The office market got its much needed support at macro economy level. The economy expanded to 7.40% in 2015 underpinned by low inflation, low interest rates and growth in investments. We have recorded about 40.21 million sq ft office space lease transactions excluding pre-commitment of another 3 million sq ft in India’s eight major cities. This was about 15% more than the absorption in 2014. New construction continued to trend upwards, reaching nearly 32 million sq ft in 2015, up from 24 million sq ft in 2014. The ratio of absorption to new supply, one of the key metrics we use to gauge the supply-demand balance of the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) markets, indicates that office users absorbed more amount of space, than what was added to new supply indicating dropping vacancy rates. Bengaluru, with about 13.43 million sq ft of office absorption and 12.85 million sq ft of new construction continued to hold its number one position across cities. The city shared about 33% and 41% respectively, in total absorption and new supply among eight major cities in India this year. Mumbai and NCR office transaction volume reached a post-recession high of 6.57 and 9.10 million sq ft in 2015 witnessing an increase of 111% and 18% from last year, respectively. Pune and Kolkata shared 12% and 2% in the total office absorption. The occupier group made their long-pending decisions and India saw some big ticket office deals in 2015, such as ‘Wells Indicators 2014 2015 Gross Domestic Product 6.60% 7.40% Business Confidence Index 49.90% 56.40% Repo Rate 8.00% 6.75% Reverse Repo Rate 7.00% 5.75% Cash Reserve Ratio 4.00% 4.00% Inflation (WPI) 2 0.00% -2.15% Prime Lending Rate 10.00% - 10.25% 9.70% - 10.00% Deposit Rate 3 8.00% - 9.00% 7.75% - 8.00% Source: Government of India, Colliers International India Research 6.

The demand was primarily driven by technology sector while e-commerce emerged as a significant contributor of this demand within this sector. Across cities, Grade A office space in suburban markets remained in preference for technology occupiers who were the top contributors to the office demand. The real estate sentiments further boosted due to some of the key announcements such as rationalisation of the capital gains tax for REITs and InvITs, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (STT), relaxation in FDI norms for real estate sector, inclusion of CRE in the ambit of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) bill etc. Private equity activity in the commercial sector continued to gain momentum. Institutional investors, both domestic and overseas, are demonstrating an increased appetite and willingness to engage. The commercial market witnessed several leased asset sales such as Abbott India Ltd bought Godrej BKC, Mumbai for INR 1,479 crore, CPPIB-Shapoorji Pallonji bought S P Infocity, Chennai for INR 1,340 crore, Blackstone invested INR 1,060 crore to buy 247 Park from HCC Real Estate Ltd. in Mumbai. Trends to watch for in 2016 Outlook for office market looks strong, as currently, most of the Indian markets are in the “sweet spot” in terms of supply-and-demand fundamentals. In 2015, most of the cities witnessed low vacancy, a steady increase in development activity and less speculative development. The combination of positive economy, stronger job growth prospect and limited and targeted construction activity bodes well for the market in 2016. Occupiers across all sectors will continue to become more space efficient, doing more with less space as their leases come up for renewal. But as hiring activity is expected to increase further, firms will need more space to house additional workers. Looking at the RFPs floating in the market, the office real estate market in 2016 is expected to be at par with 2015 in terms of office absorption though capital and rental values are likely to remain stable. Nevertheless, for Grade A office space, rents are expected to strengthen for quality office space in almost all the micro markets. We expect that private enterprise will play a major role in the industrial and warehousing sector, given the government’s push for “Make in India” and the rise of e-tailing. Also, if REITs take off this year, the office market will see more overseas investment in 2016 with big capital chasing limited premium office developments.

