Delhi-NCR retail real estate saw stronger 2024 leasing, lower mall vacancies and higher high-street rents. Noida and Gurugram demand was supported by infrastructure and Jewar Airport, while the region is projected to lead India’s retail-development pipeline through 2028.

Why this matters

The 2024 pattern precedes a December 2024 report of rising leasing, rents and a 27 mn sq ft pipeline, and Q1 2026 data showing leasing up 45% as fashion and F&B pursued quality space.
