A new report from Savills India suggests that circular office fit-outs can reduce embodied carbon emissions by 25% to 55%. By shifting from short-term refurbishments to lifecycle-led design, companies can lower material waste and improve asset efficiency in India's growing commercial real estate market. While these sustainable interiors may require a 10% to 15% increase in upfront capital costs, the report indicates these costs can be recovered over five to ten years. Scaling these practices will require better green procurement frameworks and stronger regulatory disclosure requirements.
