Bangalore, Delhi-NCR and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) are slated to account for nearly 75% of this planned office space supply.
"With major corporate decision makers across Europe having indicated an increased appetite for global expansion into Indian markets, this expansion of modern, investment-grade office stock in the main cities of India will go a long way in meeting upcoming opportunities," Magazine said.
According to CBRE's European Occupier Survey 2013-2014, nearly 50% of corporate occupiers, responding to the survey, named India (double the figure from 2012-13 at 24%) as their destination of choice, beating China as a preferred destination (42% in 2013-14, down from 60% in 2012-13).
The major reasons behind such positive sentiments would appear to be rapid population growth and gradually recovering economic prospects, coupled with increasing transparency and improving infrastructure.
