India's luxury real estate market is seeing strong growth, particularly in cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. Demand for high-end homes is rising, driven by India's expanding economy and evolving buyer preferences. Wealthy buyers and high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) are showing great interest in properties priced over INR 4 crore, boosting luxury home sales significantly.
This year, luxury home sales reached 12,625 units, a notable increase from 9,160 units sold in the same period last year. Delhi-NCR saw the most sales, with 5,855 units. Delhi-NCR led with 5,855 units, while Mumbai and Hyderabad also had high demand. Together, these three regions made up nearly 90% of sales across India's top seven cities.
Experts say this growth comes from India's growing economy and changing buyer preferences. The main buyers are high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) who want homes with modern amenities, privacy, and a high-quality lifestyle.
Developers are meeting this demand by creating exclusive luxury projects, often with eco-friendly designs and premium facilities. Amit Modi, Director at County Group, shared that affluent buyers are drawn to larger, more luxurious homes that offer comfort and good investment returns.
