We will not update or revise any of our forward-looking statements, regardless of new information, future events, or other factors.

Indian Economic Overview

The global economic environment during FY26 was characterised by moderate growth, easing inflationary pressures and evolving monetary policy conditions across major economies. While geopolitical uncertainties and trade disruptions continued to influence global markets, resilient domestic demand across emerging economies helped sustain overall economic stability. Against this backdrop, Indias economy continued to demonstrate strong resilience, supported by sustained expansion in consumption, investment and services. Real GDP is estimated to grow by 7.4% in FY26, compared with 6.5% in FY25. Nominal GDP is projected to reach Rs 357.14 Lakh Cr, reflecting broad-based growth across economic activity. The services sector remains the primary engine of growth. Financial, real estate and professional services are expected to expand by 9.9%, while trade, hospitality and communication services are projected to grow by 7.5%. The sector now contributes over 56% of Gross Value Added, highlighting Indias continued structural shift towards a services-led economy supported by urbanisation, digitalisation and the expansion of knowledge-based industries. Investment and consumption indicators remain strong. Private consumption is projected to grow by 7.0%, reflecting stable domestic demand and improving urban economic activity. Gross fixed capital formation is expected to increase by 7.8%, supported by infrastructure development, capacity expansion and sustained public capital expenditure. Industrial momentum also remains steady, with manufacturing and construction projected to grow by around 7.0%, reinforcing the broader investment cycle. Macroeconomic conditions remain supportive, aided by calibrated fiscal and monetary policies, stable liquidity conditions and ongoing structural reforms aimed at strengthening long-term growth drivers. Corporate earnings are expected to grow by approximately 14-15% over FY27, supported by improving demand and rising activity across financials, capital goods, real estate and consumption-linked sectors. Supported by favourable structural drivers, policy support and sustained investment momentum, India remains well positioned to maintain its growth trajectory over the medium to long term.

Indian Office Market Overview

Indias office real estate market continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals, supported by sustained occupier demand and the countrys growing position as a global business hub. Gross leasing volumes are expected to remain above 80 MSF annually, with net absorption projected at 54-56 MSF in 2026, reflecting steady expansion across key occupier sectors. Supply additions are expected to reach 59-61 MSF, with nearly half comprising premium Grade A+ developments, indicating a structural shift towards higher-quality assets. Despite new completions, vacancy levels are expected to remain stable at around 14%, highlighting the markets strong absorption capacity and balanced supply-demand dynamics. Office rentals have also strengthened, supported by tightening vacancy levels and sustained occupier demand across major commercial markets.

Key Market Trends

GCCs Solidify Position as the Primary Engine of Office Demand

Global Capability Centres (GCCs) continue to be the cornerstone of the Indian office market, accounting for a significant 37.7% share of gross leasing in 2025. These entities leased over 31 MSF during the year, representing the highest volume ever recorded. The momentum is increasingly diversified, with the BFSI and manufacturing sectors driving expansion alongside the technology sector. With approximately 200 new GCCs entering India over the past two years and these organisations currently representing nearly 50% of all active space requirements, the long-term demand for high-quality institutional space remains exceptionally robust.

Shift towards Grade A+ Assets

Occupiers are increasingly prioritising high-quality, future-ready office spaces, with nearly 50% of upcoming supply expected to come from Grade A+ developments. Rising pre-commitments and tightening vacancy across prime micro-markets highlight strong demand for premium assets. This shift underscores a structural move towards institutional-quality developments.

Tightening Vacancy and Rental Appreciation

Sustained demand has pushed Pan-India vacancy to a five-year low of 15.2%, with core submarkets experiencing tight, single-digit availability. This limited supply of premium space has accelerated rental growth across all major cities, led by double-digit growth in markets like Hyderabad. Institutional landlords continue to command significant premiums for assets offering superior quality and tenant amenities.

Intensifying Flight-to-Quality

As ‘in-office mandates become standard, rising occupancy levels are creating a space crunch in existing portfolios, triggering widespread expansion. Occupiers are increasingly prioritising high-quality, future-ready Grade A assets to accommodate this footprint growth. Total Grade A inventory is projected to surpass the 1 Bn sq ft milestone by mid-2027 to meet this evolving institutional demand.

Broadening Occupier Base

The market is witnessing an increasingly diversified occupier mix as manufacturing, industrial, and BFSI sectors expand their footprints alongside the technology sector. In 2025, these non-tech segments achieved nearly equal market shares, contributing to a more balanced and resilient demand profile. This broad-based participation reduces cyclical risks and reinforces the long-term stability of the institutional office sector.

