Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s position as one of India’s fastest-growing commercial real estate destinations continues to strengthen, with Embassy Office Parks REIT evaluating the city for a 1.5 million square feet premium office development as part of its future expansion pipeline. The move highlights the city’s growing importance as a preferred destination for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), artificial intelligence (AI) companies, and multinational corporations.
Embassy Office Parks REIT, India’s first listed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and the largest office REIT in Asia by area, said Hyderabad has emerged as one of the key markets being considered for its next phase of office development. The proposed project forms part of the company’s 6.2 million sq. ft. active development pipeline across India.
Strong Financial Performance Backed by GCC Leasing
The announcement comes alongside Embassy REIT’s strong financial performance for the quarter ended June 2026.
- 17% year-on-year growth in revenue from operations
- 17% increase in Net Operating Income (NOI)
- Highest-ever quarterly revenue and NOI reported by the company
- Continued strong leasing momentum driven by GCCs and AI-focused occupiers
According to the company, multinational corporations continue to expand their India operations, with GCCs accounting for a significant share of office leasing activity. AI-driven businesses, engineering firms, financial institutions and technology companies are increasingly seeking premium Grade A office space across major Indian cities.
Hyderabad Emerges as a Preferred Growth Market
Hyderabad has witnessed one of the strongest office market performances in India over the past few years. World-class infrastructure, competitive operating costs, a large pool of skilled professionals and business-friendly government policies have encouraged multinational companies to establish and expand their operations in the city.
Industry reports indicate that office rentals in Hyderabad have climbed to record levels, driven by sustained demand from GCCs and limited availability of premium office space in business districts such as HITEC City, Gachibowli, Financial District, Kokapet and Nanakramguda.
The city has also attracted several global companies across sectors including Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Semiconductor Design, Financial Services, Engineering Research & Development, Life Sciences and Cybersecurity.
Embassy REIT’s Expanding Portfolio
Embassy Office Parks REIT currently manages one of India’s largest commercial office portfolios.
- 52.5 million sq. ft. of completed, under-construction and proposed commercial assets
- 280+ leading multinational occupiers
- 90% portfolio occupancy
- 67% of gross rentals generated by Global Capability Centres (GCCs)
- 14 business parks
- 110 office buildings
- 6.2 million sq. ft. active development pipeline across India
The company believes Hyderabad offers significant long-term growth opportunities due to its expanding technology ecosystem, strong talent base and sustained demand from global occupiers.
Boost for Telangana’s Commercial Real Estate
If approved, the proposed 1.5 million sq. ft. office project will further strengthen Hyderabad’s commercial real estate ecosystem and add another premium Grade A office development to the city’s rapidly growing business landscape.
The investment aligns with the Telangana government’s efforts to attract global companies, promote the establishment of new Global Capability Centres, and position Hyderabad as one of Asia’s leading destinations for technology, innovation and corporate investments.
With several global developers, institutional investors and REITs expanding their footprint in Hyderabad, the city continues to reinforce its reputation as one of India’s most attractive commercial real estate markets for multinational businesses and long-term office investments.