Mumbai shows strong demand Office absorption doubles in 2015, over 6.5 million sq ft recorded 2015 was a solid year for the Mumbai office market with absorption totaling 6.57 million sq ft; this was more than double of last year’s absorption of 3.12 million sq ft. Apart from this, IT/ITeS giant TCS has pre-committed 2 million sq ft in Hiranandani Estate, Thane, which is expected to materalise by 3Q 2018. Sector wise, BFSI commanded the absorption with about 34% share, followed by IT/ITeS 28% and Pharma 15%. Western Suburbs micro market including, Andheri (E), Malad, Goregaon (E), Jogeshwari (E) outperformed with more than 32% of the total absorption, followed by BKC (Bandra- Kurla-Complex) 22%, Navi Mumbai 16%, Central Suburbs & Central Mumbai 12% each, Thane 5% and CBD 2%. This year, we recorded a number of outright transactions in office market including, purchase of about 400,000 sq ft office space in, ‘Godrej BKC’, by Abbott India; 200,000 sq ft by Axis Bank in ‘The Ruby’, developed by Ruby Group at Dadar; and 100,000 sq ft each by SBI and Edelweiss in L&T Sea Woods and Kohinoor City located at Navi Mumbai and Kurla, respectively. Equivalent to our last year’s forecast, more than 3.36 million sq ft of new supply was added in 2015. Till 4Q 2015, approximately 7.6 million sq ft of vacant Grade A office space was available for lease or sale in the Mumbai office market. Most of this supply was situated in Andheri (E) and Thane/ LBS Marg 19% each, Worli/ Prabhadevi 13%, Navi Mumbai 12%, BKC & Powai 9% each, Malad 7%, Goregaon 5%, Lower Parel 3% and CBD & Kalina 2% each. Due to robust absorption and limited new supply, the overall vacancy levels fell in 2015 from 14% in 2014 to 13% in 2015. Office rents witnessed an average increase of about 1% YoY across the micro-markets. A few locations, such as CBD, Andheri (E), Navi Mumbai and Powai recorded an increase in *Indicative Grade A rents in INR per sq ft per month **Nariman Point, Ballard Estate & Fort MICRO MARKETS RENTAL VALUE* % CHANGE QoQ YoY CBD** 200 - 250 0% 5% Worli/Prabhadevi 180 - 210 0% -5% Lower Parel 145 - 190 0% 0% BKC 225 - 320 0% 0% Kalina 150 - 200 0% 0% Goregaon / JVLR 100 - 110 0% 0% Andheri East 90 - 130 0% 5% Malad 80 – 100 0% 0% Powai 120 - 130 0% 4% Navi Mumbai 70 - 100 0% 6% Thane / LBS 60 - 75 0% 0% Research & Forecast Report Mumbai | Office January 2016 INDICATORS 2014 2015 2016F 2017F Vacancy Absorption Construction Rental Value Capital Value Rental Values City Office Barometer Source: Colliers International India Research Source: Colliers International India Research 8. 9 Research & Forecast Report | January 2016 | <<India>> | Colliers International Key under construction projects the range of 4 to 6%, while Worli/ Prabhadevi witnessed an annual decrease of about 5%. This year, the state Government has given nod to new Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) policy. The policy aims at making state an IT, animation and gaming industry hub by attracting INR 50,000 crore of investment and creating 1 million jobs by 2020. Trends to watch for in 2016 The office market of Mumbai has started showing strong fundamentals, which is evident from the revived occupier demand. With the new state government in place and positive vibes from the centre in terms of favourable policies for the city’s real estate and major infrastructure projects, the city is likely to augur well in 2016. Over the next six months, we anticipate a rise in commercial demand in this market with tenants seeking quality office space. Given the lack of supply and increasing demand, we also expect a positive outlook for landlords, while in the second half of 2016, approximately 11 million sq ft office supply is expected to hit the market, which will help to keep rents stable during the year. Notes: 1. Office Market: The major business locations in Mumbai are the CBD (Nariman Point, Fort and Ballard Estate), Central Mumbai (Worli, Lower Parel and Parel), Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Andheri Kurla stretch. Powai, Malad and Vashi are the preferred IT/ ITES destinations, while Airoli at Navi Mumbai and Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg are emerging as new office and IT/ITES submakets. 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4.

Delhi office market takes a step back in 2015 Absorption plunged down by 25% YoY to 0.89 million sq ft Delhi witnessed over 0.89 million sq ft of office absorption during this year, which was about 25% less than the 2014 absorption of 1.18 million sq ft. CBD with 34% share in the total absorption remained the most preferred location among occupiers. Newly developed office micro market Aerocity also grabbed about 26% share in this demand while Saket and Jasola shared only 12% and 8%, respectively. This year, the average deal size has gone down to 9,500 sq ft as compared to last year’s 16,500 sq ft which may be the primary reason for fall in absorption. Sector wise, BFSI, with a 32% share in absorption, holds the top position, followed by IT/ITeS 30%, Manufacturing 12%, Pharma 10% and others 16%. In notable office transactions, Hike took 60,000 sq ft in Bharti Worldmark at Aerocity, VFS Global & HP took 50,000 sq ft each in R Cube Centre and Red Fort Capital Tower, both located at Connaught Place and Amarchand Mangaldas took 44,000 sq ft in Religare House located at Saket. In 2015, about 0.91 million sq ft of new supply was added to the city’s Grade A commercial office space. This new supply was primarily concentrated in Okhla, Mohan Cooperative, Aerocity and Pusa Road. Currently, the city has about 1.8 million sq ft of vacant stock available for lease/sale. Limited new supply addition resulted in marginal decrease in the city vacancy levels. Despite low absorption, average rents in Delhi increased by 2% YoY, while Connaught Place and Jasola, recorded a 2% YoY decline in rents. Capital values on an average increased by 4% YoY across the micro markets, except Saket where capital values declined by 10% YoY.

The project will include a 14-hectare Dwarka Business Centre, which will act as a financial hub for banks and financial institutions. Trends to watch for in 2016 We expect an increase in absorption in 2016, especially from BFSI, IT/ITeS, Media & Entertainment and Government sector. Micro markets like Connaught Place, Aero City, Saket and Okhla will continue to see maximum traction. The city has a number of under construction projects such as “Skipper House” at Barakhamba Road, “Parsvnath 27” at KG Marg, “RPS Infinia” alongside Mathura Road and NBCC Plaza at Kidwai Nagar which are likely to add more than 4 million sq ft of commercial office space. However, we are not expecting much new supply in 2016 as all these projects will take atleast 2-3 years for completion. Thus in the next 12 months, there will be a marginal upward pressure on rents. Besides this, the premium Grade A buildings will continue to demand premium due to limited availability. Notes: 1. Office Market: The commercial areas in New Delhi can be broadly classified into the CBD (Connaught Place), SBD Nehru Place, Bhikaji Cama Place, Netaji Subhash Place, Jasola and Saket . 2. Rents/Capital Value: Market average of indicative asking price for Grade A office space. 3. Available Supply: Total Grade A office space being marketed for sale or lease in surveyed quarter. 4. City Barometer: Represents increase, decrease or stable scenario; as compared to previous quarter. 5. All the figures in the report is based on market information as on 25th December 2015.
