Mantra Properties has launched a 45-day home buying initiative titled Zero is the new hero, running from mid-February to the end of March across all its ongoing Mantra and Burgundy projects in Pune. The campaign is structured around eliminating multiple upfront and ancillary costs typically associated with residential purchases, including GST, booking amount, floor rise, premium charges, legal fees and loan processing charges. By absorbing or rationalising these components within the overall pricing framework, the developer aims to present a clearer and more predictable cost structure for buyers. The initiative is positioned against Pune's steady residential absorption trends, with Mantra seeking to reduce decision friction and improve transparency at a time when pricing complexity often delays purchase commitments.Read more

The allocation of apartments in the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) housing complex in Kochi is expected to be delayed again as procedural requirements remain incomplete and supporting infrastructure works are yet to be finished.

Of the families on the entitlement list, only those who have completed paperwork and paid their share will be considered for allotment, with contributions and rental income from ground-floor commercial units slated to support ongoing maintenance. Council discussions also touched on other civic issues, including office reconstructions and service charges, as well as concerns over water shortages affecting the city. The developments highlight challenges in moving the multi-year housing scheme towards final beneficiary handover.Read more

India's residential housing market in 2025 showed a clear shift towards higher-value homes, with premium properties priced above INR 1 crore making up about 50 % of total annual sales, according to a Knight Frank India report on the real estate sector. In contrast, sales of affordable homes defined as those priced under INR 50 lakh fell roughly 17 % year-on-year, reflecting weaker demand and limited new launches in the lower ticket categories. The overall market remained broadly stable in volume terms, but mid- and lower-tier segments recorded contraction, while higher-end homes recorded moderate growth. Analysts said the divergence points to structural realignment in buyer preferences and developer focus amid macroeconomic strength and affordability challenges in key cities. The trend was evident across major urban centres including the National Capital Region, Mumbai and Bengaluru.Read more
