Indian govt pursued extradition under its bilateral treaty with the UAE. Based on India's formal request, Interpol detained Jain in Dubai. He was deported to India after the legal process was completed and handed over to Surat police at Ahmedabad airport.
