MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India’s economic growth decreased to•
4.7% in 4Q 2013 from 4.8% in 3Q 2013. On
a positive note, the Business Confidence
Index (BCI) rose to 54.9 in 4Q 2013 from
45.7 in the previous quarter showing an
increase in business confidence levels.
The volatility in the rupee exchange rate•
has reduced significantly in the surveyed
quarter ensuring continued foreign
institutional investor interest in Indian
financial securities.
Net export figures reflecting both export•
growth and import compression suggest
that export-led sectors such as
information technology and
pharmaceuticals are performing better in
2014.
About 8 million sq ft. of office space was•
leased across the eight major cities in
India showing a 7% increase on QoQ
basis. All markets, with the exception of
Mumbai, Chennai and Pune, have
witnessed increase in office absorption.
Bangalore and NCR topped the chart
contributing 75% in the total
absorption.
COLLIERS VIEW : Occupiers are looking
beyond the CBD and SBD markets for
more strategic opportunities. In 2014, we
should see a continuation of this trend,
as players in search of more cost-effective
solutions will move towards the PBD.
With positive signals emanating from the
global economy, which finds resonance
in our improved export performance, we
anticipate that after the elections, the
office market will start seeing a revival in
terms of absorption, supply and new
project launches.

During 1Q 2014, the Mumbai office•
markets witnessed a further decline
in office space absorption indicating
cautious occupier sentiment. This lack of
demand can be attributed to a low level
of IT/ITeS sector participation in the
overall absorption, which is currently
the primary demand generating sector
across the cities.
This quarter only about 0.42 million sq•
ft of Grade A office space was leased
with a few mid-sized deals concluded in
Central and Western Suburbs, and Navi
Mumbai.
Construction activities remained slow.•
No projects / phases of projects were
completed this quarter. Developers also
refrained from launching new projects
due to low demand.
More than 7.5 million sq ft of Grade A•
commercial office space was available
for fit-out during the surveyed quarter
of which, about 80% was concentrated
in micro-markets like Andheri East,
Lower Parel, BKC and Thane / LBS Road.
Vacancy remained almost stable due
to the limited addition of new supply.
Rents and capital values for Grade A
office space remained stable in all of the
micro-markets.
COLLIERS VIEW:• Sectors like BFSI
and FMCG, have become cautious
in office uptake. This coupled with
reduced IT/ITeS absorption is likely to
result in lower demand in 2014. Rents
and capital values are thus expected to
remain stable; however, micro-markets
such as Andheri, BKC (Bandra-Kurla-
Complex) and Lower Parel could see an
upward movement in the range of 1 - 2%
QoQ due to continued interest from the
occupiers.

Delhi witnessed improved demand as•
office absorption nearly doubled this
quarter amounting to approximately
0.3 million sq ft. Approximately 60%
of this total absorption is contributed
by large office space occupiers such as
Moser Bear, Snapdeal and VFS Global.
Remaining 40% of the leases were
small office spaces (5,000 - 10,000 sq
ft) occupied by the corporate offices
of BFSI, airlines, real estate and media
companies.
In the surveyed quarter, the city added•
0.8 million sq ft of new, Grade A office
supply. Projects contributing this supply
were Hyatt Commercial Block by Asian
Hotels in Bhikaji Cama Place; Ambience
TowerbyAmbienceDeveloperinRohini;
and Prime Tower by DLF in Okhla
Phase I.
The total Grade A supply available for fit-•
out this quarter was about 2.5 million sq
ft, mainly concentrated in Jasola, Saket
and Connaught Place.
Averagerentandcapitalvaluesremained•
unalteredduring1Q2014,howeversome
new buildings demanding above-market
prices due to their premium location and

COLLIERS VIEW:• Occupiers will remain
cost-conscious and prefer small Grade
A properties for their corporate offices
in the CBD area. The upcoming new
supply in Aero City near the airport
is expected to have an impact on the
market dynamics with nearly 0.9 million
sq ft forecasted to get operational in
2014. The location is expected to attract
a significant number of occupiers due to
itsadvantageouslocationandavailability

