Mindspace REIT Partners with Global Network for Zero (GNFZ) to Transition Entire Portfolio to a Net-Zero Certification Pathway

~ Reaffirms Commitment to Achieve Net-Zero Emissions by 2042 ~
~ Among India’s Largest Portfolio-level Decarbonisation Initiatives ~

New Delhi, April 24, 2026: Mindspace Business Parks REIT (BSE: 543217 | NSE: MINDSPACE) (“Mindspace REIT”), owner of quality Grade A office portfolio located in 4 key office markets of India, has partnered with Global Network for Zero (GNFZ) to transition its entire ~39 million sq. ft. portfolio1 to a net-zero certification pathway. This marks one of the largest portfolio-level decarbonisation efforts in India’s commercial real estate sector.

GNFZ is an internationally recognised authority on net-zero certification, distinguished by its rigorous, data-driven standards. Partnering with GNFZ reinforces Mindspace REIT’s sustainability strategy by anchoring its net-zero journey in globally recognised climate benchmarks and verifiable emission pathways.

The partnership moves Mindspace REIT from building-level certifications to a unified, portfolio-wide net-zero certification. This is aligned with global benchmarks, enabling a structured shift to low-carbon operations through data-driven decarbonisation, renewable energy adoption, and stronger tenant collaboration.

As part of this engagement, Mindspace REIT and GNFZ will develop a comprehensive decarbonisation roadmap covering:

·         Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources)

·         Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased energy)

·         Scope 3 emissions (emissions across the value chain, including tenants and suppliers)

This will enable centralised energy tracking, accelerate renewable integration, and drive coordinated action across assets and occupiers.

Commenting on the achievement, Ramesh Nair, CEO and MD, K Raheja Corp Investment Managers Private Limited, said, “Sustainability, for us, has always been about action, not announcements. When we set our net-zero target for 2042, we committed to backing it with real, measurable steps across every asset we own. This partnership with GNFZ does exactly that – it puts our entire portfolio on a clear, accountable path to net zero. Our tenants, investors, and partners deserve to see not just where we are headed, but how we plan to get there. We have always believed in walking the talk, and this is another step in that direction.”

Mahesh Ramanujam, President & CEO, GNFZ, added: “India has an opportunity to lead the next chapter of global real estate decarbonisation, and this collaboration with Mindspace REIT sets a powerful precedent for the market. By committing an entire high-quality portfolio to a structured net-zero pathway, the REIT is not only raising the bar within India but also demonstrating global leadership in how real estate owners can scale climate action. This initiative reflects the direction the industry must take, moving beyond individual assets to portfolio-wide transformation, and positions Mindspace REIT among the most forward-looking real estate platforms globally.”

Mindspace REIT has consistently demonstrated strong ESG performance alongside stable operational metrics. As of FY2025, it has reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 32.2% and increased renewable energy usage to 40.2%. The REIT has also maintained a 5-star GRESB rating for three consecutive years. It is targeting net-zero emissions by 2042 and has joined RE100, committing to 100% renewable electricity by 2050.

RBI Holds Repo Rate at 5.25%; Realty Industry Sees Stability as Growth Driver The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and retain its ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance in the third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of FY27 has elicited a measured response from the real estate industry. While the sector had hoped for a rate cut to further enhance home loan affordability and stimulate housing demand, industry leaders believe the RBI’s decision reflects a balanced approach amid elevated global uncertainties, volatile energy prices, and inflationary concerns. They noted that stable interest rates will continue to support buyer confidence, provide financial predictability for developers, and sustain the momentum witnessed in the residential real estate market. Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% while retaining a neutral stance reflects a prudent approach amid global uncertainties and evolving inflation dynamics. While the industry was hopeful of a rate cut, policy stability itself provides confidence to both developers and homebuyers. With borrowing costs remaining unchanged, housing demand is expected to continue its momentum, particularly in the mid-income and premium segments. The upward revision of India’s GDP growth projection to 6.7% underscores the resilience of the domestic economy. Going forward, as inflation moderates in line with the RBI’s expectations, there could be room for a more accommodative monetary policy. A future rate cut would further improve housing affordability, strengthen buyer sentiment, and accelerate investments across the residential and commercial real estate sectors.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged brings continuity and predictability to the market at a time when global geopolitical developments and inflationary pressures continue to create uncertainty. Stable interest rates ensure that home loan EMIs remain broadly unchanged, allowing prospective buyers to make informed purchasing decisions without concerns over rising borrowing costs. The Indian housing market has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past few years, supported by strong end-user demand, rising incomes, and growing confidence in the economy. With GDP growth projected at 6.7%, we expect housing demand to remain healthy across key micro-markets.” Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate is a balanced move considering the current global economic environment and domestic inflation outlook. Policy stability is particularly important for the real estate sector as it enables developers to plan projects with greater financial certainty while allowing buyers to benefit from stable lending rates. Demand for quality residential & commercial developments, especially in well-connected urban locations, is expected to remain robust. We remain optimistic that supportive monetary measures in the future could further strengthen investment activity.” Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers “The RBI has adopted a measured and responsible approach by maintaining the repo rate while closely monitoring inflationary trends and global developments. Although a rate cut would have enhanced affordability for homebuyers, the decision to maintain stability provides confidence to both consumers and developers in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The premium and luxury housing segments continue to witness healthy demand driven by aspirational buyers and strong wealth creation, while the broader residential market remains supported by genuine end-user demand. Stable financing costs, coupled with India’s improving growth outlook, should sustain market momentum.” Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects its focus on balancing growth with inflation management amidst ongoing global uncertainties. For the real estate sector, policy continuity is a positive outcome as it preserves financial stability and ensures that financing conditions remain predictable for both developers and homebuyers. Stable interest rates, combined with sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, will continue to support residential sales.”
