The top 6 cities of India reported around 10.3 MSF of office gross absorption in Q3 2021, the highest volume recorded since Q1 2020. IT-ITeS driven cities of Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Pune accounted for 62% of the gross absorption in Q3 2021.

Mr. Arpit Mehrotra who is Colliers managing director (south India) said that growth in Asia is driven by cities as much as countries. Bengaluru and Hyderabad should be Asia’s fastest and third fastest-growing cities, respectively, over 2022-24. While Bengaluru has always been the blue-eyed boy of CRE, Hyderabad has shown a tremendous amount of potential and has grown by leaps and bounds, especially in the last decade.

He also added,” A renewed and planned focus on the city’s infrastructure, availability of talent, relatively better costs, proactive state government, and favorable state policies have contributed to Hyderabad’s CRE growth story. The state aims at making multiple integrated projects across the city to keep improving its real estate momentum. In the past few years, technology giants like Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon have entered this market resulting in tremendous economic development.”

BFSI and flexible workplace sectors took the maximum share in leasing accounting for 66% of the total demand. In Hyderabad market.

The micro-market of Rai Durg saw the maximum leasing traction accounting for 53% of the total demand, while Hitec City contributed 40%.

Mr.  Mehrotra said that “Despite the ongoing pandemic, Hyderabad has shown its resilience and is poised for a growth recovery in the near future. Although vacancy levels showcased an upward trend last quarter, we do not expect a further increase in the vacancy number by end of 2021 given most of the new upcoming supply being is pre-committed.”
