Indian Residential Real Estate Sector Witnesses Unprecedented Growth, Except in Kolkata
Real Estate Maharashtra:The residential real estate market in India has witnessed an unprecedented growth in the first half of 2024, with a remarkable 55% increase in new launches, totaling 159,455 units. This surge is largely attributed to major cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Hyderabad, which have driven the growth in the sector. However, Kolkata has presented a stark contrast, with an 11% drop in new launches, recording only 4,388 units compared to the 4,942 units during the same period in 2023. Notably, Kolkata's new launch inventory accounted for a mere three percent among the top seven cities.

On the national level, cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Hyderabad have led the increase in new launches. Conversely, Chennai and Pune have experienced a 10% and 22% decline respectively. Residential prices have surged year-on-year by 5 to 20 percent in the top seven cities during Q2 2024.

This growth in the residential real estate sector can be attributed to various factors, including the government's initiatives to boost the sector, increasing demand for housing, and the growing economy. However, the decline in new launches in Kolkata is a cause for concern and needs to be addressed.

Information
The Indian real estate sector has been witnessing a slowdown in recent years, due to various factors such as demonetization, GST, and RERA. However, with the government's initiatives to boost the sector, the industry has started to show signs of recovery.
