The Luxury Housing Market in India: A Sustainable Growth Story?
Real Estate:The luxury housing market in India has witnessed a significant surge in demand over the past three years, driven by several key factors such as rapid urbanisation, increasing disposable incomes, and changing lifestyle aspirations.

According to a report by Knight Frank India, the luxury housing segment has recorded a sustained rise in its market share (sales) starting Q3 2022, with 46% of the total home sales across the top eight cities in India concentrated in this category.

However, experts warn that the complete dependency on the upper end of the market is not a sustainable development from a long-term perspective.
