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.

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.