Outlook

Indias office real estate market is expected to sustain its strong growth momentum, supported by the continued expansion of Global Capability Centres, a rising multinational occupier presence, and the increasing adoption of flexible workplace strategies. Supply additions are expected to remain measured relative to demand, with a growing share of premium Grade A+ developments enhancing overall asset quality. Stable vacancy levels, sustained rental growth, and rising institutional participation are expected to further strengthen market fundamentals. Increasing investment activity, along with greater participation from institutional developers and listed platforms, is also improving market transparency and capital formation. Supported by favourable structural drivers, strong demand visibility, and Indias growing global economic importance, the office market remains well positioned for sustained long-term growth.

Mindspace REIT Overview

We are one of Indias leading office REIT platforms, owning and operating a diversified portfolio of Grade A business parks and office assets across the Mumbai region, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai. As of March 31, 2026, our portfolio comprised 39.3 MSF of leasable area, including 32 MSF of completed area, 5.4 MSF of under construction area and 1.9 MSF of future development area, with a WALE of 7.2 years. On pro forma basis our portfolio size increased to 44.4 MSF (including 2 assets acquired in Chennai post March 31, 2026). Our portfolio is anchored by institutional sponsorship and a fully integrated operating model, enabling consistent asset quality and performance across markets. Backed by the K Raheja Corp Group, we benefit from deep development expertise, a strong market presence and in-house facility management capabilities. This foundation is complemented by a diversified and high-quality tenant base of over 284 marquee occupiers, with GCCs and multinational corporations forming a significant share of occupancy. Together, these strengths position us to drive sustainable growth, with a long-term strategy focused on:

- Driving leasing momentum and rental reversion across existing assets

- Pursuing value-accretive acquisitions in high-entry-barrier micro-markets

- Executing disciplined development, including selective expansion into data centres with long lock-in structures

Operational Performance

The portfolio demonstrated strong operating momentum during the year, supported by sustained demand for Grade A assets and disciplined leasing execution.

Leasing and Occupancy

Gross leasing during FY26 stood at 7.1 MSF, with re-leasing spreads of 31.8% on 4.2 MSF and average rent for area leased at 90 PSF per month. Committed occupancy (excluding Pocharam) was approximately 95.7% as of March 31, 2026. In-place rent increased to approximately 80.4 PSF per month, reflecting continued mark-to-market capture, particularly across Hyderabad and other core micro-markets.

Tenant Profile

We host a diversified portfolio of global and domestic occupiers across sectors such as technology, financial services, engineering, consulting and emerging enterprise segments. This balanced tenant base enhances our portfolio resilience while supporting stable, long-term leasing visibility across our Grade A office campuses. GCCs continue to be a key driver of demand across our portfolio, reflecting Indias growing role as a global hub for technology, research and shared services. Alongside GCCs, we host a strong base of multinational corporations and leading domestic enterprises. This reinforces our positioning as a preferred platform for global occupiers establishing or expanding their India presence. Our portfolio includes 284 marquee tenants spanning global technology firms, financial institutions, engineering companies and new-age enterprises. This diversified tenant mix helps mitigate concentration risks while supporting consistent occupancy across key office markets.

Portfolio Expansion and Development

During FY26, we continued to strengthen our portfolio through strategic acquisitions and development initiatives across key office markets. We acquired prime commercial assets in Mumbais CBD and Pune, along with The Square 110 in the Financial District in Hyderabad, adding a combined leasable area of approximately 1.6 MSF and further strengthening our presence in high-entry-barrier micro-markets. We also maintain a strong growth pipeline with approximately 7.1 MSF of development potential, alongside vacant area lease-up opportunities of around 1.4 MSF (excluding Pocharam) across our existing portfolio. In addition, ongoing SEZ-to-Non-Processing Area (NPA) conversions across select assets provide us with greater flexibility to cater to evolving tenant demand while unlocking incremental revenue potential. Together, these initiatives position us to capture future growth driven by the continued expansion of GCCs and sustained demand for high-quality office spaces across Indias leading commercial hubs.

Outlook

The Indian office market is also witnessing a clear ‘flight to quality, with occupiers increasingly favouring well-located, campus-style developments that offer strong infrastructure and integrated workplace environments. Against this backdrop, GCCs continue to account for a significant share of leasing activity and contribute meaningfully to our occupancy. This structural demand positions us to benefit from stable, long-term leasing across our portfolio. At the same time, our strong operational performance, reflected in record committed occupancy levels and healthy leasing spreads, further strengthens our ability to capture mark-to-market rental upside across key micro-markets. Looking ahead, our growth strategy will be anchored in a balanced approach that combines accretive acquisitions with a robust development pipeline. Ongoing developments across key assets, along with our recent acquisitions in strategic CBD markets such as Mumbai and Hyderabad, are expected to enhance both the quality and scale of our portfolio while supporting long-term income growth. Importantly, our disciplined capital structure and healthy balance sheet headroom provide the flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities as they arise.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The ‘Material Accounting Policies section on pages 419 to 436 of the Annual Report outlines our key accounting policies.

