  • ICCPL Foundation Drives Menstrual Health Awareness Through #RahatWithICCPL in NCR

    ICCPL Foundation Drives Menstrual Health Awareness Through #RahatWithICCPL in NCR

    ICCPL Foundation, the CSR arm of ICCPL Group, led a menstrual hygiene awareness and pad distribution drive across Noida and Indirapuram under its #RahatWithICCPL initiative. Starting from International Women’s Day through the auspicious period of Navratri, the effort focused on improving access to sanitary products while promoting safe menstrual practices.

    The drive aimed to address persistent gaps in awareness and accessibility, while discouraging the use of unsafe alternatives. Through direct community engagement, ICCPL Foundation facilitated conversations around menstrual health—a topic that continues to face stigma and limited awareness. Alongside product distribution, the outreach placed emphasis on education as a key enabler of long-term behavioural change.

    Commenting on the initiative, Ambika Saxena, CEO, ICCPL Foundation, said, “For us, initiatives under #RahatWithICCPL are not campaigns; they are commitments we carry forward with intent and empathy. This menstrual health effort was designed to move beyond symbolic observances and focus on consistent, on-ground engagement. Extending from Women’s Day to Navratri, it allowed us to connect two important moments through a shared purpose: supporting women in ways that are practical and relevant. Menstrual hygiene remains an area where awareness and access need to go hand in hand. Through this effort, we aimed to contribute in a small but meaningful way by encouraging informed choices, addressing everyday challenges, and engaging directly with communities where such conversations are still limited.”

    The outreach draws from the essence of Navratri, honouring Shakti not only through devotion, but through actions that support and empower women in their daily lives.

    Under its flagship initiative #RahatWithICCPL, ICCPL Foundation has undertaken several community-led interventions, including a blanket distribution drive for the homeless during winter.

    The Foundation continues to scale such efforts under #RahatWithICCPL, with a focus on strengthening awareness, improving access, and encouraging wider participation from communities and organisations working towards women’s health and dignity.

  • Delhi-NCR Property Market Records 2.5× Surge in Office Leasing in Q3 2025

    Delhi-NCR Property Market Records 2.5× Surge in Office Leasing in Q3 2025

    Delhi-NCR’s commercial real estate market is witnessing a remarkable rebound, with office leasing activity surging 2.5 times in Q3 2025 compared to the previous quarter. As per a Cushman and Wakefield report, net leasing of office spaces jumped 2.5 times to 3.79 million square feet in the third quarter of this calendar year from 1.52 million square feet in the year-ago period. This positioned Delhi-NCR as a major player in the national property market, contributing 23% to the total net leasing of office spaces across the top eight cities during the period.

    The growth is being driven by strong occupier demand from sectors such as IT/ITeS, BFSI, and co-working, as businesses expand operations to accommodate a returning workforce and evolving hybrid models. Gurugram, Noida, and select micro-markets like the Dwarka Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway have emerged as frontrunners, backed by robust infrastructure, improved connectivity, and high-quality supply.

    Besides, the market is also seeing a decisive shift towards quality. Nearly 80% of fresh office space supply in Q3 was Grade-A assets, indicating an appetite for premium, future-ready workspaces.

    *Mr Sanchit Bhutani, Managing Director, Goup 108,says, “Noida and Greater Noida are entering a transformative phase where infrastructure growth and occupier intent are seamlessly aligned. With key developments like the Noida International Airport and the Noida Expressway driving momentum, this region is fast emerging as the next frontier for MNCs and GCCs to establish large-scale operations. The combination of quality supply, cost advantage, and policy stability makes it an ideal destination for future-ready office spaces. As Delhi-NCR continues to draw strong corporate interest on the back of its evolving infrastructure and robust talent ecosystem, Noida–Greater Noida is well poised to become one of the region’s most dynamic and future-focused business hubs—delivering sustained value for both enterprises and investors”

    Moreover, the momentum signals a renewed sense of investor confidence and underscores the region’s growing dominance in India’s commercial real estate landscape. The growing presence of Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and multinational corporations is further driving sustained absorption, especially in emerging corridors with strong connectivity. At the same time, co-working operators are leasing larger floor plates to meet the evolving need for flexibility, collaboration, and hybrid working environments among today’s enterprises.

    Prakash Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, Ocus Group, says:
    “The sharp rebound in office leasing underscores how Gurugram continues to anchor NCR’s commercial story. What we’re witnessing now is not just demand recovery but a structural shift — developers are increasingly repositioning assets toward integrated, mixed-use campuses rather than standalone towers. Occupiers today want ecosystems that blend workspace efficiency with lifestyle convenience. In this context, locations like Dwarka Expressway are emerging as the next growth frontier. Once the metro expansion and expressway become fully operational, the corridor will offer unparalleled connectivity and infrastructure readiness, making it a preferred destination for global occupiers and future-ready developments.”

    Ajendra Singh, Vice President- Sales and Marketing, Spectrum@Metro, says, “The evolution of office spaces in NCR is moving toward environments that go beyond functionality to deliver a complete professional ecosystem. In Noida, we’ve seen growing demand for offices within developments, where accessibility, amenities, and visibility come together seamlessly. The advantage of being in a retail-integrated setting lies in convenience and connectivity — qualities that today’s workforce and occupiers value deeply. For many businesses, this format is proving to be a smarter, more sustainable choice for long-term operations.”

    Therefore, the surge in office leasing during Q3 highlights not just a strong quarter, but a broader shift in Delhi-NCR’s commercial real estate narrative. From Grade-A office towers in Gurugram to emerging corridors along Dwarka Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida, every submarket is contributing to this renewed dynamism.
