  • Metro extension and Dwarka Expressway completion milestones
  • Vacancy and rental data from JLL/CBRE/Knight Frank NCR retail reports
  • Quick-commerce and e-commerce discretionary category growth eroding footfall
  • Track pre-leasing commitments and anchor signings for the announced SPJ/Ambience/Reach/Pyramid projects to gauge real absorption vs announced supply
  • Position for omnichannel-experiential formats (F&B, entertainment, luxury flagships) that resist e-commerce substitution
