Bengaluru has once again emerged as the undisputed leader in India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) landscape, capturing more than one-third of the country’s total GCC leasing.

As per the report titled “Workplaces 2025: India Commercial Real Estate Reimagined”, GCCs accounted for nearly 40% of office leasing across India’s top cities in 2025, with Bengaluru alone clocking over 12 million square feet. This places it far ahead of its nearest peers, Pune with 4.8 million sq ft, and Hyderabad and NCR with 4.5 million sq ft each.

With around 875 GCC centres, Bengaluru commands over 35% of India’s total GCC leasing activity. The report attributes this dominance to the city’s deep technology ecosystem, diverse talent pool, and well-established innovation clusters across key corridors such as Outer Ring Road, Whitefield, and North Bengaluru.

On the supply side, the city added 13.5 million sq ft of new office space in 2025 and accounted for 26% of total completions across the top seven cities. Bengaluru now boasts nearly 215 million sq ft of Grade A office stock, with office absorption rising steadily from 7.7 million sq ft in 2021 to 14.93 million sq ft in 2025.

Commenting on the trend, Priyank Kharge, Minister for Electronics, IT, BT, and S&T, said Karnataka’s leadership as a GCC hub reflects strong policy focus, ecosystem development, and sustained investor confidence in the state’s innovation-led growth vision.
