Delhi NCR Takes the Lead in Land Deals, Bengaluru and Mumbai Follow
Real Estate News:The Indian real estate market has witnessed a surge in joint development agreements (JDAs) between developers and landowners in the last 18 months. According to a report by JLL, a leading real estate company, 56 separate JDAs were signed, covering a total of 1546 acres of land. These agreements have the potential for a total development of over 120 million sq. ft.

Delhi NCR has emerged as the clear winner, with 20 JDAs signed, covering approximately 233 acres of land. The region has seen a significant portion of these deals, with 151 acres signed in Gurugram alone. The remaining deals in NCR were in the NCT of Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Sonipat.

Bengaluru stood second, with 9 deals for over 102 acres, with a development potential of approximately 11 million sq. ft. Multiple deals were recorded in Yelahanka, Whitefield, and Old Madras Road, including a significant transaction in North Bengaluru covering over 60 acres. Mumbai witnessed 7 transactions across 62.5 acres, with a development potential of 9.9 million sq. ft.

The trend of JDAs is expected to continue, with many national developers now preferring outright land purchases, and JDAs remain a viable option for those aiming to adopt an asset-light strategy while expanding into new regions. This collaborative approach allows both sides to maximize their advantages and create successful development.

Cities in Gujarat led in terms of area, with a share of 66 per cent. Ahmedabad witnessed 3 deals spanning across 720 acres, and Surat saw a single deal of 300 acres. Looking ahead, JDAs are poised to remain an attractive strategy, presenting a win-win solution for all stakeholders involved.
