Gautam Adani-led Adani Realty has become India’s most valued unlisted real estate firm, worth ₹52,400 crore. The company aims to become India’s No.1 property developer by value within five years. This ambitious goal is driven by Adani’s vision to expand its footprint across various segments of the real estate market, including residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
Mangal Prabhat Lodha is the second richest Indian in real estate with a wealth of ₹92,340 crore in 2025, behind DLF’s Rajiv Singh (₹1.27 trillion) and ahead of Gautam Adani (₹52,320 crore). Lodha Developers has been a key player in the Indian real estate market, known for its high-quality projects and innovative approaches to property development.
The overall value growth in India’s real estate sector fell from 70% in 2024 to just 14% in 2025. Despite global conflicts and high input costs early in the year, the sector's value increased by ₹1.4 trillion due to a strong recovery after April. This recovery was driven by several factors, including repo rate cuts, lower cement prices, and easing import tariffs, which helped balance out the early-year slowdown caused by global and cost pressures.
The top 10 companies in the 2025 GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 150 are now worth over ₹8.5 trillion, led by DLF (₹2.1 trillion), Lodha (₹1.4 trillion), and Indian Hotels (₹1.1 trillion). Aparna Constructions and M3M India made their debut in the top 10, signaling the rise of regional champions. These new entrants bring fresh competition and innovation to the market, enhancing the overall landscape of the real estate sector.
Mumbai remains the real estate capital of India, with 42 companies headquartered there. These firms collectively hold a valuation of ₹6.9 trillion. The city’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and economic importance continue to attract significant investments in the real estate sector. This concentration of real estate firms in Mumbai underscores the city’s importance as a financial and commercial hub.
Oberoi Realty led debt reduction efforts by slashing ₹1,449 crore, bringing its total debt down to ₹2,495 crore. Lodha Developers followed, cutting debt by ₹1,363 crore to ₹7,698 crore. DLF Chairman Rajiv Singh is India’s richest real estate entrepreneur, with his wealth rising 3% to ₹1.27 trillion. Gautam Adani secured the third spot, despite a 7% decline to ₹52,320 crore. These debt reduction efforts highlight the companies' commitment to financial stability and long-term growth.
In conclusion, the Indian real estate sector has shown remarkable resilience and growth in 2025. DLF's leadership, Adani Realty's rise, and the strong performance of top firms like Lodha and Indian Hotels demonstrate the sector's potential for continued success. With favorable economic conditions and strategic investments, the future looks promising for the Indian real estate market.
