Knowledge Realty Trust reported 15% year-on-year NOI growth to Rs 1,140.4 crore in Q2 FY27, alongside 13% revenue growth. Record distributions reached Rs 764 crore, supported by strong leasing, occupancy and rental growth.
Real estate investment trust (REIT) Knowledge Realty Trust has reported a 15% year-on-year increase in net operating income (NOI) to Rs 1,140.4 crore for the quarter ended September, while revenue rose 13% to Rs 1,272.5 crore.The office REIT declared record distributions of Rs 764 crore for the second quarter of the ongoing financial year, translating into a distribution per unit (DPU) of Rs 1.72, up 11% from a year ago. Around 82% of the distribution is tax-efficient in the hands of unitholders, the REIT said in its earnings release.
The trust recorded gross leasing of 0.8 million sq ft during the quarter, including 0.2 million sq ft of pre-leasing, taking its cumulative leasing for the first half of the financial year to 2.2 million sq ft.
The REIT’s committed occupancy stood at 93% on an area basis and 94% on a value basis. The average spread on leasing during the quarter was 24%, while in-place rents increased 7% year-on-year to Rs 101 per sq ft per month.
“Our growth levers remain firmly in place - contracted escalations, sizeable mark-to-market potential, vacant area lease-up, economic occupancy convergence and an active development pipeline – while our loan to value ratio of 18% provides significant headroom as we evaluate multiple value-accretive opportunities across sponsor and third-party assets,” said Shirish Godbole, chief executive officer of Knowledge Realty Trust.

Expansions by existing tenants accounted for 54% of leasing during the quarter, while the trust achieved annual rental escalations across all leasing transactions. Its weighted average mark-to-market rental potential stands at 25% until financial year 2029-30.
The REIT’s Mumbai portfolio occupancy increased to 95%, rising 300 basis points sequentially and 600 basis points since March 2026, driven by demand from front-office occupiers. The trust achieved a 28% rental spread on 0.6 million sq ft of space re-leased or renewed in Mumbai since March 2026.
In Hyderabad, the trust has repriced around 0.6 million sq ft of space since its listing, achieving a 41% spread on gross rentals.
