Emphasizing the demand for amenities, sustainability, and design, Magazine highlights a shift in market preferences reflecting an affluent population seeking improved quality of life.
The report underscores a sustainable growth trajectory aided by progressive policies, visionary urban planning, and innovative technology.

In the first half of 2025, Delhi saw office space absorption of approximately 400,000 sq. ft., largely fueled by the research, consulting, analytics, flexible space operators, and BFSI sectors, which comprised about 80% of leasing activity. The retail sector also recorded significant absorption, driven by demand from fashion, homeware, and lifestyle brands amid rising incomes and new global entries.
The residential market, especially luxury segments, also demonstrated robust growth in H1 2025, with 21,000 new launches and equivalent sales figures. The ongoing infrastructure developments, including metro expansions and expressways, are primed to enhance peripheral areas, further boosting investment prospects.
