GCCs critical enabler of India's $1 trillion services export vision, says senior Deloitte official Romal Shetty
Speaking at the CII GCC Business Summit, Shetty said India currently hosts approximately 1,800 GCCs.
'With the right policy environment, ecosystem support, and coordinated action, there is a realistic aspiration to scale this to 3,400-5,000 centres over the next few years,' he said.
He said 67 per cent of Fortune 500 and 77 per cent of Forbes Global 2000 companies are yet to setup GCCs.
Mid-market companies (USD 100M-USD1B in revenue) contributed to 35 per cent of new GCC setups over the last two years, Shetty asserted.
'This growth could enable the sector to support 20-25 million jobs by 2030--up to 5 million direct, and the remainder through indirect and induced impact across real estate, supply chains,' he said.
'It also holds the potential to unlock an economic contribution of USD 470-600 billion by 2030, factoring in direct output as well as ecosystem-level effects. This would position GCCs as a critical enabler of India's USD 1 trillion services export vision.'
GCCs are also evolving into innovation hubs, he said, adding over 70 per cent of GCCs now focus on digital product development--not just service delivery--necessitating proximity to innovation ecosystems.
Referring to Indian startups as key co-creation partners, he said 1.8 lakh+ startups and 100+ unicorns strengthen the provision of a vibrant innovation pipeline for GCCs to source frontier solutions.
GCCs are offshore facilities set up by multinational corporations to manage a variety of business functions and processes for their parent organisations. (ANI)

Tesla Model Y launches at ₹60L in India: Here's how much it costs worldwide
Tesla officially launched the Model Y in India at ₹60 lakh after years of lobbying for lower import duties Boris Pradhan New Delhi Tesla has officially introduced the Model Y in India, with prices beginning at ₹60 lakh, according to a pricing catalogue released on its website on Tuesday. Indian customers can choose between two variants: Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): ₹60 lakh Model Y Long Range AWD: ₹68 lakh The company is opening its first experience centre in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) today, marking its formal entry into the Indian automotive retail market. Retail sales will be conducted through imported units, with five Model Y vehicles already delivered to Mumbai from Tesla's Shanghai facility. What the Tesla Model Y costs in other countries Here is how the Model Y pricing compares globally (converted to USD where applicable): United States - Rear-Wheel Drive: $44,990 (before any federal tax credits) - Long Range AWD: $46,630 (MSRP) Eligible buyers may receive a $7,500 federal EV tax credit. China - Rear-Wheel Drive: ¥263,500 ($36,430) - Long Range AWD: ¥313,000 ($43,270) Dubai - Rear-Wheel Drive: AED 198,170 ($54,000) - Long Range AWD: AED 239,770 ($65,000) Japan Pricing is approximately ¥5 million ($37,000) Germany Long Range AWD: €45,970 ($50,925) France Tesla has not released a specific price, though it typically aligns with Germany Canada Import duties push prices 10–15 per cent higher than in the US Estimated at CAD 55,000 to 60,000 ($40,000 to $44,000) Brazil Tesla has not officially launched the Model Y in Brazil These prices exclude destination charges, local taxes, registration fees, and incentives, which vary by market. Global pricing could pose a challenge in India The wide pricing gap between India and other key markets may make the Model Y a tough sell in price-sensitive segments. The starting price in India is significantly higher than in China or North America, largely due to import duties and shipping costs. Tesla's strategy will likely depend on how consumers respond to the premium and whether localisation moves forward. Tesla store opens in Mumbai's BKC The electric vehicle manufacturer secured the lease for its Mumbai location in March and has since ramped up hiring while exploring additional sites in New Delhi. Tesla's entry into India has been years in the making, with the company—led by Elon Musk—repeatedly calling for lower import duties. While retail operations are now underway, reports suggest Tesla is currently 'not keen' on producing components domestically.

India sees highest ever office leasing in H1 2025 at 48.9 mn square feet
Office space leasing in India's eight major cities reached 48.9 million square feet in the first half of 2025—marking the highest-ever volume for a six-month period. This rise was primarily fuelled by steady demand from Global Capability Centres (GCCs), renewed interest in third-party IT services, and the growing popularity of flexible workspaces, according to data from Knight Frank India. Grade A offices remain a priority Large companies have been focusing on acquiring high-quality, future-ready Grade A office spaces to support their long-term plans. Bengaluru led the leasing activity, followed by Delhi-NCR and Pune. As demand continues to surpass new supply, vacancy rates have been falling, and rental prices have risen in key markets. This trend reflects strong occupier confidence and suggests that India's commercial office sector is poised for further growth in the latter half of the year. Bengaluru leads with record absorption Bengaluru recorded its highest-ever leasing for a half-year period, absorbing 18.2 million square feet of space. The majority of this—55 per cent—was taken up by GCCs. Notably, 46 per cent of the area leased was through pre-commitments, reflecting robust demand for ready-to-use office spaces and a push from tenants to secure future inventory early. Mixed performance across other metros Only Mumbai and Ahmedabad saw a decline in office leasing volumes in the first half of 2025, largely due to a high base in the previous year. In Mumbai, leasing dropped by 5 per cent to 5.5 million square feet, while Ahmedabad recorded a 51 per cent fall, leasing just 0.8 million square feet between January and June. In contrast, Pune reported a 17 per cent increase, reaching 5.1 million square feet. Delhi-NCR registered a 27.5 per cent growth, touching 7.2 million square feet. Hyderabad followed with a 16 per cent rise to 5.9 million square feet. Chennai saw a notable surge of 68 per cent, also reaching 5.1 million square feet. New completions slow amid developer focus shift New office space completions were recorded at 20.1 million square feet during the first half of 2025, reflecting a 20 per cent drop compared to the same period last year. Developers are gradually shifting their focus back to commercial projects after an extended period of attention on residential developments.
