New Delhi: Mindspace Business Parks REIT (Mindspace REIT), one of India’s leading office-focused real estate investment trusts, has reported a strong financial performance for the third quarter of FY26, registering a 28.7% year-on-year increase in Net Operating Income (NOI). The robust growth highlights sustained demand for high-quality commercial office spaces across key Indian markets, driven by strong leasing activity, improved occupancies, and stable rental collections.
The REIT’s performance during the quarter underscores the continued recovery and resilience of India’s commercial real estate sector, particularly in Grade A office assets located in established business districts.
Strong Operating Performance Across Portfolio
During Q3 FY26, Mindspace REIT benefited from consistent leasing momentum across its diversified portfolio, which spans major commercial hubs such as Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai. The increase in NOI was supported by a combination of higher occupancy levels, rental escalations, and improved operational efficiencies.
The REIT’s well-balanced tenant mix, which includes multinational corporations, global capability centres (GCCs), and leading domestic enterprises, helped ensure stable cash flows. Long-term leases with built-in rental escalations further contributed to income growth during the quarter.
Office Demand Remains Resilient
India’s office market has seen a strong rebound over the past few quarters, led by rising demand from sectors such as technology, BFSI, engineering, consulting, and global shared services. Mindspace REIT has been a key beneficiary of this trend, with increased space take-up from both new and existing tenants.
The continued expansion of global capability centres in India has played a significant role in driving office absorption, particularly in markets like Hyderabad and Pune, where Mindspace REIT has a strong presence. Companies are increasingly prioritising high-quality, sustainable office spaces that offer modern infrastructure and superior workplace amenities—an area where the REIT’s assets are well positioned.
Occupancy and Leasing Momentum
Higher occupancy levels across the portfolio were a major contributor to the year-on-year NOI growth. Mindspace REIT has maintained healthy occupancy rates, supported by proactive leasing strategies and strong tenant relationships.
During the quarter, the REIT witnessed renewed leasing interest from occupiers seeking to consolidate operations or expand their India footprint. Renewals at higher rentals and new leases signed at market-linked rates further strengthened revenue visibility.
Focus on Sustainability and Asset Quality
Mindspace REIT continues to focus on sustainability, ESG compliance, and asset enhancement initiatives, which have become increasingly important for corporate occupiers. Several of the REIT’s office parks are certified green buildings, offering energy-efficient systems, water conservation measures, and employee-friendly designs.
These sustainability-led initiatives not only enhance the attractiveness of assets but also help in reducing operating costs over the long term, positively impacting NOI margins.
Financial Stability and Distributions
The strong growth in operating income reinforces Mindspace REIT’s ability to generate stable and predictable cash flows. The REIT has maintained prudent financial management, with a focus on maintaining healthy leverage levels and ensuring adequate liquidity.
Higher NOI improves the REIT’s capacity to deliver consistent distributions to unitholders, making it an attractive investment option amid ongoing volatility in global markets. Institutional and retail investors continue to view REITs as a stable yield-generating asset class, particularly in a high-interest-rate environment.
