US-based companies have emerged as the single-largest contributors to India’s office space demand in recent years, accounting for over one-third of gross leasing across the top seven cities between 2022 and 2024, according to data from real estate consultancy JLL India.During the three-year period, total office leasing across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune stood at 190 million square feet. Of this, US firms alone leased 64.5 million sq ft, with nearly 70% of that space taken to establish or expand Global Capability Centres (GCCs), JLL said.“India’s combination of skilled talent at scale, supportive ecosystem, cost advantages and a growth-oriented policy environment continues to make it an increasingly attractive destination for US corporations looking to establish and expand their global capabilities,” said Rahul Arora, Head – Office Leasing & Retail Services and Senior Managing Director (Karnataka, Kerala) at JLL India, PTI reported.The data underlines sustained interest from US-based multinationals in India’s technology hubs, led by Bengaluru, which continues to be the top choice for setting up GCCs. JLL noted that GCC-led requirements formed around 70% of all space demand from US occupiers, signalling strong long-term investment and positioning India as a key hub for R&D, technology and innovation.Technology and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) companies from the US are driving much of this office demand, according to JLL, reflecting a broader global shift towards centralising high-end service operations in India.
