Delhi-NCR Segment Jumps 24% in Q3 2025
- Price Growth: Average Residential Prices moved from ₹7,200/sq. ft (Q3 2024) to ₹8,900/sq. ft (Q3 2025) on a 12-month perspective, indicating a growth of 24%.

- Other Notable Cities have displayed statistically significant year-on-year price variances; namely Bengaluru (10%), Hyderabad (8%), and Chennai (5%).
Reasons for NCR’s Price Surge:
1. The Shifts in Lifestyle Choices: High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) are investing in the premium segment in top cities, and Delhi-NCR is one of their top priorities.
2. Strong Demand from Professionals and Corporates: Gurugram and Noida have seen continued absorption of IT professionals, corporate employees, and entrepreneurs, and advanced GCCs are resulting in steady demand for homes in the mid-to-premium segments.
3. Increase in Household Income and Stability: Household income has increased more than inflation rates, and dual-income families have provided stability to household income, which has ideally tempered the increase in EMIs.
4. Investments in Infrastructure and Urban Developments: Infrastructure developments like the Dwarka Expressway & Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor, and metro expansion are attracting more and more investors.
5. Market Dynamics and Buyer Preferences: According to developers and consultants, buyer behavior has experienced a “structural shift” as it relates to buyers’ interests, such as aspiration, stability, and contemporary features.
Comparative Context: Other Key Markets
- Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR): Mumbai still continues to maintain its position as India’s most expensive residential property market at an average price of ₹17,230/sq. ft (6% YoY).
- Bengaluru: 10% increase YoY; core growth areas are Whitefield, Sarjapur, and Northern Bengaluru.
- Hyderabad & Chennai: Moderate price growth between 5% and 8% driven by IT zones and premium developments.
- Pune & Kolkata: Similar price growth of 4–6%, mainly driven by demand clustered in tech and infrastructure locations.
Implications for Investors
- Long-Term Demand Growth: The inertia of the Delhi-NCR market through fluctuations makes it the market of choice for investors looking for stability and appreciation of their investment.
- Strength of the Mid-to-Premium Market: Property priced in the desirable neighborhoods and new townships provides the most pronounced growth and lifestyle benefits.
- Understanding the New Benchmark: The NCR’s performance means that a new benchmark can be established for what is achievable within the residential property market in India.
