State Bank of India has leased 1.34 lakh sq ft of office space in Navi Mumbai’s Airoli for its Global Capability Centre under a five-year lease agreement at a monthly rent of ₹1.68 crore, documents accessed by Propstack showed.

The lease rent is ₹125.05 per sq ft per month, translating to a total monthly rental of ₹1.68 crore, inclusive of rent and fit-outs. The agreement includes a 15% escalation clause upon renewal after five years, and the bank paid a security deposit of ₹10.11 crore, according to documents.

“The lease of over 1.34 lakh sq. ft. at Newa Bhakti Knowledge City by State Bank of India (GITC) underscores the continued preference for Airoli as a primary hub for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in the MMR. This long-term commitment, starting at approximately ₹125 per sq. ft. (inclusive of fit-outs), reflects robust demand for high-quality IT infrastructure to support large-scale digital banking operations. It is a clear indicator that institutional tenants are prioritizing consolidated, ready-to-use spaces to drive their technological mandates,” said Raja Seetharaman, co-founder Propstack.
