India hosts ~1,800+ GCCs, the majority concentrated in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune. ****What is the SEZ tenancy context?**** : Special Economic Zones offer corporate tax holidays for IT/ITeS occupiers. Many of Bangalore's largest tech parks have SEZ-designated towers; the tax regime is changing under the new SEZ amendments. ****How significant is the ORR commute?**** : Outer Ring Road congestion is structural and is the principal tenant complaint. New Metro extensions to Whitefield and the planned ORR Metro line are the principal mitigants. ## Editorial provenance Reviewed by [**Kenji Watanabe**](/about/authors/kenji-watanabe) — APAC contributing editor.
