[ecis2016.org] Owing to uncertainties over the return of employees to offices, net absorption went down by 22% in Hyderabad in 2021, while new completions also declined by 14%

The pre-leasing commitments in Hyderabad was largely intact in 2021 and even the downsizing activity, undertaken by corporates, has been limited.

Nevertheless, uncertainties existed over the return of employees to offices and this led to slightly lower net absorption of Grade A office spaces in Hyderabad.

As the work-from-home (WFH) regime continued in 2021, vacancies in Hyderabad shot up to an average of 9.8% in 2021 compared to an average of 5% in 2020. The average rent across all the months of 2021 in Hyderabad’s commercial properties, declined in 2021 at Rs 59.1 per sq ft per month compared to an average of Rs 67.6 per sq ft per month in 2020, according to the JLL India report. Landlords were seen accommodating their tenants’ demands to a certain extent, offering rent-free periods at some places. However, the same is not expected to continue for long, as occupancy levels have seen upward trajectory in the last quarter of 2021.

Hyderabad’s commercial space micro markets

Gachibowli locality in Hyderabad contributed a large share in the new completions of Grade A office buildings in 2021. Decent new supplies became operational in Hyderabad with lower occupancy level that drove up the vacancy levels. Some new supplies also came in at Kokapet and the financial district of the Gachibowli submarket. Even in 2022, new supplies are expected to come majorly in these two sub-markets as they emerge as the preferred location of the corporate occupiers. IT/ITeS and e-commerce were two major occupiers of commercial properties in Hyderabad. These industries and healthcare are expected to be the major takers of space in 2022 too, according to the JLL India report.
