New Delhi.
The number of global capacity centers (GCC) in India is expected to increase from 1,700 to more than 2,200 by 2030. This information was given in a report on Friday. Domestic investment bank SBI Capital Markets (SBICAPS) said in its report that the Real Estate Investment Asset Under Management (REIT AUM) will increase by 25-30 percent in the coming years due to the wide range of asset classes and continuous availability of investmentable assets.
According to the State Bank of India (SBI) investment banking branch report, Leasing for office space broke the previous record in 2024 with an increase in fares and a decrease in vacancies. Speed continues in the year 2025, especially activities in Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Pune are strong. GCCs were the main demand sources, where multinational companies were using India for their main activities instead of the lowest cost workforce. The report estimates a 1.3 -fold increase for these features over the next few years.
The Flex Space saw a 43 percent increase in leasing in leasing in the first half of 2025, which is the highest leasing so far in a period of six months. According to the report, “The formalization of the region, which started with RERA and IBC, has now reached its peak. These factors have increased the desire for fund residence. Promoters have used the QIP route aggressively in FY 2025 to raise equity.”
Altrunet Investment Fund (AIF) is rapidly involved in the high-risk, high-ending phase of land procurement and construction finance. The report states that Real Estate was his largest investment area in the year 2025, which is almost double from the next region. The report further states that with the stabilizing of several regulatory actions in favor of institutional capital and regional cash flow, the trend of fund raising (IPO, AIF, Sovereign Wealth Fund etc.) will continue.
SBI Caps said that commercial real estate, especially the office, is a high-development area, where there are opportunities for the risk-benefit matrix of each investor. Regulatory ecosystem is favorable to broaden the investor base and will increase retail participation with the expansion of REIT AUM in the future.
