The Indian real estate sector has grown from a market size of $120 billion in 2017 to $477 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, largely led by the affordable housing scheme. The Central Government's comprehensive Mission “Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) – Housing for All Mission” has been a key driver of this growth.
Factors such as strengthening of the domestic economy, high urbanization, and various government initiatives have driven the growth in the residential housing market in India. Additionally, home owners are increasingly adopting greener residential projects and infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability.
The residential sector has experienced a strong revival in housing demand across the top-seven cities - Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Pune, owing to an increased realization of importance of home ownership, post-covid-19 pandemic.
According to Brickwork Ratings, India has witnessed a significant surge in demand as well as supply of housing units across the top seven cities of India over the past decade. The research stated that between 2014 and 2023, the combined housing supply in India’s top seven residential markets (cities) had soared to 29.32 lakh units while the sales had surged to an approximate 28.27 lakh unit.
The Indian real estate sector is expected to reach an estimated $1.5 trillion by 2034 and is expected to contribute 10.5% to the country’s GDP over the next 10 years. This growth is expected to be primarily driven by the residential market with an expected value of $906 billion, followed by the office sector contributing $125 billion.
