A recent CBRE study indicates that artificial intelligence has not yet changed the dynamics of office space leasing across India, despite global hype. The findings suggest traditional factors continue to dominate the market.
The commercial real‑estate consultancy CBRE released a quarterly outlook showing that, as of now, artificial intelligence has not become a decisive factor in India’s office‑leasing decisions. While AI tools are being adopted in other sectors, the report notes that landlords and tenants still prioritize location, cost, and infrastructure over technology‑driven analytics.
Data gathered from major Indian metros reveal that vacancy rates and rental growth remain largely unchanged from previous quarters, with no significant uptick linked to AI‑enabled space planning or predictive leasing models. CBRE’s analysts attribute this to limited awareness and the nascent stage of AI integration within the real‑estate workflow.
The study cautions that while AI’s potential is recognized, its practical impact on leasing negotiations, tenant mix, and space utilization may take longer to materialize in the Indian market. Stakeholders are advised to monitor technological developments but continue focusing on conventional market fundamentals.
