Delhi - NCR Office Market Snapshot 2013

Highlights

In 2013, Delhi NCR witnessed approximately 8.31 MN SF of commercial space lease absorption. Unlike other major Indian cities, the cumulative new o�ce space leases were 22% more than the previous year. A number of large deals included developer’s committing to hard options to accommodating new and existing occupier expected growth requirements. Despite better absorption rates, there was almost no new commercial project launches from the major developers, who preferred to start residential projects over commercial developments.

Demand

Within Delhi NCR, 70% of the space was leased in Gurgaon, 23% in NOIDA and the remaining 7% in Delhi. Most tenants were cost conscious and looked at ways to reduce their potential occupan-cy costs. �us in other markets, relocation and consolidation were the primary demand generators for o�ce space. Compared to the previous years, most landlords were willing to provide greater incentives to occupiers. �e average ticket size of the deals was approximately 34,000 SF around 30% more than the last year �gure of approx. 26,000 SF

Approximately 26% of the total absorption of more than 31 MN SF across top 6 cities was contributed by NCR. IT/ITeS remained the major occupiers, contributing 50% of the total absorption. �is was followed by Engineering and BFSI, together accounting for 25% of the total absorption.

Supply & Vacancy

New o�ce inventory was close to 6.44 MN SF during 2013. Of the total new space added to the stock in 2013, only 12% was located in Delhi and the remainder was evenly split between peripheral micro markets of NOIDA and Gurgaon. �e current overall vacancy is 19%, which is marginally higher than that recorded at the same time in 2012 (18.5%).

Rental & Capital Values

�ere was a marginal 3% Year-on-Year decrease in rentals in Delhi, while Gurgaon and NOIDA witnessed stable rental values during 2013 baring few micro markets such as Cyber city in Gurgaon and sector 18 in NOIDA which witnessed an increase of 7% and 2.5% respectively, on Year-on-Year basis.

2014 Prognosis

�e sentiment remains cautious, despite robust absorption in 2013. �ere is limited new stock that will be ready for �t outs in 2014 and we expect much of it to be deferred to the year after. On the other hand Delhi corporates are expanding and opening o�ces in Delhi due to availability of trained human resources, proximity to the central government and reasonably priced real estate. Due to the above, average rental values in Delhi NCR will remain stable and vacancy rate will fall marginally. Gurgaon is expected to witness a lot of lease renewals in 2014 and 2015, as companies that set up o�ces in 2004 - 06 (the “�rst wave” of occupiers) approach the end of their lease terms. �ese compa-nies face a substantial di�erential between their current contractual rentals and the prevailing market rentals at which the new lease is likely to be signed. �ese companies will need to choose between staying in their current location at higher rentals and relocating to peripheral micro-markets o�ering cheaper rentals. Gurgaon will thus witness further segmentation of micro-markets in cost terms in 2014.

As most of the new supply is expected in NOIDA, the rental values will be under downward pressure. Locations such as the NOIDA Expressway may buck the trend as corporate prefer to locate along this stretch which o�ers superior infrastructure and quality of buildings.

Unless circle rates are rationalized, the sale market in Delhi will remain stressed. As in 2013, sales volume of commercial space in Delhi will remain low.
