India is cementing its status as the world’s GCC capital. With 200+ new centers launched in the past 24 months, the ecosystem’s physical footprint is set to eclipse 350 million square feet by 2028, per a fresh JLL report.
Leasing soared to a record 31 million square feet in 2025, spotlighting acceleration in prime cities. Bengaluru leads at 34-39% market share with 900 units; Hyderabad excels in health-tech at 20-23%; Pune holds 15-20% via lifestyle and connectivity perks.
Tier-1 dominance is stark: 90% activity here, amid 263 million square feet of Grade A space in top metros, which captured 40% of all office deals last decade.
‘Growth is not just numbers—it’s a narrative of depth and direction,’ observes JLL’s Dr. Samantak Das.
Tier-2 transformation adds intrigue. Ahmedabad’s corridors, GIFT City’s fintech allure, Kolkata’s heritage, and Jaipur’s dynamism are turning prospects into realities. This wave transcends space—it’s about ecosystems thriving on talent, policy, and potential.
As multinationals recalibrate, India’s GCC surge promises sustained economic momentum, urban renewal, and a blueprint for global offshoring success.
