Delhi NCR and Chennai led the demand, cumulatively accounting for about half of the overall leasing in H1 2025. Interestingly among the top eight cities, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru saw impressive demand of at least 2 mn sq ft during the first half of the year. Third Party Logistics (3PL) players continued to be the primary drivers of space uptake in Grade A warehouses & industrial sheds, contributing to about 32% share in overall demand during the first half of the year. In fact, demand from most occupier segments including 3PL, engineering, e-commerce, automobile, and retail firms rose significantly during H1 2025. Meanwhile, at the micro market level, warehousing space uptake was the highest in Bhiwandi (Mumbai) at 3.1 mn sq ft followed by Oragadam (Chennai) at 1.5 mn sq ft. Trends in Grade A Gross absorption (mn sq ft) City Q2 2025 Q2 2024 YoY change H1 2025 H1 2024 YoY change Ahmedabad 0.6 0.3 100 % 1.2 0.6 100 % Bengaluru 1.2 1.2 0 % 2.0 1.7 18 % Chennai 1.7 1.3 31 % 3.7 3.2 16 % Delhi NCR 2.5 1.8 39 % 5.6 3.2 75 % Hyderabad 0.8 0.3 167 % 1.1 0.5 120 % Kolkata 0.5 0.4 25 % 1.0 0.7 43 % Mumbai 2.1 0.6 250 % 3.1 2.5 24 % Pune 1.1 1.0 10 % 1.8 2.3 -22 % TOTAL 10.5 6.9 52 % 19.5 14.7 33 % Source: Colliers Note: Data pertains to Grade A buildings. Absorption does not include lease renewals, pre-commitments and deals where only a Letter of Intent has been signed. "During the second quarter of 2025, industrial & warehousing sector saw about 11 mn sq ft of demand across the top eight cities, a 52% rise YoY. Notably, Q2 recorded the highest quarterly gross absorption in the last few years. Delhi NCR drove around one-fourth of the quarterly demand at 2.5 mn sq ft of Grade A space uptake. The demand in the region was led by large space uptake in Farukhnagar and Kulana micro markets. In fact, cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Chennai, with 60% demand share in Q2 2025, continued to drive industrial & warehousing sector in India. The growth momentum is likely to remain unabated in the forthcoming quarters, setting the stage for a strong performance in 2025," says Vijay Ganesh,Managing Director, Industrial & Logistics Services, Colliers India. 3PL continues to dominate demand in H1 2025; leasing by other segments on the rise During the first half of 2025, 3PL players continued to dominate demand, accounting for around one-third of the leasing activity. Concurrently, space uptake by other occupier segments such as engineering, e-commerce and automobile were also notable, with each segment accounting for 2-4 mn sq ft of space take up, during H1 2025. "The industrial & warehousing sector witnessed strong space uptake in the first half of 2025 with around 20 mn sq ft of leasing, driven by robust demand across a diverse range of occupier segments. While 3PL players continue to lead overall demand, engineering, e-commerce and automobiles, segments have been steadily gaining traction over the last few quarters. Each of these three segments accounted for around 10-20% of the Grade A space uptake in H1 2025. This heterogeneity of demand reflects the sector's resilience and aligns with the broad-based growth prospects in the domestic economy. It also sets a strong foundation for continued growth in industrial & warehousing sector through the rest of 2025, " says Vimal Nadar, National Director & Head of Research, Colliers India. Large sized deals account for 51% of gross leasing across the top 8 cities During H1 2025, large deals (>200,000 sq ft) accounted for about half of the demand. Although a vast majority of these larger deals came from 3PL players, e-commerce and engineering segments too continued to witness large warehousing space requirements. At the city level, Delhi NCR followed by Mumbai dominated large-sized deals during H1 2025. New supply also remains strong in H1 2025, rises by 11% on an annual basis The first six months of 2025 saw a new supply to the tune of 19 mn sq ft, an 11% YoY rise. The new supply was almost in line with the strong leasing activity during H1 2025, indicating improved developer confidence in the industrial & warehousing market. Taking cognizance of healthy demand across major cities and business environment, developers have been infusing high quality warehousing facilities replete with technologically advanced features. Moreover, in line with demand trends, Delhi NCR and Chennai accounted for the bulk of new supply during H1 2025. These two cities cumulatively contributed close to half of the new supply across the top eight cities of the country. Notably, Q2 2025 witnessed 10 mn sq ft of completions in top eight cities of the country, an 8% YoY rise. Q2 2025 also marked the highest quarterly supply infusion over the last few quarters. Upcoming quarters are also likely to witness significant influx of Grade A supply, with new supply expected to reach about 35-40 mn sq ft by the end of the year.

