The study reveals that 26% of the total absorption of more than 31 million sq ft across top 6 cities was contributed by NCR. ?
‘Engineering and BFSI, together account for 25% of the total absorption. Of the 8.31 million sq ft commercial lease in Delhi NCR, 70% of the space was leased in Gurgaon, 23% in Noida and the remaining 7% in Delhi.
Gurgaon is expected to witness further segmentation of micro-markets in cost terms in 2014.
”Gurgaon is expected to witness a lot of lease renewals in 2014 and 2015, as companies that set up offices in 2004 to 06 (the ?first wave? of occupiers) approach the end of their lease terms,” report states.
However, as in 2013, sales volume and sale market of commercial space in Delhi will remain low and stressed.
