While Delhi's central business district, Connaught Place has broken into the top ten list with commercial space rentals increasing 46 percent during the year to an estimated Rs.423 per square foot a month (or $128 per square foot a year), rentals at financial hub Mumbai's posh Nariman Point have zoomed 60 percent to peak at Rs.546 per sq ft per month (or $166 per square foot a year).

Demand for commercial space in these two cities have made rental prices skyrocket making Nariman Point the 5th most expensive office location in the world (previously ranked 7th) while Connaught Place has broken into the top ten (previously rank 12th).

Surprisingly, these two locations are costlier than the most posh office areas in cities like New York, Washington, San Francisco, Rome, Zurich, Shanghai, Dubai and Frankfurt.

However, Mumbai Central has slipped two places to No.7.

In Gurgaon, a part of National Capital Region (NCR), areas like DLF Phase I and office space on NH-8, witnessed high appreciation of 47 percent with rental price rising to Rs.113 per square foot a month.