Judge Denies Injunction in Yale Student's AI Suspension
Yale School of Management A federal judge has denied a Yale Executive MBA student's request to return to campus and graduate with his cohort, siding with Yale School of Management after it suspended the student for allegedly using generative AI to complete a final exam. Thierry Rignol, a French national and entrepreneur based in Texas, also lost the right to sue anonymously and has since been named publicly. Rignol filed a federal lawsuit in February accusing Yale of discrimination, due process violations, and other complaints after the alleged cheating incident in spring 2024. He sought an injunction that would allow him to graduate with his EMBA classmates in 2025 despite a one-year suspension and a failing grade in the course. A FAILURE TO MAKE HIS CASE District Judge Sarah Russell denied his motion on Monday (May 5), finding that Rignol failed to make his case. 'Rignol has not carried his burden of establishing that a break in studies until the start of the next academic year (in fall 2025) and continuing to have an F on his transcript will cause him irreparable harm,' the judge wrote. Rignol, who founded a hospitality and real estate firm in Mexico, enrolled in SOM's 22-month executive MBA program in July 2023 and was expecting to graduate this May. However, in May 2024, he submitted a 30-page final exam for the 'Sourcing and Managing Funds' course, one of the longest submissions in the class. Most were closer to 20 pages. A teaching assistant flagged it as potentially AI-generated. The course was set for open book but closed internet, so no use of AI tools, according to the course syllabus. YALE: STUDENT IGNORED REQUESTS TO PROVIDE ORIGINAL DOCS Faculty initially used ChatGPTZero to assess the work and found similarities between Rignol's answers and responses generated by ChatGPT. They referred the case to the school's Honor Committee. Things spiraled from there. Rignol claims that he was pressured by Yale administrators to falsely confess to AI use, with one dean allegedly suggesting he could face deportation. He also alleges that the Honor Committee proceeded with hearings without giving him access to key evidence, among other charges. His lawsuit claims that Yale's own policies prohibit using tools like GPTZero due to their high false-positive rates, particularly for non-native English speakers. Yales contends that Rignol ignored requests to submit the original Word or Pages document used to produce the exam PDF. He later said he had used Apple Pages but allegedly did not submit the original file until the day of his Honor Committee hearing in November, months after repeated requests. He also declined a follow-up meeting in which the committee asked him to bring his laptop for later that day. The committee did not initially rule on whether Rignol used AI. Instead, it sanctioned him for not being forthcoming, suspending him for one year. A COMMITTEE RULING AGAINST Rignol appealed his suspension to Deputy Dean Anjani Jain who subsequently asked the committee to reconvene and consider the AI violation itself. The committee concluded that Rignol did, in fact, violate exam rules by using AI, citing strong similarities between his answers and ChatGPT responses. It issued a mandatory F in the course. In his filings, Rignol argued that facing a full-year suspension incentivizes false confessions from accused students, and that he was denied the ability to fully defend himself. He also argued that the school's reliance on AI detection tools was flawed and that the punishment – a standalone suspension for not being forthcoming – was unprecedented at SOM. The court disagreed. 'Continuing to serve the suspension does not prevent Rignol from listing merely his year of graduation rather than the number of years he took to earn a degree,' Judge Russell wrote, adding that any lost earnings 'can be quantified and remedied with money damages' if his lawsuit is ultimately successful. She noted that Rignol, unlike undergraduate plaintiffs in similar cases, was a 'financially successful professional' who failed to identify a single concrete opportunity he would forfeit due to the suspension. POTENTIAL FOR EMBARRASSMENT NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY ANONYMITY, JUDGE SAYS In a separate ruling on March 31, Russell also denied Rignol's request to proceed under the pseudonym 'John Doe,' finding that he failed to meet the legal standard to justify anonymity. She emphasized that the potential for embarrassment or reputational harm – such as being publicly associated with an academic misconduct case – does not, by itself, override the public's interest in open court proceedings. 'I take seriously Doe's contention that he would be humiliated if he were to disclose that he was accused of academic misconduct,' she wrote. 'But the potential for embarrassment or public humiliation does not, without more, justify a request for anonymity.' Rignol's lawsuit against Yale is ongoing and includes claims of breach of contract, discrimination, and emotional distress.

