The deals in Bengaluru covered an area of approximately 114 acres, while those in Gurugram covered around 77.5 acres.
In terms of the purpose of land acquisition, residential development topped the list, with 17 deals covering over 163 acres. Other uses, such as agriculture, mixed-use development, data centers, logistics parks, industrial, and retail, saw one deal each.
