Bengaluru and Mumbai Lead Surge in Green Office Leasing

Bengaluru and Mumbai are leading the charge in the leasing of green-certified office spaces, accounting for over 50% of the total leased area across the six major Indian cities in the second quarter of 2024. A recent report from Colliers reveals that these two metropolitan giants were instrumental in driving a remarkable 13 million square feet of green-certified office space transactions during this period. This surge represents a 24% increase in year-on-year leasing, underscoring a significant shift towards sustainability in India’s commercial real estate landscape.

The dominance of Bengaluru and Mumbai in this sector highlights a pivotal trend: green-certified buildings comprised a substantial 82% of all office leasing activity in the quarter. As urbanisation continues to accelerate, these cities are proving to be proactive in incorporating sustainable practices into their real estate portfolios. The report indicates that a considerable 60% of green office leases signed in Q2 2024 were within newly constructed developments, completed within the last five years. This reflects a growing awareness among corporations regarding their environmental impact and a desire to align their operations with responsible corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Prominent green certifications such as LEED, GRIHA, and WELL are leading the way in endorsing the environmental credentials of these buildings. By evaluating factors such as energy efficiency, waste management, and the incorporation of health and wellness standards in design, these certifications are gaining traction among businesses seeking to enhance their sustainability profiles. The increasing demand for green office spaces indicates a significant change in corporate attitudes, with companies recognising the crucial role of real estate in mitigating climate change challenges.
