This decline is attributed to the withdrawal of incentives, including the 2% stamp duty cut and 10% reduction in circle rate, which were in place for three years. The real estate market in Kolkata had seen a surge in registrations during this period, with 143,864 residential properties being registered in the city.
The data also reveals that apartments ranging in size from 500-1000 sq ft recorded the highest share across all unit size categories, accounting for 47% of the total registrations in July 2024. However, the share of unit sizes over 1000 sq ft reduced significantly from 22% to 8% when compared between July 2023 and July 2024.
The North Zone held the top position in apartment registration tally, with a moderate share of 34%, followed closely by the South Zone with a 33% share. The East zone's share remained stable at 11% in July 2024, while Rajarhat's share remained steady at 10-11% between both periods.
