Project registrations saw a significant jump, rising from 259 in 2024 to 308 in 2025, an increase of 49 projects or 19 percent. This growth demonstrates renewed confidence among developers and investors in U.P. RERA's regulatory framework and improved ease of doing business. The rise also reflects the effectiveness of government initiatives such as the Township Policy by the Housing and Urban Planning Department and the Authority's user-friendly IT-enabled web portal, which enables promoters to file registration applications efficiently, with approvals issued within 30 days.
The number of approved units also increased notably. While 69,365 units were proposed under registered projects in 2024, this number rose to 84,976 in 2025, a 22.5 percent growth. Of the total approved units, 62,672 are residential, including apartments, plots, and villas, while 22,304 are commercial, such as shops and studios. Across 2024 and 2025 combined, U.P. RERA approved a total of 1,54,341 units, highlighting the Authority's role in meeting the growing housing and commercial demands of the state.
Capital investment in the sector surged from INR 44,526 crores in 2024 to INR 68,328 crores in 2025, a rise of 53.5 percent, reflecting strengthened investor confidence. This surge underlines the positive impact of government priorities and U.P. RERA's regulatory mechanisms, which ensure transparency, accountability, and timely project execution, making real estate in Uttar Pradesh more attractive for long-term investment.
While the National Capital Region (NCR) continues to be a key market, real estate growth in non-NCR areas has been significant. In 2025, 122 projects were registered in the NCR, compared with 186 projects in non-NCR districts. Cities such as Lucknow led with 67 projects, followed by Mathura with 23, Bareilly with 15, and Agra with 14, showing investor confidence in Tier-2 and emerging cities. These trends highlight the success of government policies aimed at decentralizing development and creating new real estate hubs across the state.
Geographical coverage of projects also expanded. In 2024, 23 districts had registered projects, which increased to 27 districts in 2025. Newly added districts include Bulandshahr, Rampur, Chandauli, Unnao, Gonda, Mau, and Mirzapur, with a combined investment of INR 1,027 crores.
Region-wise, the western region recorded 175 projects with an investment of INR 55,620.43 crores, covering 60,214 units. Noida, Ghaziabad, and Agra were the top districts by investment. The central region saw 104 projects worth INR 11,270.42 crores and 21,646 units, led by Lucknow, Jhansi, and Kanpur Nagar. In the eastern region, 29 projects totaling INR 1,436.86 crores will deliver 3,116 units, with Varanasi, Gorakhpur, and Ayodhya leading investment.
Among individual districts, Noida remained the top performer with 69 registered projects, 37,199 approved units, and INR 37,161 crores in investment. Lucknow followed with 67 projects, 13,668 units, and INR 9,398 crores, while Ghaziabad recorded 29 projects, 10,747 units, and INR 12,750 crores.
Real estate activity also grew in religious and pilgrimage cities, reflecting the impact of religious tourism and infrastructure development. Ayodhya registered five projects, Mathura 23, Varanasi nine, and Prayagraj seven, driven by improved connectivity, urban renewal, and rising visitor numbers.
The strong performance of U.P. RERA is closely linked to the Uttar Pradesh government's proactive policies, including expressways, metro projects, industrial corridors, smart city programs, and urban rejuvenation initiatives. These efforts have enhanced connectivity and livability, making both major and emerging cities attractive for real estate investment.
Chairman of U.P. RERA, Shri Sanjay Bhoosreddy, highlighted that the Authority's 2025 performance reflects its focus on transparency, accountability, and consumer protection. He noted that the increase in project registrations, approved units, and capital investment demonstrates growing trust in the regulatory framework, while balanced regional development and timely project completion remain core objectives.
Overall, U.P. RERA's strong governance and transparent mechanisms have reinforced Uttar Pradesh's position as one of India's most promising real estate destinations.
