AFC Furniture Solutions, India’s fastest-growing manufacturer of modular and ergonomic office furniture, has announced expansion beyond the established Mumbai market, targeting Pune’s technology corridors and Nagpur’s Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport zone. The announcement was made in Mumbai on 1st July, 2026 as per a press release. The company is targeting 25 to 30 percent of its revenue from western India, driven by demand from over 900 companies located across the Special Economic Zone and non-Special Economic Zone areas of Hinjewadi, as well as Nagpur’s MIHAN zone. AFC’s plans correlate to Pune’s first quarter 2026 numbers that, according to Cushman and Wakefield, reported Global Capability Centres driving 69 percent of the city’s total office leasing demand, concentrated across Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Baner.
Early Mover Advantage in Nagpur MIHAN Zone
AFC Furniture Solutions is an early mover in Nagpur’s MIHAN zone. With many companies in various stages of operations and operational preparedness, the state plans to develop New Nagpur as a full-scale business and financial district on the lines of Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex. The company sees significant opportunity as infrastructure and corporate occupier activity scale up in the region. The expansion strategy aligns with institutional momentum created by state policy. AFC Furniture Solutions Maharashtra plans build on existing client relationships and delivery systems developed through its Greater Mumbai operations. The company already has a large presence in Mumbai’s commercial real estate market.
Maanoj Tomar, Founder, AFC Furniture Solutions, said, “The Maharashtra GCC Policy 2025 was the clearest signal yet of the state’s investment plans and industrial growth. The plan targets 400 new Global Capability Centres, 4,00,000 high-skilled jobs, and Rs 50,600 crore in investments across the state by FY 2029-30. The policy has put institutional momentum behind markets that AFC had already identified as the next wave.” The company noted that the policy validates demand trends it had anticipated in Pune and Nagpur. AFC Furniture Solutions Maharashtra will scale its presence through project acquisitions, deeper design consultancy, efficient executions, and stronger partnerships with developers and architects in the region.
AFC has delivered projects for Trilegal, Emirates, Tata Capital, WNS Mumbai, Housing Development Finance Corporation Aeroli, Unity Bank, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Bank, Infrastructure Development Finance Company Bank, and National Payments Corporation of India across the state. These deliveries reflect the systems and client relationships built through Mumbai operations. The company now plans to replicate this scale in Pune and Nagpur. Demand from Global Capability Centres is a key driver, with leasing activity concentrated in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Baner. AFC Furniture Solutions Maharashtra is positioning itself to meet large-scale, Environmental, Social, and Governance compliant fit-out requirements emerging from these occupiers.
IGBC Gold-Rated Plant Supports ESG-Compliant Delivery
AFC’s 4 lakh square feet Indian Green Building Council gold-rated manufacturing facility at Noida produces over 18,000 workstations and ergonomic seating systems every month. Its landmark fit-out at Noida International Airport, where AFC deployed over 6,000 low-emission furniture systems across nearly 1 lakh square metres with a recyclability rate of 66 percent, reflects the kind of large-scale, ESG-compliant delivery that Global Capability Centre operations in Maharashtra are increasingly demanding. As India’s first Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association Level 3 certified furniture manufacturer, AFC will bring that capability directly to the state’s growth markets in Pune and Nagpur.
“We have had a strong run in Greater Mumbai, and that gave us a good read on Maharashtra’s market. When we saw the GCC Policy come through, and when the Pune and Nagpur numbers started aligning with what we had anticipated, the decision to push harder was straightforward. We are not reacting to this market. We saw it coming, and we are ready for it,” added Tomar. The company stated that its market read and operational preparedness prompted the expansion. AFC Furniture Solutions Maharashtra will leverage its manufacturing scale and certification credentials to serve new corporate campuses and financial districts. The focus remains on ergonomic, modular solutions for technology and financial services occupiers.
The Maharashtra Global Capability Centre Policy 2025 targets 400 new Global Capability Centres, 4,00,000 high-skilled jobs, and Rs 50,600 crore in investments by Financial Year 2029–30. With over 900 companies in Hinjewadi’s Special Economic Zone and non-Special Economic Zone areas and MIHAN developing as New Nagpur, AFC Furniture Solutions Maharashtra expects sustained demand for office furniture and fit-outs. The company will continue project acquisitions and deepen partnerships with developers and architects across the region. Its expansion to Pune and Nagpur builds on a strong Mumbai base and positions it to serve the next wave of commercial real estate growth in western India.
