The report highlights that the residential sector has experienced a strong revival in housing demand across the top-seven cities, including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Pune. This is attributed to an increased realization of the importance of home ownership, post-COVID-19 pandemic.
India's 7 major cities have witnessed an annual 8% growth in the sector, with the completion of housing units in 2023 reaching 4.35 lakh units. The residential and commercial real estate sector is the second-largest employment provider, after agriculture, generating jobs for over 50 million people, which is 18% of the country's total workforce.
The report also notes that the Indian real estate employment grew to 7.1 crore in 2023 from 4 crore in 2013, driven by growth in the housing segment supported by several policy reforms by the government. Furthermore, there was a substantial drop in unsold housing inventory during the 2021-2023 period, with Delhi NCR leading with a 19% decline, followed by Chennai and Pune.
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 marks a threefold increase from the sector's market size of approximately $482 billion in 2023, contributing 7.3% to the total economic output.
A surge in demand for new homes is expected in urban areas, which will rise to 78 million between 2024 and 2034, spanning across various income brackets, from affordable to luxury housing segments.
