The average price per square foot (PSF) in Greater Mumbai is INR 32,150.
29% of homes sold in Greater Mumbai are priced above INR 2 crores.
The affordability issues in Greater Mumbai are driven by high property prices, which are influenced by government policies and premiums. These policies, while intended to regulate development and fund urban infrastructure, have become a double-edged sword, leading to inflated property prices and smaller apartment sizes.
The report recommends regulatory reforms, including the rationalization of premiums and streamlining of approval processes. It also calls for strong collaboration between the public and private sectors and a commitment to long-term urban planning.
1 Finance aims to elevate real estate to its rightful place as a legitimate investment class, alongside other traditional options. They believe that real estate advisory should be a standard part of India's financial planning framework and are committed to providing unbiased real estate price indices for top cities.
