Sopra Steria leases 4.74 lakh sq ft in Noida for 15 years
The Story in Brief
French IT company Sopra Steria has leased 474,150 square feet of office space in Noida's Sector 132 for 15 years, starting 30 May 2026. The space covers the ground to the 17th floors of Maconns Grande Towers A and B, leased from Maconns Infra Private Limited.
The monthly rent is Rs 3.755 crore, or Rs 79.2 per square foot, with a 10% escalation every three years. The Economic Times reports the total rent over 15 years aggregates to approximately Rs 816 crore. A security deposit of Rs 20.48 crore was paid, and 1,125 car parking spaces are included. The agreement includes a rent-free period from June to July 2026, with a lock-in period of 62 months from the rent commencement date.
Raja Seetharaman, co-founder of Propstack, which provided the lease data, said the deal shows global tech firms' preference for long-term customised bases in the NCR. Sopra Steria also has offices in Bengaluru, Chennai and Pune.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the lease deal as straight commercial real estate news, with no government or political framing. Business Standard focuses on the basic lease terms and a comment from Propstack, while The Economic Times adds detail on the rent-free period, lock-in clause and total rent outlay of Rs 816 crore over the lease term. The additional figures do not conflict but offer a fuller picture of the transaction. No critical or opposing perspective is present. The key takeaway is the 15-year commitment, which both outlets present as a sign of global tech occupier confidence in the Noida Expressway corridor.
