Why Pune Continues to Attract Major Commercial Tenants
The Infosys BPM lease and its contemporaries reflect a robust commercial leasing environment in Pune, driven by several key factors:
1. Talent Availability: Pune’s strong educational ecosystem feeds a steady pipeline of IT, BPM, and engineering professionals, making it a talent-rich hub for occupiers.
2. Cost Advantage: Compared to Bengaluru and Mumbai, Pune offers competitive rentals, better floor plate flexibility, and lower operational overheads.
3. Infrastructure Development: Projects like Metro Phase 1, Pune Ring Road, and widened expressways have improved intra-city accessibility, especially to commercial hubs like Hinjawadi, Baner, and Kharadi.
4. Developer Reliability: Grade A developers like Embassy Group, Panchshil Realty, Nyati Group, and Kohinoor Group continue to build future-ready office spaces backed by global compliance, smart tech, and environmental certifications.
The Bigger Picture: Commercial Supply vs Demand
While Pune’s leasing activity remains strong, industry analysts caution about excess supply risks. According to Animesh Hardia, Senior VP of Quantitative Research at 1 Finance:
> “The current office space supply in Greater Pune will take nearly four years to be absorbed at the current sales velocity. While metro rail connectivity and demand from IT/ITES firms are driving growth, oversupply in some corridors remains a concern.”
This means tenants currently have negotiation power, particularly in locations where new inventory is entering faster than it’s being absorbed.
Conclusion: Pune’s Office Market is Growing—But Smartly
The Infosys BPM lease in Embassy Tech Zone showcases confidence in Pune’s business infrastructure, real estate maturity, and long-term talent ecosystem. With a lease value exceeding ₹25 crore per year, this deal affirms Hinjawadi’s relevance as a major IT corridor, even as newer hubs like Kharadi continue to flourish.
For developers, this is a cue to balance new supply with committed pre-leases. For occupiers and investors, Pune’s blend of growth, affordability, and workforce availability makes it a top contender for India’s next commercial capital.
As we move deeper into FY25, all eyes will be on how Pune sustains this leasing momentum—especially with large IT and co-working players expanding footprints in western and eastern corridors alike.