In 1Q 2014, occupiers leased more than•
1.6 million sq ft of Grade A office space
in Gurgaon, a modest increase of 5%
from last quarter. This marginal increase
in the office space absorption figure is
an indication of the reviving occupier
confidence level.
IT/ITeS and BFSI were the most active•
occupiers leasing large office spaces.
The total available stock for lease or sale•
was approximately 16 million sq ft. New
supplyenteringthemarketaccountedfor
approximately 1.5 million sq ft. Projects
contributing to this new supply include
Palm Square and Eros Tower, located at
Golf Course Extension Road; and Palm
Spring Plaza and One Horizon Centre at
Golf Course Road.
Projects launched this quarter include•
Gateway by Unitech Ltd and Biosphere
by Emmar MGF, both located on MG
Road; and KST Tower by KST Group
on the Dwarka Expressway. All of these
projects will add approximately 1 million
sq ft to the city’s Grade A inventory by
2018.
Rents and capital values remained flat•
compared to last quarter. However,
MG Road and the institutional sectors
witnessed marginal decreases in the
range of 1 to 3% QoQ. Limited availability
of large floor plate Grade A office space
resulted in low demand in these micro-
markets
COLLIERS VIEW:• In 2014, it is likely that
lease volumes will increase. Stock in
cost-effective locations, like Golf Course
Extension Road and Sohna Road, will be
preferred,primarilybecauseofoccupiers
interest in high-quality assets at cheaper
rents.

The total volume of office absorption•
in 1Q 2014 in NOIDA was recorded at
0.21 million sq. ft. dominated mostly
by consulting, Engineering and BFSI
segments in sector 62 and Sector 127.
Share of sector 62 in the total absorption
pie has increased as corporate are able
to get better deals with more options at
competitive rentals.
The delivery of World Trade Tower in•
Sector 16 and two individual buildings
in Sectors 6 and 125 contributed
approximately 0.9 million sq ft of new
space to the market.
Despite low absorption levels,•
developers continued to launch new,
commercial Grade A towers in their
mixed-use projects in sectors along the
NOIDA Expressway. New launches this
quarter include Downtown by Sikka
Developer, and Cosmic Corporate Park
III by Cosmic Developers. These projects
will contribute another 1.5 million sq
ft of Grade A non-IT office space to the
city’s inventory by 2019.
Rents in almost all micro markets•
remained stable due to low transaction
volumes. Sectors along the NOIDA
Expressway command premiums in
terms of rents due to the location and
connectivity advantages.
COLLIERS VIEW:• NOIDA is expected to
witness new office space completions of
approximately 4.5 mn sq. ft. by the end
of 2014. Most of this upcoming supply is
non-IT/ITeS office space. The addition
of Grade A non-IT/ITeS office space is
expected to attract corporate occupiers
to this market.

In Chenani, leasing transaction volumes•
continued to remain below average.
Total absorption was 0.56 mn sq. ft.
during the quarter. The majority of leases
signed were for smaller, sub-25,000 sq ft
office spaces. Micro-markets like Old
Mahabali Puram Road and Guindy
remained the standout performers this
quarter. Having quality office space
on offer combined with affordability
has enabled these micro-markets to be
preferred destinations for occupiers.
A few projects / phases of projects•
were completed this quarter, including
Ramaniyam ISHA by RamaniyamGroup
at Thoraipakkam; KPR Towers at
Nungambakkam; and VikramVikra at
Vadapalani. All of these projects together
add 0.09 million sq ft of Grade A office
space to the city’s total inventory.
New project launches continued to•
remain limited. A phase of about 0.25
million sq ft in DLF IT SEZ-Block 2,
located at Manapakkam, was launched
by DLF Ltd this quarter and is expected
to be completed by the end of 2015.
The lack of major tenant moves and•
expansions by large occupiers has seen
rentscontinuetoremainsteadyinalmost
all micro-markets.
COLLIERS VIEW:• The outlook for the
leasing market across Chennai over
the next 9 months is more positive than
the previous two quarters. Improving
sentiment and prospects for the global
economy as well as rising business
and consumer confidence should all
combine to boost the sentiment of IT/
ITeS tenants who make up the bulk of
tenants in Chennai.

