Commercial premises throughout India are measured on three different bases as follows :

Carpet Area

This is a total internal area of a premises measured from the internal walls. This would broadly equate to a standard BOMA net lettable area calculation.

Built Up Area

This is the total area of the premises measured from the external perimeter wall surfaces and incorporates an allocation of common areas on the same floor excluding lift, core and fire stairs (this is usually 20% - 25% larger than carpet-area).

Super Built Up

This incorporates built up area but also includes a proportional allocation of all common areas including stairs, lift cores, ground floor lobby, and caretakers office/flat etc. throughout the entire building and therefore usually represents an increase of 35% to 40% over and above carpet area. The convention is for all premises to be leased relative to their Built up area. 

However, as values have risen, some developers are now equating lettable area in Super Built up terms to reduce the effective rate per ft2. As such, prospective tenants need to carefully verify which measurement standard is being utilized.
