New Mall Supply Pegged at 16.6 Mn Sft Across Top 7 Cities in CY 2025-26

Mumbai, 13 May 2025: In India’s ongoing golden era of retail expansion, consumer demand and retail real estate supply are on an unprecedented growth trajectory. Rising consumption is driving a surge in new mall supply in Tier 1 over the next two years – latest ANAROCK Research estimates that over 16.6 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A mall supply will enter the top 7 cities over 2025 and 2026.

With a combined 65% share of this supply, Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR will command the lion’s share, underscoring the shift of focus to high-growth consumption hubs. This surge is part of a broader pipeline that could add more than 40 million sq. ft. of retail space by 2029 across major urban centres.

A person in a suit

AI-generated content may be incorrect.Anuj Kejriwal, CEO & MD – ANAROCK Retail, says, “The surge is also prompted by a perceivable shortfall in new supply of Grade A malls across cities. The previous three-year data trends show that new mall supply in the top 7 cities did not match the overall leasing. In 2022, these cities witnessed approx. 2.6 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A retail supply, while leasing clocked in at approx. 3.2 Mn sq. ft. Likewise, 2023 saw 5.3 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A mall supply, while 6.5 Mn sq. ft. were leased.

The demand-supply gap widened further in 20204 due to approvals slowing down because of general and state elections.

“New Grade A mall supply in 20204 was just 1.1 Mn sq. ft., while leasing was 6.5 Mn sq. ft.,” says Kejriwal. “The data speaks for itself.”

While the estimated new supply to some extend raises the spectre of potential oversupply, current absorption trends are reassuring. ANAROCK data pegs total mall leasing over the next two years at >12.6 Mn sq. ft. across the top 7 cities. Both mall developers and retailers are showing resolute confidence, spurred by strong leasing and positive consumer sentiments.

“The strong leasing rate is also prompted by the entry of over 60 international retail brands in India over the last four years across categories like fashion, electronics, lifestyle, & F&B,” adds Kejriwal. “This has accelerated demand for high-grade organized retail spaces, particularly in high-footfall zones like malls and high streets.”

Data also indicates that with demand-supply imbalance of previous years now gradually normalizing, mall vacancy rates in top 7 cities will stabilize over the next two years – at 8.2% in 2025 and 8.5% in 2026. In 2021, the vacancy rate in these cities was as high as 15.5%.

Insatiable Thirst for Consumption

The current retail boom is not limited to urban metros – Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have emerged as the new consumption hotbeds, thanks to rising disposable incomes and deeper smartphone and internet penetration. Ecommerce adoption in these cities has outpaced that of Tier-1 cities – industry estimates peg the share of overall online shopping pie at 65% and predict it to reach 64% by FY 2030. The number of Indian online shoppers has jumped up from 140 Mn in 2020 to nearly 260 Mn in 2024; it is projected to nearly double to 300 Mn by 2030, and to 700 Mn by 2035.

 Parth Jindal, Chairman, JSW One Platforms, said, “JSW One Platforms is more than a marketplace, it’s how India’s MSMEs procure, finance, and grow. We’re solving critical pain points by combining our tech-led distribution model with JSW Group’s strength in manufacturing. We are well-positioned to fulfil the ambitions of India’s expanding MSME sector.”

 Gaurav Sachdeva, Joint Managing Director & CEO, JSW One Platforms, added, “JSW One’s goal is to enable reliable procurement for MSMEs through quality materials, timely delivery, and the right credit solutions. This capital allows us to expand our service network, scale our private brands and NBFC arm, and invest further in tech and logistics. We’re building a supply chain that will continue to add efficiency for MSMEs across India.”

ADbhoot Unveils ‘Holiday Vibes’ – CottonKing’s Bold Leap into Holiday Wear

Mumbai 13th May 2025: The Indian menswear market has been witnessing a significant shift, with consumers increasingly seeking versatile clothing that blends style with comfort. While CottonKing has long been a trusted name in premium cotton formalwear, the growing demand for relaxed, travel-friendly apparel presents a new opportunity. With more men prioritizing leisure and travel experiences, the need for high-quality, breathable, and stylish holiday wear has surged. Recognizing this evolving consumer preference, CottonKing has partnered with Brand Strategist ADbhoot to launch the ‘Holiday Vibes’ campaign, the brand’s first-ever holiday wear collection. This marks a strategic expansion beyond its established formalwear, offering men a sophisticated yet effortless vacation wardrobe.

To celebrate this milestone, ADbhoot has crafted a campaign that’s bursting with energy and holiday vibes—just like a trip with your best friends. It’s fun, carefree, and all about making unforgettable memories, perfectly capturing the spirit of holidays. Inspired by the grand sound of opera, the ad film amplifies the excitement of ‘Holiday Vibes’ with energetic music and the powerful hook, ‘Vibe Hai,’ adding a fun twist to holiday fashion.

