Image
  Introduction Indian Office Market Sees Strong Rental Recovery in 2024 The office rental market across India’s six key cities has witnessed substantial growth, with  average rents  surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time since 2019. This surge in rents, recorded in 2024, reflects a recovery of two to eight per cent compared to the pre-COVID period, driven by the return of strong leasing activity post-pandemic.
