Pune followed with 3.01 MSF, while Delhi NCR and Mumbai recorded 2.37 MSF and 2.23 MSF, respectively.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The demand remained strong through the second quarter, when GCC occupiers leased nearly 8 MSF, accounting for 37 per cent of the country&#8217;s quarterly office leasing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>GCCs were responsible for more than half of Bengaluru&#8217;s gross leasing in Q2, accounting for 52 per cent of the city&#8217;s activity. Bengaluru recorded 10.3 MSF of gross leasing during H1, alongside 8.8 MSF of new office supply.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Pune recorded an identical 52 per cent GCC share of quarterly leasing, with GCC occupiers taking up 1.66 MSF during the quarter.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The GCC footprint also strengthened in Chennai and Hyderabad. GCCs made up 46 per cent of Chennai&#8217;s Q2 leasing and 37 per cent of Hyderabad&#8217;s. For the first half as a whole, GCCs accounted for a record 51 per cent of Chennai&#8217;s leasing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>In Delhi NCR, GCC leasing reached 1.4 MSF in Q2, increasing 50 per cent from the previous quarter and 8 per cent from the same period a year earlier.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Hyderabad&#8217;s overall office vacancy fell to 19.1 per cent, while vacancy in Grade A+ properties stood at 3.9 per cent, as leasing activity continued alongside limited new completions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Anshul Jain, Chief Executive &#8211; India, SEA, MEA &amp; APAC Office and Retail at Cushman &amp; Wakefield, said, &#8220;The robust leasing activity during the first half of 2026 reinforces the structural strength of India&#8217;s office market. While global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties have led occupiers to adopt a more measured approach to decision-making, the underlying demand story remains firmly intact.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>He added, &#8220;Organisations continue to make long-term commitments to India, reflecting confidence in the country&#8217;s talent ecosystem, business environment and long-term growth potential.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>&#8220;Global Capability Centres continue to be at the heart of this momentum, with their expansion increasingly shaping demand across multiple office markets,&#8221; Jain noted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Overall office demand remained positive across the country&#8217;s leading markets. India&#8217;s top eight office markets recorded 43 MSF of gross leasing in H1 2026, 5 per cent higher than a year earlier. Pan-India office vacancy declined to 13.7 per cent in Q2, extending the run of compression to 12 consecutive quarters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Among occupier segments, IT-BPM accounted for the largest share of H1 leasing at 22 per cent. BFSI followed with 19 per cent, while Engineering &amp; Manufacturing accounted for 16 per cent.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
