Three Indian cities – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru – are among the most expensive commercial real estate markets in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, according to a recent report by real estate consultancy Knight Frank. These markets could become even more expensive as commercial real estate rents in these cities are expected to rise over the next 12 months.
Hong Kong SAR remained Asia’s most expensive office market with an annual rent of $175.4 per square foot per year.
India’s national capital, Delhi NCR, is the 10th most expensive commercial real estate market in the APAC region, with an annual rent of $51.6 per square foot. Delhi was followed by Mumbai, India’s financial capital, in 11th ranking as commercial property rents were $45.8 per square foot per year.

These relocation activities in the past six months have led to a real estate crisis in cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune, the report said. Saurabh Garg, co-founder and chief business officer of NoBroker, noted that the lack of available real estate and rising demand had caused rents in cities to rise by 12%.
