Bharti Real Estate to Transform Delhi’s Aerocity with ₹20,000 Crore Investment in India’s Largest Commercial Hub
Delhi, India – In a bold move that signals confidence in India’s commercial real estate market, Bharti Real Estate, the realty arm of Sunil Bharti Mittal’s Bharti Enterprises, has announced an ambitious ₹20,000 crore investment plan to develop over 17 million square feet in Delhi’s Aerocity over the next five to six years. This massive undertaking aims to transform the Aerocity area, adjacent to Indira Gandhi International Airport, into a world-class business and retail destination.
The development will unfold in three transformative phases under the company’s flagship Worldmark brand Worldmark 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. These projects are not just about office spaces; they will include high-street retail, sprawling commercial complexes, and what is poised to be India’s largest mall.
“In Worldmark 2.0, we have close to 7 million square feet of leasable area, including retail,” said SK Sayal, MD and CEO of Bharti Real Estate, in an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol. “Of that, around 3.5 million square feet is office space, 3 million is the retail mall, and just under 1 million is high-street retail.”
Already, half of the office space in Worldmark 2.0 has been leased, demonstrating strong demand and early confidence from corporate tenants. This moment suggests that Aerocity’s new commercial identity is being rapidly embraced by businesses seeking premium, well-connected real estate in the capital.
Why Aerocity?
Strategically located near India’s busiest airport, Aerocity offers unmatched connectivity, making it an ideal hub for international business. With global firms expanding their footprint in India, Bharti’s development taps into the rising need for high-quality commercial infrastructure that bridges retail, hospitality, and office space into one seamless ecosystem.
The Rise of Boundaryless Business Districts
Bharti Real Estate’s vision for Aerocity goes beyond traditional commercial real estate. The new Worldmark developments are designed as “boundaryless global business districts” self-sustained hubs that integrate work, leisure, and lifestyle. These districts reflect a modern urban philosophy where business doesn’t end at office doors but blends seamlessly with retail experiences, fine dining, and wellness.
Retail Revolution: India’s Largest Mall in the Making
The jewel in the crown is the planned 3 million square foot retail mall, which is expected to become the largest in the country. It promises to host a mix of luxury and mainstream retail brands, entertainment zones, and culinary hotspots, giving both locals and travelers a retail experience on par with global standards.
A Game-Changer for Delhi NCR Real Estate
This development marks one of the largest commercial real estate projects in Delhi NCR in recent years. With an investment scale rivaling top projects globally, it is poised to not only reshape Delhi’s skyline but also redefine how commercial zones are conceived in urban India.
What’s Next?
As Bharti Real Estate gears up to break ground on Worldmark 3.0 and 4.0, all eyes are on Aerocity. If executed as envisioned, this megaproject could serve as a blueprint for next-generation urban centers dynamic, integrated, and future-ready.
Whether you’re an investor, retailer, or enterprise looking for a premium space in Delhi, the message is clear: Aerocity is about to become the city’s most sought-after address.
