Our NOI grew by a robust 9.2% driven by our rising rents and growing occupancy.
This healthy leasing, especially at our Navi Mumbai Parks post the SEZ policy reform, has encouraged us to prepone the future development at our Airoli East Park. We plan to build an additional 1.5 million square feet at Mindspace Airoli East to meet the demand over the next 3-4 years.
This, alongside our ongoing projects totalling 4.4 million square feet and the potential lease up of 2.3 msf vacant space, positions us for significant growth ahead.”