4. Key Components of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss

Our revenue from operations comes from the following key sources:

- Facility rentals

- Income from maintenance services

- Revenue from works contract services

- Revenue from power distribution

- Other operating income

Facility Rentals

Facility rentals comprise base rentals from our properties, income from car parking and other services, and certain Ind AS adjustments for lease straight-lining and security deposit discounting:

- Base Rentals: Represent rental income from leasing our assets

- Income from Car Parking and Others: Primarily includes revenue from car parking, kiosks, signage, ATMs, promotional events, and similar sources

Income from Maintenance Services

We derive this income from tenants for Common Area Maintenance (CAM) services, as outlined in their agreements. It also includes revenue from CAM services provided to third parties within our assets, where applicable.

Revenue from Works Contract Services

This includes earnings from construction services tailored to customer specifications.

Revenue from Power Distribution

We generate this income by supplying power to tenants within the notified SEZ, following tariff regulations set by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).

Other Operating Income

Our other operating income mainly includes:

- Interest Income from Finance Leases: Includes interest from fit-out rentals classified as finance leases, where the lessee takes on most risks and rewards of ownership

- Sale of surplus construction materials and scrap

- Compensation Received from Customers

Interest and Other Income

We earn interest income from:

- Fixed deposits with banks

- Electricity deposits

- Income tax refunds

- Fair value gain through profit and loss for investment

- Write back of liabilities

- Other miscellaneous sources

Expenses

Our key expenses include:

- Power purchase costs

- Employee benefit expenses

- Management fees

- Other expenses

- Finance costs

- Depreciation and amortisation expenses

Power Purchase Costs

This includes expenses for power procurement, transmission charges, and other costs related to supplying power to tenants within the notified SEZ.

Employee Benefit Expenses

These primarily include salaries and wages, provident fund and other fund contributions, gratuity, compensated absences, and staff welfare expenses.

Management Fees

This is the fee paid to the Manager for property management services. It is net of employee expenses directly incurred by the Asset SPVs, as per the property management and support services agreement. It also includes investment management fee paid by the REIT to Manager for investment management services.

Other Expenses

Other expenses primarily include:

- Repairs and maintenance, property tax, insurance and security expenses, electricity, water, and diesel charges

- Business and project support fees paid to KRC groups entities

- Rates and taxes

- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenses

- Expenses for assets written off or demolished

- Revenue share, business promotion, miscellaneous expenses, provisions for unbilled revenue, legal and professional fees and advertisement expenses

Earnings Before Finance Costs, Depreciation, Amortisation, Regulatory Income/Expense, Exceptional Items, and Tax (EBITDA)

We prioritise clarity and transparency in financial reporting. To achieve this, we present earnings before finance costs, depreciation, amortisation, regulatory income/expense, exceptional items, and tax as a separate line item in the statement of profit and loss. EBITDA reflects net profit before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortisation, and exceptional items. However, Ind AS 114 (Regulatory Deferral Accounts) requires movements in all regulatory deferral account balances to be presented separately from other income and expenses. Therefore, in the Consolidated Financial Statements, we disclose these movements separately in the statement of profit and loss. Specifically, they appear after the line item ‘Profit before rate-regulated activities, exceptional items and tax and do not form part of EBITDA.

Finance Costs

Finance costs primarily include:

- Interest expenses mainly on borrowings from banks, financial institutions, debentures, and bonds

- Unwinding of interest expenses on security deposits

- Other finance charges

We capitalise borrowing costs related to under-construction properties. After completion, we add interest costs to the statement of profit and loss, increasing finance costs.

Depreciation and Amortisation Expenses

These expenses cover the depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and investment property, as well as the amortisation of intangible and right-of-use assets.

Regulatory Income/Expense

As a deemed power distribution licensee in the SEZ, certain Asset SPVs charge tenants tariffs that are pre-approved by MERC. Under the Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) regulations, tariff petitions are submitted for each control period based on projected expenses and revenue. MERC reviews these projections and approves the applicable tariffs. Subsequently, audited accounts are submitted for the truing-up process. During truing-up, MERC compares the actual expenses and revenue with the previously approved figures and adjusts future tariffs accordingly. These adjustments, recorded as the ‘impact on account of true-up, are recognised in the financial statements as regulatory income or expense.

Tax Expense

Our tax expenses include:

1. Current tax

2. Deferred tax charges (net)

Companies can opt for a concessional tax rate of 25.17% (including cess and surcharge) under the Indian Income Tax Act. To qualify, they must meet specific conditions, such as foregoing other tax incentives and using MAT credits (New Tax Regime). As of 31 March 2026, we have not opted for the New Tax Regime. We continue to discharge tax liabilities under the existing tax regime, except in the case of Mack Soft Tech Private Limited, an asset SPV of Mindspace REIT, which has opted for the New Tax Regime.

