AI isn’t shrinking India’s offices yet; 77% occupiers plan expansion: Report

India’s office market continues to show strong expansion plans even as companies adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and rethink how work gets done. As many as 77% of office occupiers expect their India office portfolio to grow over the next two years, according to CBRE Research’s India Office Occupier Survey 2026.

The finding comes as AI adoption becomes increasingly common among Indian companies. The survey found that 93% of respondents report some stage of AI adoption in their firms. Yet, for most occupiers, AI has not produced a measurable change in office leasing decisions. As many as 57% said AI has had no impact on their firm’s leasing so far.
