# India housing market: premium growth and redevelopment shift > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/india-housing-market-resilience > Updated: 2026-09-03T05:13:50.000Z. Sources: 26. Developments: 16. India’s residential property sector continues its shift toward a quality-centric model, with premium housing above ₹1 crore now accounting for 63% of sales. While the sector reached a value of $3.5 to $4.0 billion in H1 2026, recent data indicates a cooling in sales volumes across eight major cities, which fell 6.1% year-on-year to 91,729 units in Q2 2026. In Mumbai, property registrations in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation jurisdiction are projected to rise 11% year-on-year to 12,503 units in August 2026, potentially marking a 14-year high for the month. This growth is expected to drive stamp duty collections for the Maharashtra state government to approximately ₹1,123 crore in August, a 12% increase from the previous year. To capitalize on this momentum, NAREDCO Maharashtra planned to host the Real Estate & Infrastructure Investors’ Summit 2026 on September 3, aiming to secure investment commitments exceeding ₹10,000 crore. A significant structural shift is occurring in Mumbai’s housing market as redevelopment sales begin to outpace new project launches. A joint report by JLL and NAREDCO Maharashtra indicates that redevelopment’s share of total housing sales rose to 15% in the first half of 2026, up from 6% recorded between 2016 and 2021. Driven by an ‘urban survival imperative’ due to land scarcity, the market is focused on replacing approximately 13,500 cessed buildings and managing a massive slum redevelopment pipeline covering 2,156 acres. While the state expands its financial infrastructure through the 1,710-acre Naveen Nagpur International Business & Finance Center (IBFC), localized challenges persist, such as a 15-year delay on a housing project in Mumbai’s Mulund area. ## Claims - Approximately 106,000 homes were launched across India's top seven cities in Q2 2026, a 7 % YoY increase.
