Pre-Leased Bank Branch — Connaught Place, New Delhi | Commercial Property
A rare pre-leased commercial asset at the heart of India's most iconic business address — Middle Circle, Connaught Place, New Delhi. Indian Overseas Bank, a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), occupies the ground floor unit on a fresh 10-year lease registered in May 2026, delivering ₹7,60,000 per month from day one. For investors seeking government-backed rental income in a zero-vacancy micro-market, this is a trophy acquisition.
Connaught Place remains one of the most supply-constrained commercial micro-markets in India — ground floor space here commands a permanent premium and has never depreciated in value. With a Public Sector Bank (Indian Overseas Bank) as the anchor tenant on a fresh 10-year registered lease, this asset eliminates the two biggest risks in commercial real estate: vacancy and payment default. The 15% escalation clause at Year 5 further protects the investor against inflation, while the 6% entry yield provides immediate, recurring cash flow from the date of handover. For investors seeking a no-management, government-backed income asset in a trophy location, this is among the most defensible allocations available in the NCR market today.
- India's zero-vacancy address — Connaught Place has maintained near-100% occupancy for decades; ground floor vacancies here are absorbed within weeks
- Premium rentals, permanent demand — CP commands the highest ground-floor retail rents in Delhi; the market has never corrected significantly
- PSU tenant = sovereign-grade security — Indian Overseas Bank is owned by the Government of India; rental default is virtually impossible

- Registered lease — legally binding from 18th May 2026, enforceable with full security of tenure
- Capital appreciation certainty — CP real estate has outpaced broader Delhi residential and commercial markets over every 5-year cycle on record
