India's key office markets Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Gurugram are witnessing higher demand for premium workspaces than new supply, and this will lead to a drop in vacancy rates as well as an increase in rentals during 2025, Mindspace Business Parks REIT chief executive officer (CEO) Ramesh Nair said.

"As we step into 2025, India's office market stands at the cusp of transformative change, mirroring the dynamism of the nation's economy and its burgeoning workforce. This year will be shaped by a synergy of technology, sustainability and evolving business priorities, redefining the way organizations utilize and perceive office spaces," he said.
