 “The Indian residential real estate market has entered a promising upcycle post-pandemic, bolstered by pent-up demand and a stronger sentiment for homeownership. Over the past two to three years, the sector experienced exceptional growth, which has naturally moderated in 2024. Having said that, the numbers speak volumes – annual sales have exceeded 5 lakh units and Rs. 4 lakh crore in gross value, well above pre-2020 averages. Hence this is not a slowdown but a natural part of the cycle, reflecting a maturing market ready for its next wave of growth. In 2025, we foresee residential demand and supply to grow in close ranges, setting the stage for steady, sustainable progress," said Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO, Square Yards.

Greater Noida and Noida also experienced substantial price growth of 67% due to increased interest linked to the upcoming Jewar Airport.

New Supply Trends

In 2024, developers launched over 3.9 lakh new units and delivered more than 4 lakh units across key cities, responding to homebuyers' preference for gated communities and lifestyle amenities. This robust demand contributed to the strong performance of the NIFTY Realty Index, which surged 40% year-to-date. 

 

Supply Outlook for 2025

Looking ahead, over 3.6 lakh units are expected to be delivered in 2025, with developers completing a pipeline of approximately 300 million sq. ft.
