Apple Opens First Store in Noida at DLF Mall of India, Signs ₹65 Crore Lease for 11 Years

Apple is set to open its first retail store in Noida on December 11, marking the company’s fifth official Apple Store in India and its second in the Delhi NCR region after Saket. The new outlet is located at DLF Mall of India, one of the country’s largest and most prominent shopping destinations.

According to sublease documents accessed by CRE Matrix, Apple India Private Ltd has leased 8,240.78 sq ft of retail space at the mall for 11 years. The total rental outgo over the full tenure stands at approximately ₹65 crore, reflecting a long-term commitment to the market.

Lease Details

The documents show that Apple has leased six ground-floor retail units at DLF Mall of India, together comprising 8,240.78 sq ft of carpet area. The agreed rental stands at ₹263.15 per sq ft per month. This translates to a monthly rent of around ₹45.3 lakh and an annual rent of about ₹5.4 crore.

Additionally, the lease includes a one-year rent-free period. It also features a 15% rent escalation every three years. Over the full 11-year tenure, the total rent aggregates to ₹64.9 crore. Apple India Private Ltd and Paliwal Real Estate Limited signed the sublease deed on February 25, 2025.

Meanwhile, queries have been sent to Apple India, DLF, and Paliwal Real Estate Limited. The story will be updated if responses are received.

Strengthening Apple’s NCR Presence

With this launch, Apple strengthens its footprint in the Delhi NCR region. The Noida outlet follows the Saket store that opened in 2023. Retail experts say the move signals Apple’s growing confidence in Noida as a high-consumption and high-growth market.

Although rents for smaller stores at DLF Mall of India typically range between ₹500 and ₹700 per sq ft, larger-format stores enjoy pricing advantages. Due to scale and negotiation leverage, brands like Apple secure lower effective rentals. Experts also note that Apple’s Noida rent aligns closely with its Saket store, reinforcing consistency in its leasing approach.

Location Advantage and Catchment

DLF Mall of India spans nearly one million sq ft, making it Noida’s largest mall. It is also more than twice the size of Select Citywalk, Saket. Importantly, it remains the only retail centre of this scale and category in the region.

As a result, the Noida store benefits from a wide regional catchment. This includes Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, South Delhi, Agra, Mathura, and several emerging demand hubs.

Brand Pull Reflected in Leasing Strategy

According to industry observers, Apple’s rental levels reflect more than just location quality. They also highlight the strong footfalls and brand value that Apple brings to large-format malls. In turn, the Noida lease enhances DLF Mall of India’s position as a marquee retail destination in North India.

Overall, with the Noida opening, Apple continues its measured and data-driven retail expansion in India. The strategy balances prime locations, uniform store formats, and long-term lease commitments across key urban markets.

Global real estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants India (JLL) has leased 1.21 lakh sq ft of office space at Prestige Skytech – Sky One in Poppalguda, Gandipet mandal, Hyderabad. The deal highlights growing confidence in the city’s western office corridor.

According to property registration data accessed from CRE Matrix, JLL leased the space from Mrs. Prahathi Madhu at a starting monthly rent of ₹64.13 lakh. The agreement was registered on November 28, 2025, with a security deposit of ₹3.85 crore.

Mahindra Logistics Locks 3.28 Lakh Sq Ft Lease in Telangana

Mahindra Logistics Telangana warehouse lease

Mahindra Logistics Ltd (MLL) continues to accelerate its nationwide growth strategy in 2025, with a clear focus on strengthening its presence beyond traditional metro markets. According to documents accessed by CRE Matrix, MLL has leased 3.28 lakh sq ft of warehousing space in Siddipet, Telangana. The move reflects a calculated push toward emerging industrial corridors and fast-growing Tier-II and Tier-III locations.

The warehousing facility has been leased from Sri Aditya Industrial Logistics Park Private Limited and is located at Baswapuram, Kothur (Mulugu Mandal), Siddipet district. According to lease documents, the agreement spans 60 months, with Mahindra Logistics committing to a monthly rental of ₹6.89 crore. 

This transaction reinforces MLL’s ambition to build a pan-India logistics network that goes beyond established metro hubs. With manufacturing and consumption dispersing into smaller cities, Siddipet’s strategic location offers proximity to growing industrial clusters and improved regional connectivity across Telangana.

