India housing market confidence and luxury growth
Entities: RERA · Mumbai Metropolitan Region · ANAROCK Research · TREVOC Group · Urban Challenge Fund
Overview
The Indian residential property sector continues to signal strong economic confidence. In Q2 2026 developers launched about 106,000 homes across the seven major cities—a 7 % year‑on‑year increase—and nearly 90,700 units were sold despite rising prices. Builders are increasingly targeting Tier‑2 markets, with more than half of recent plot launches situated outside the traditional metros, buoyed by government infrastructure programmes such as the Urban Challenge Fund and new expressways that improve connectivity and encourage lower‑density, organised developments.
The premium and luxury segment remains a key driver of growth. Luxury and premium homes still constitute roughly 42 % of new supply in the major cities, accounting for around ₹2.98 lakh crore in sales and expanding 7 % YoY. Luxury prices in Mumbai have risen about 43 % over the past three years, while Delhi‑NCR leads in overall transaction value. Gurugram’s share of luxury sales has widened dramatically, representing over 73 % of total luxury transactions in 2025 and maintaining its dominance into 2026.
These trends reinforce the resilience of India’s high‑end housing market, showing sustained demand from affluent buyers, NRIs, and professionals even as activity spreads to secondary urban centres.