Strong demand for Grade A office space•
witnessed during 1Q 2014 resulted
in a 35% QoQ increase in absorption
in the Bengaluru market. IT/ITeS
remained the primary demand driver
contributing approximately 80% in the
total absorption of 3.8 million sq ft. This
includes approximately 1.7 million sq ft
pre-commitment deals from companies
like IBM, Ericson and Hindustan Coca
Cola Beverages for expansion purposes.
During the quarter, many large scaled•
projects / phases of projects were
completed and added over 2.9 million
sq ft of Grade A office space to the city’s
total inventory.
Enthused by this demand, a number of•
developers launched additional towers
in their existing projects, including
Divyasree Technopolis-Block D; Mantri
Cornerstone-Block B; Pritech-Block 14
and RMZ ECO WORLD – Towers 4A, 4B
and all of these projects together will add
over 4.8 million sq ft office space to city’s
inventory by the end of 2015.
Withdemandandsupply complementing•
each other, vacancy levels remain
unaltered and about 11 million sq ft of
Grade A stock was available for fit-out
during the quarter.
The capital and rental values also•
remained steady in almost all micro-
markets in the city.
COLLIERS VIEW:• The strong software
export figures indicate increase in IT/
ITeS uptake in the coming quarters in
the city. We anticipate modest increases
in rents in micro-markets like Outer
Ring Road and CBD due to occupier
preference to other micro-markets like
Whitefield and Electronic City.

The city witnessed improved demand•
this quarter and recorded Grade A
absorption of about 0.18 million sq
ft. More than 90% of these deals were
concluded in the Salt Lake-Sector V and
New Town micro-markets. This quarter,
various local occupiers have relocated
from their old structures to new and
better facilitated structures.
Construction activities remained slow•
during the quarter and only a few
properties were completed including
Pecon Tower by Pecon Group and Rishi
Techpark by Mittal Group, both of which
areatNewTown.Together,theseprojects
contributed about 0.1 million sq ft of
Grade A commercial office supply.
Projects launched this quarter include•
Weston by Siddha Group at Bentinck
Street; Arya Hub by Arya Realty at
Taratala; and Pressman House by
Pressman at New Town. The projects are
expected to be completed by 2017 and
will contribute about 0.47 million sq ft of
Grade A commercial office space in the
city.
Rental values declined in the range of 1•
to 4% QoQ in most of the micro-markets,
except SBD where rents remained stable.
During the same quarter, capital values
remained stable, except for Sector V
where capital values decline by 3% QoQ.
COLLIERS VIEW:• Upcoming
infrastructure developments like metro
corridors will improve the overall
connectivity of the city. Micro-markets
like Salt Lake-Sector V and New Town
will continue to see occupier interest.
Rents and capital values are expected to
remain under pressure due to prevailing
high vacancy in suburban micro-
markets.

* Indicative Grade A rents in INR per sq ft per month.
Pune has witnessed more than 0.85•
million sq ft of absorption in 1Q 2014,
which is relatively less than the last
quarter’s net absorption of 1.55 million
sq ft. However, more than 65% of
the transactions were for expansion
indicating rebounding business
confidence levels.
About 1 million sq ft of new Grade A•
supply was added to the city’s total
inventory. Of this 0.8 million sq ft was
contributed by Business Bay Tower I by
Panchshil Realty, located at Yerwada.
Total Grade A total supply available•
for fit-out was about 5.7 million sq ft.
mainly concentrated in the Hinjewadi
and Kharadi micro-markets. This is an
increase of about 1.19 million sq ft of
Grade A office space over the previous
quarter indicating increasing vacancy in
peripheral areas.
In most of the micro-markets rents and•
capital values remained unchanged,
however a few micro-markets like
Airport Road, Hinjewadi, Hadapsar
and Fursungi witnessed an increase in
the range of 3 - 4% on a quarterly basis.
This is primarily due to the availability
of grade A office space with a low rental
base as compared to the other parts of
the city.
COLLIERS VIEW:• IT/ITeS will continue
tobethemajoroccupierofGradeAoffice
space in the city. Despite the demand
/ supply equilibrium in the city, rents
in micro-markets located towards the
north-west and south-east will see a rise
in the range of 3 - 5% on a yearly basis.
This is because of the large floor-plate of
the Grade A inventory with ready social
infrastructure that will continue to lure
occupiers in the near future.
