The general elections and high land prices are cited as the main reasons for the decline in land deals. The elections led to a delay in decision-making, while high land prices deterred developers and other entities from acquiring land.
However, despite the sluggish Q2, the overall land deals data for the first half of 2024 is more upbeat. A total of 54 deals were closed during this period, covering over 1,045 acres, compared to 46 deals covering 950 acres in the corresponding period last year.
Bengaluru and Gurugram emerged as the top cities in terms of number of land deals, with 15 deals each covering 216 acres and 162 acres, respectively. Mumbai saw 5 land deals for 34 acres in the first half of this year, while Hyderabad and Chennai each closed 3 deals for 63.5 acres and 48 acres, respectively.
Anarock pointed out that out of the total land deals closed in April-June, over 17 have been proposed for residential developments covering more than 163 acres. Agriculture, mixed-use development, data centres, logistics parks, industrial, and retail saw one deal each.
The real estate sector is expected to pick up pace in the coming quarters, driven by demand for residential and commercial spaces. However, high land prices and regulatory issues remain major challenges for developers and other entities.
