Delhi-NCR retail real estate posted record leasing, lower mall vacancy and higher rents in 2024. Connectivity projects and mixed-use development are driving Noida and Gurugram demand, while the region is projected to deliver over 27 million sq ft of retail space by 2028.

Why this matters

The 2024 rent and vacancy shift aligns with a resurfaced December 2024 report on rising leasing and a 27 million sq ft pipeline, while Q1 2026 leasing later jumped 45% on fashion and F&B demand.