Distributions

Our Net Distributable Cash Flow (NDCF) comes from the cash flows generated by the assets and investments of Mindspace REIT. As per REIT regulations, at least 90% of the NDCF from each Asset SPV must be distributed to Mindspace REIT. This distribution is made in proportion to the REITs shareholding in the respective Asset SPVs, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. We receive this NDCF in multiple forms, including dividends, interest income and principal loan repayments. It may also be received through capital reductions and buybacks from Asset SPVs, or through proceeds from the sale of investments or assets directly held by Mindspace REIT. Additionally, NDCF may be received in any other form permitted under REIT regulations.

The Manager is obligated to distribute at least 90% of the NDCF to unitholders as REIT distributions. These distributions are made on a quarterly basis. The first distribution was made for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, following the listing of the REITs units. In line with REIT regulations, distributions are ensured within 15 days of declaration.

FY26 Total Distribution

Rs 15,164 Mn

Translating to Rs 24.09 per Unit

Tax Implications of Distributions

Under Section 115UA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, income distributed by a REIT is taxed in the hands of unitholders in the same manner and proportion as the underlying income we receive or accrue.

Taxability of Income Based on Residential Status

Residential Status of Unitholders Nature of Income Tax Rates
Resident Unitholders Interest At Applicable Rates*
Rental At Applicable Rates*
Return of Capital To be Adjusted from Cost of Acquisition of Units**
Qualified Dividend Tax-exempt (Refer to the Note below)
Disqualified Dividend At Applicable Rates* (Refer to the Note below)
Other Income Taxable in the Hands of the REIT Tax-exempt
Non-Resident Unitholders Interest 5%+ +
Rental At Applicable Rates**
Qualified Dividend Tax-exempt (Refer to the Note below)
Disqualified Dividend At Applicable Rates** (Refer to the Note below)
Other Income Taxable in the Hands of the REIT Tax-exempt

*Income is subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)

**Non-resident unitholders may benefit from favourable tax provisions under applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA)

*** Such distributions shall not be taxable in the hands of Unitholders till the cumulative amount of such distributions exceeds issue price of Unit (refer Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act 1961) and shall be reduced from the cost of acquisition as per Section 48 of the Income Tax Act 1961

++ Tax rates are subject to applicable surcharge and cess

Note: The taxability of dividend income from the REIT depends on the taxation regime chosen by distributing SPV(s). If the SPV has opted for the concessional corporate tax rate under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act (qualifying SPV), the dividend qualifies as Qualified Dividend and is exempt from tax for unitholders. Any other dividend is a Disqualified Dividend and is taxable in the hands of unitholders.

Human Resources

We remain committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and people-centric ecosystem that prioritises the wellbeing of employees, tenants, and the broader community. Our continued focus on building an empowering workplace culture has earned us the ‘Great Place to Work certification for the 5th consecutive year, reflecting our sustained efforts to create an environment where individuals can thrive. To further strengthen this culture, we continue to advance inclusion and employee engagement through structured initiatives such as the SHEROES leadership programme, the WeCare platform, and the Pride Side Policy, which promote diversity, equity, and equal opportunity across the organisation. These initiatives are complemented by ESG awareness programmes and organisation-wide engagement efforts that reinforce responsible practices while strengthening alignment with our sustainability goals. Our progress is also reflected in improved diversity metrics, including increased representation of women in leadership roles. At the same time, employee wellbeing remains central to our philosophy. Initiatives such as Reach Out provide access to mental health and wellbeing resources, ensuring employees are supported both professionally and personally. In parallel, we continue to enhance tenant and employee experiences across our business parks through curated engagement programmes, cultural events, and the introduction of vibrant social and recreational infrastructure. The development of premium experience centres, lifestyle amenities, and community-focused spaces further reflects our commitment to creating dynamic, experience-driven workplaces that support collaboration, wellbeing, and productivity. Through these ongoing and evolving initiatives, we are strengthening our position as an employer and partner of choice while fostering a future-ready ecosystem that supports sustainable growth and long-term value creation.

Internal Control Systems

At Mindspace, we have established robust internal control systems aligned with the scale, complexity, and nature of our operations. These systems enable effective management of business processes, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance, while providing reasonable assurance on the accuracy and reliability of financial and operational information. In doing so, they help prevent fraud, safeguard assets, ensure proper authorisation of transactions, and maintain adherence to internal policies and applicable laws. To reinforce this framework, roles and responsibilities across functions are clearly defined, ensuring accountability and compliance with regulatory and internal requirements. The leadership team periodically reviews these systems, while process owners implement timely corrective actions to strengthen controls and drive continuous improvement. Further strengthening our governance framework, our statutory auditors, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP have audited the financial statements of each Asset SPV as of March 31, 2026. They issued an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, reaffirming our commitment to strong governance, transparency, and operational discipline.
