Mumbai, November 25, 2019: Office market in India continues to be robust despite sluggish economic growth, with international property consultant Knight Frank in its recent report Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index Q3 2019, showing that the Central Business District (CBD) of Bengaluru, comprising areas such as MG Road, Infantry Road and Residency Road, has registered the highest year-on-year rental growth in the Asia-Pacific region at 17.6% in July to September quarter this year (Q3 2019).

A resurgence in IT/ITeS sector hiring since the first half of 2019 (H1 2019) and increased activity by manufacturing companies kept demand buoyant in Bengaluru CBD. New and higher priced stock coming online in the CBD along with higher rentals being charged by renovated properties also caused rentals to rise.

Bengaluru was followed by the CBDs of Melbourne and Bangkok at the 2nd and 3rd ranks, with a YoY office rental growth of 15.5% and 9.4%, respectively.

The CBDs of Connaught Place in National Capital Region (NCR) and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai were the 7th and 11th fastest-growing prime office markets in the Asia-Pacific region, respectively, with a comparatively modest 4.4% and 2% YoY rental growth in Q3 2019.

In terms of rentals, Hong Kong, with a monthly rental value of USD 206.6 per sqm, was the most expensive office market in Asia-Pacific in Q3 2019, followed by Tokyo (USD 110.9 per sqm) and Singapore (USD 80.5per sqm).

The CBDs of NCR and Mumbai were ranked as the 5th and 7th most expensive prime office markets in Asia-Pacific, with monthly rental values of USD 51.8 per sqm and USD 46.2 per sqm, respectively.

India and Australia were the only two countries that saw rentals grow or stabilise across prime office markets on a quarterly basis in Q3 2019.

Knight Frank’s Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index, which tracks office rental levels of 20 frontline cities across the Asia-Pacific region, rose 0.1% quarter-on-quarter to 157.3 in Q3 2019. Year-on- year, the index rose 1.8%, decelerating from the 3.4% rise witnessed in Q2 2019.

Of the 20 cities tracked by the index, 12 recorded either stable or increased quarterly rents; 3 less than the 14 reported in the previous period. “The office market has been witnessing a steady growth in India, which is adequately reflected in the growth in rental values in prime office markets. Bengaluru, in particular, has seen continued growth in leasing activities, due to the competitive pricing offered by its CBD, as against its counterparts in New Delhi and Mumbai. Bengaluru CBD sees continuous demand, which in turn has pushed the rental values upwards. CBD in New Delhi continues to remain attractive, however, low vacancies and lack of Grade-A supply have restricted leasing volumes in this location. Mumbai CBD, on the other hand, continues to be one of the most favourable office destination commanding high rental values. We expect the trend to continue for these markets as the demand for office space is expected to continue,” said Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India.

by samikha   Mumbai, May, 2024: The scion of Lord Shri Ram's lineage, Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DGPC) Founder and Chairman Ajay Harinath Singh has found himself targeted by unseen forces with vested interests. Retaliating to these ‘unseen forces’ the Darwin Platform Chief emphasized that life threats and malicious campaigns, resulting from political vendetta make him more determined to fight the battle and expose them.  The whispers of a conspiracy began years ago, fueled by jealousy and fear of his growing influence in the 2000s. Coming from a Royal family of Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), his popularity in the state and Maharashtra unnerved many political parties that used to govern. Aligned with sacred lineage, his passion for nation-building and Hindutva made him popular among people and the BJP, however, this antagonized Congress and their current allies. Questions are many- Was the Congress party, in its bid to maintain its hold on power, orchestrating a campaign t...
