India's Luxury Property Market on the Rise: Mumbai and Delhi Top Global Charts
Real Estate:The Indian luxury real estate market is witnessing a significant surge, with Mumbai and Delhi emerging as top contenders globally. According to Knight Frank's latest report on prime residential property prices, Mumbai and Delhi secured the second and third positions, respectively, among 44 cities worldwide for annual price increases in prime residential real estate.

The report reveals that the annual price growth across these cities slowed to 2.6% in the June quarter, down from 4.1% in the previous quarter. However, Mumbai and Delhi defied this trend, with Mumbai following Manila's remarkable 26% annual rise in property prices with a 13% increase. New Delhi also saw a significant leap, with a 10.6% rise in property prices.

Bengaluru, another major Indian market, recorded a 3.7% annual increase in prices, maintaining its 15th place ranking. Knight Frank attributed the strong price growth in Mumbai and Delhi to the burgeoning wealth and rising aspirations of the country's affluent population. This trend underscores a robust demand for luxury properties in India's major cities.

Other notable global markets include Los Angeles, which ranked 4th with an 8.9% increase, followed by Miami (7.1%), Nairobi (6.6%), Madrid (6.4%), Lisbon (4.7%), Seoul (4.6%), and San Francisco (4.5%). Conversely, Dubai, after a 124% surge in prices since 2020, saw a slight moderation with a 0.3% annual decline.

The luxury real estate market in India is driven by the country's growing economy and increasing disposable income. As the demand for luxury properties continues to rise, it is likely that Mumbai and Delhi will maintain their positions as top contenders in the global market.
