Rating agency ICRA forecasts India's commercial office net absorption in the top six cities will hit a record 69–70 million square feet (msf) in FY2026, pushing vacancy levels down to a historic low of 12–12.5% by March 2027. The demand surge is primarily fueled by GCCs (Global Capability Centres - 40% share) and the BFSI sector, capitalizing on India's cost advantage and making Chennai and Bengaluru the tightest markets.

The Digital Property Card (e Milkat Property Card) is the mandatory electronic document proving property ownership and history, required for loans and sales. It can be obtained by registering on the state's Land Record website, submitting an application with documents (like Aadhaar and Registered Sale Deed), and paying the online fee. The PC includes the Survey Number, area, and dispute history, providing critical information that reduces fraud, though it is legally distinct from the Title Deed.

Land disputes are mainly caused by a lack of knowledge regarding the Khasra Number (plot ID), Khatauni (record of rights), and Bhu Naksha (land map).
