Delhi-NCR retail real estate saw record 2024 leasing, declining mall vacancies and higher rents, aided by infrastructure projects including Jewar Airport and Dwarka Expressway. The region is projected to lead India’s retail-development pipeline through 2028.

Why this matters

The signal extends recent coverage of 3.1 mn sq ft H1 2024 leasing and Q1's 45% leasing rise driven by fashion and F&B, while aligning with the related 27 million sq ft pipeline and rent-growth report.
