The prominence of tier-2 cities like Panipat, Indore, Amritsar, Mysuru, and Ahmedabad in this list also signals a dramatic decentralisation of land investment away from traditional metro-centric strategies.

Post-2021 Boom: Land Emerges as Strategic Capital
Since the pandemic era in 2021, land has increasingly emerged as a critical resource for developers. Between 2021 and H1 2025, 423 land deals totaling 11,858 acres have been concluded across India. These transactions represent a total development potential of 841 million sq ft and a cumulative revenue potential of ₹8.48 lakh crore, according to ANAROCK.
Developer Landscape and Market Trends
Key developers actively acquiring land in H1 2025 include Godrej Properties, M3M Group, Signature Global, Macrotech Developers, Prestige Group, Kolte Patil Developers, Mahindra Lifespaces, Adani Realty, Brigade Group, and Puravankara Limited.
A major trend noted in the report is the rise in Joint Development Agreements (JDAs) — which saw a 150% YoY growth in 2024. These structures help developers optimize capital deployment and share risks, especially in large or multi-phase projects.