Part of a Larger Expansion Playbook

The Siddipet lease is not an isolated transaction but part of an aggressive expansion cycle by Mahindra Logistics throughout 2025. In January, the company leased 4.75 lakh sq ft of warehouse space near Khed, Pune, under a five-year agreement valued at nearly ₹73 crore. Shortly after, MLL added almost 4 lakh sq ft of warehousing capacity in the Northeast, covering key markets such as Guwahati and Agartala.

In another major move, April 2025 saw the logistics major secure a long-term lease for 4.75 lakh sq ft near Kolkata’s Howrah district, one of the largest logistics leasing transactions in eastern India this year. Collectively, these deals reflect a deliberate effort to diversify MLL’s warehousing and distribution footprint across multiple regions — Telangana in the south, Maharashtra in the west, Assam and Tripura in the northeast, and West Bengal in the east.

Riding the I&L Real Estate Upswing

Mahindra Logistics’ expansion comes at a time when India’s industrial and logistics (I&L) real estate sector is witnessing record demand. According to CBRE South Asia, leasing activity across the top eight Indian cities touched 37 million sq ft during January–September 2025, marking a 28% year-on-year growth.

The momentum has been powerful in the first half of 2025, with leasing volumes reaching an all-time high of 27.1 million sq ft. Demand continues to be driven by third-party logistics (3PL) players, e-commerce firms, manufacturing companies, and consumer goods enterprises scaling up their supply-chain infrastructure.

While established hubs such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad still dominate leasing volumes, Tier-II and Tier-III markets are rapidly gaining traction. This structural shift toward geographically diversified warehousing is reshaping India’s logistics landscape — a trend that Mahindra Logistics appears keen to capitalize on.

The Bigger Picture

The Siddipet warehouse lease underscores Mahindra Logistics’ long-term confidence in India’s evolving supply-chain ecosystem. By aligning its growth strategy with emerging consumption centers and industrial belts, the company is positioning itself to serve clients more efficiently while future-proofing its logistics network in a decentralizing economy.

WeWork Leases 1.76 Lakh Sq Ft at Skyview 20

In one of Hyderabad’s biggest office deals this year, WeWork India has leased 1,75,953 sq ft at Skyview 20 in Hitech City, Madhapur. The space was immediately sub-leased to JP Morgan Services India Pvt Ltd, as confirmed by documents accessed by CRE Matrix.

The master lease between Mahanga Commercial Properties and WeWork, and the sub-lease between WeWork and JP Morgan, were both registered in November 2025. The back-to-back execution highlights the rapid uptake of premium offices in Hyderabad’s technology corridor.

WeWork has taken the space on a 60-month lease with a starting monthly rent of ₹1.72 crore. The security deposit is ₹10.34 crore. The area covers two floors—501 and 601 and includes 176 parking slots. The handover was done on 1 July 2025, followed by a four-month fit-out and rent-free period. With rent fixed at ₹98 per sq ft, the deal signals WeWork’s strong push into the Hyderabad market. It also reflects the city’s rapidly growing demand for flexible workspaces.

On 13 November 2025, WeWork sub-leased the entire area to JP Morgan at a significantly higher monthly rent of ₹4.38 crore. The agreement comes with a security deposit of ₹25.97 crore. JP Morgan will occupy the same floors, fitted with 1,501 desks as part of a managed office solution. The sub-lease runs for 60 months with a 24-month lock-in and a 5 percent annual rent escalation. Fit-out charges were set at ₹3,540 per sq ft, and the handover was done on 15 November 2025.

The sharp rent spread from ₹98 per sq ft in WeWork’s lease to ₹249 per sq ft in JP Morgan’s sub-lease shows the premium commanded by fully built, high-quality managed offices. It also highlights how global firms are increasingly opting for ready-to-move, service-backed workspaces over traditional bare-shell leases.

Skyview 20, located along Hitech City Main Road, remains one of Hyderabad’s most sought-after Grade-A office destinations. Its strong connectivity, modern infrastructure, and proximity to major IT hubs continue to draw multinational banks, tech companies, and enterprise occupiers. Additionally, the WeWork–JP Morgan deal further elevates its position as a top-tier commercial asset in the city.
