The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) continued to witness robust retail leasing activity in the second half of 2025, riding on strong demand for high-street locations amid limited premium mall inventory, stated real estate services company ANAROCK Retail’s flagship report, RELEAP 2026.

Across India’s top seven cities, the total retail absorption stood at approximately 4.3 million square feet (sq ft) in H2 2025, reflecting steady momentum even in a dynamic market environment. In Mumbai, high streets recorded notable rental appreciation in key micro-markets such as Linking Road, Bandra, Lower Parel, and Andheri, amid constrained vacancy levels in premium malls.
