From state-of-the-art high-rise apartments in Mumbai and Delhi to lavish villas, luxury homes are in high demand. Tier-1 cities such as Mumbai and the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi have been at the forefront of luxury housing demand, even outpacing sales in the affordable housing segment.

The Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad markets led this trend, accounting for around 84% of luxury housing sales in these top cities.
India's millennials, who make up 36% of the population, are driving the demand for luxury homes, with an estimated combined spending power exceeding US$330 billion. The rise of high-net-worth individuals in India also contributes to the demand for luxury homes that offer exclusivity, privacy, and a range of high-end amenities.
The Indian residential segment has undergone major structural transformations over the last decade, with strong policy interventions, economic momentum, and an ardent desire to own and upgrade homes driving growth. In CY2023, India’s residential real estate sector demonstrated resilience with sustained strong demand, with property sales surging significantly higher than the previous year.
Rapid urbanization, rising income levels, and a growing preference for premium residential properties are driving the luxury boom. Metropolitan landscapes are undergoing significant transformations, leading to a surge in demand for high-quality housing and a superior lifestyle.
Developers have capitalized on the demand, launching multiple projects in the luxury segment, with many selling out within minutes of their release. The broader residential housing market is also experiencing a surge in demand, leading to rising prices. Despite higher prices, sales continue to grow, prompting developers to launch more projects.