Try Ethan Kross's Methods to Manage Emotions in the Moment
Circle arrows icon set. Rotate arrow symbols. Round recycle, refresh, reload or repeat icon. Modern ... More simple arrows. Vector illustration. I recently spoke with Ethan Kross, PhD, about his new book Shift—Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You. Kross, an award-winning professor at the University of Michigan and Director of the Emotion and Self Control Laboratory, is also the author of the bestseller Chatter; he's an expert on emotion regulation. His research has been featured on CBS Evening News and Good Morning America, as well as in The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and many other outlets. How do you keep your emotions from getting the best of you? Is there a quick fix? According to Kross, no; however, you can learn to regulate your emotions in the moment and make a plan to not be bested by intense feeling. Kross said there is no one size fits all tool for emotional regulation. Rather, he encourages readers to keep an open mind and try many different tools. Kross and I discussed methods and modalities you can keep in mind when you need to refocus and emotionally regulate in difficult situations. The WOOP self-regulation plan. If you're prone to reactivity, working a plan for emotional regulation can help you in moments when you are overwhelmed. Kross says implementing this plan pays dividends. He uses the framework 'Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan' (or WOOP) to assess any emotional challenge: W-Wish: Write down a wish or a goal that is important to you and within the realm of possibility O-Outcome: How will it feel when you accomplish this? Write it down. O-Obstacle: What are issues in your path keeping you from success? List them. P-Plan: The action you are going to take when you face this obstacle. Write how you will keep moving despite obstacles. Inevitably, you will face barriers as you pursue the things that are important to you. A WOOP plan allows you to not be thrown off or overly disheartened when you face setbacks. Remember that you have an action plan; feel your feelings, then work the plan. Mentally time travel. Worst-case scenario thinking can translate into rumination. Rumination can quickly lead to shame: thoughts such as 'Why is this happening?' or 'I should be past this point by now.' To break this cycle, you must "flip the switch," says Kross, through mental time travel. To mentally time travel, imagine how you will feel in a month, after you are out of the woods with this particular situation. Realize that whatever you are facing will pass. When you can connect with a feeling of certainty, you allow yourself to access solutions for how you will get through the current moment. Another way of mentally time traveling is looking backward; how have you dealt with these situations in the past? You made it through those times; you'll make it through this rough patch as well. Seek quick relief. When emotions are overwhelming you, reach for quick relief. Reset your emotional state. You can do this by listening to your favorite song on repeat, changing your space (go to your local coffee shop, for example), or by mentally time traveling. Kross shares a story about an interaction he had with his daughter. His daughter Dani played soccer; one Saturday on the way to a game, Dani was sitting in the backseat, surly. Emotions are contagious; Kross said his daughter's bad mood was also bringing him down. Then, one of Kross's favorite songs came on the radio. He and his daughter started singing along; when he looked to the back seat of the car, Dani was smiling and happy. When they got to the field, Dani was happy and ready to play. (Thanks, Journey!) A good song on the radio, a quick dance break—these mood lifters don't take much time, but they can change the tenor of your day. Kross advises readers to take advantage of these resets. Talk it out. Don't wrestle with a difficult situation in isolation. Talk through your issue with someone you trust. However, be careful with whom you share, says Kross; you want someone who will be empathetic, affirming, and solution-oriented—not someone who will cause you to despair more. Seek someone who is not in the same emotional straits as you. Be clear in your intent; say that you would like to share the facets of what is bothering you, and you're sharing because you'd like help seeing the situation differently. You don't want just to keep talking and talking—you want to come to a resolution. Kross shares that there are many different ways to manage your emotions and regulate. Leverage the tools in Shift so you can flip the switch so that you see the situation in a different light.
