The chairman pointed out that investment levels have shown a clear upward trend over the past three years. In 2023, real estate investment in the state stood at around INR 29,000 crore, which rose to approximately INR 45,000 crore in 2024 before reaching the current level. This consistent rise indicates stronger capital inflows into residential and mixed-use projects.
Project registrations with UP RERA have also increased. During 2025, the authority approved 308 real estate projects, compared to 259 approvals in the previous year and 197 projects in 2023. Bhoosreddy said the authority has improved processing timelines, with developer registrations now being completed within four to 30 days once all required documents are submitted.
Housing construction activity has expanded in parallel with higher investments. The number of housing units completed rose from about 25,500 units in 2023 to nearly 65,500-70,000 units in 2024. This figure increased further to around 85,000 units in 2025, reflecting faster execution and higher supply entering the market.
Developer interest is no longer limited to the NCR region. Projects are increasingly coming up in cities such as Agra, Bareilly, Moradabad, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Jhansi, Kanpur, Aligarh, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Devi Patan and Mirzapur. Bhoosreddy noted that developers from southern states, as well as Maharashtra and Karnataka, have shown growing interest in Uttar Pradesh.
Certain locations have seen sharp appreciation in land values. In Ayodhya, land prices in prime areas have reportedly reached levels as high as INR 1 lakh per square foot, driven by rising demand and limited availability.
Industry participants have also observed a gradual shift in buyer preferences, with demand moving towards larger homes and better amenities. This change is influencing the type of projects being launched across key cities in the state.