Vaibhav Pandit, Founder and Creative Director of ADbhoot, shared his enthusiasm: “This campaign is all about making a statement. CottonKing’s move into holiday wear is a big leap, and we wanted to match that energy with a concept that’s bold, grand, and wildly fun. Opera meets fashion in our crazy, unforgettable campaign.”

Vaibhav Pandit, Founder and Creative Director of ADbhoot, shared his enthusiasm: “With ‘Holiday Vibes,’ we’re not just launching a collection—we’re shaping fresh brand characteristics for CottonKing. This marks a progress from boardroom formals to carefree holiday fashion, where style meets spontaneity. We wanted the campaign to capture that feeling—like a vacation with your closest friends, filled with laughter, energy, and unforgettable moments. It’s about the thrill of breaking free, embracing the vibe, and truly living in the moment. We’re grateful to CottonKing for trusting us with this milestone, giving us the opportunity to bring this vibrant new chapter to life.”

Koushik Marathe, Director of CottonKing, shared his thoughts: “For years, CottonKing has been the go-to brand for men who seek uncompromising comfort in their everyday formals. But as lifestyles evolve, so do wardrobe needs. Today’s men are not just working hard—they’re traveling, unwinding, and embracing experiences with a distinct sense of style. ‘Holiday Vibes’ is our answer to this shift, bringing the same 100% cotton promise to a more relaxed, effortless aesthetic. Stepping into this new category is a milestone for us, and with ADbhoot’s creative brilliance, we’re ensuring the launch carries the excitement, energy, and impact that define both the collection and our brand’s journey forward.”

The campaign is set to make a powerful impact with a strategically designed 360-degree media plan, leveraging IPL on the connected TV, television placements across GEC and news channels, and a strong digital presence on social media. Complementing this, OOH and print will reinforce the brand message across key markets, creating a seamless, multi-platform presence that amplifies ‘Holiday Vibes’ at every touchpoint.

India’s Mother’s Day 2025 Brand Campaigns from Kotak Life, Blue Tribe Foods, Wondrlab, Mahindra Tractors, Morepen, and BML Lead

From Kotak Life’s Viraasat and Wondrlab’s Mom, the Original Influencer to Morepen’s Glow On, Mom!, Blue Tribe’s Plant-Powered Mothers, Mahindra Tractors’ Maa Kehti Hai, and BML Munjal University’s She Taught Me First, these campaigns spotlight the strength, wisdom, and legacy of Indian mothers in 2025

In Mumbai, Kotak Life Insurance partnered with Wondrlab to create a film titled Ma Ki Di Hui Viraasat. The campaign quietly observes what mothers leave behind through routine acts, not grand gestures. It highlights how unspoken lessons shape identity. Ashish Nair, CMO at Kotak Life, described the campaign as a reflection of values passed from one generation to the next. Creators Rahul Chandwani and Bhavesh Kosambia called it a nostalgic process that reconnected them with their own childhoods.

In Mumbai again, Blue Tribe Foods hosted a Mother’s Day event in partnership with AVI Smart Park. The experience was led by Nikki Arora Singh, Co-founder of the plant-based food brand. Children and their mothers explored sustainable eating through puppet shows, live tastings, and educational games. Instead of preaching sustainability, the brand demonstrated how simple changes in diet can help both people and the planet. The guests sampled soya chaap, sweet potato fries, nuggets, and plant-based kebabs while learning how conscious eating fits naturally into family life.

In Gurugram, BML Munjal University released a self-shot film titled She Taught Me First. The video featured students and faculty sharing personal messages about the earliest lessons they received from their mothers. Shadan Raza Ahmed, Head of People and Culture at the university, said the initiative reflected the university’s commitment to values-based education. The film was built around authenticity, reminding viewers that learning begins at home, long before any classroom.

In Bengaluru, Mahindra Tractors launched Ashwamedh, a flagship project within its national campaign Rag Rag Laal Hai. The initiative involved a convoy of six red Mahindra tractors starting from Nagpur and travelling across India. They stopped at over 500 dealerships and farming communities, thanking the people who keep India’s fields alive. Hemant Sikka, President of the Farm Equipment Sector, described it as a campaign rooted in emotion, celebrating not just machines but the families and mothers who support farmers every day.

Morepen Laboratories contributed a wellness-focused tribute. The company spotlighted key products including Omega capsules, multivitamins, biotin, and marine collagen. Nitika Saini, from the communications team, explained that the campaign was about nurturing mothers through science-backed support. It was not a commercial pitch. It was a message that health is an expression of care and that mothers must also be cared for with intention.

These five campaigns offered different expressions of the same truth. That motherhood is legacy, nurturing, resilience, nourishment, and vision. And that honoring it is not about clichés. It is about commitment.
