Amid surging office demand in this re-established IT hub, most of the upcoming quality office spaces have been pre-committed by occupiers, creating a severe supply shortage. Hyderabad's average office rent is likely to surge in 2017, as en-bloc completions are still 12-15 months away. We advise developers to expedite construction and undertake new projects to meet the heightened occupier demand to retain the city's image of an affordable Information Technology and Information Technology and enabled services (IT-ITeS) location.
