6. BUSINESS OPERATIONS
India's real estate sector continued its upward trajectory in FY24
and maintained steady momentum into H1 FY25, driven by a encouraging macroeconomic
environment, improving consumer sentiment, and infrastructure-led urban growth.
Residential sales across the top 7 cities touched an all-time high of
4.76 Lakhs units in FY 24, marking a 31% year-on-year increase. This was matched by a 25%
surge in new launches, indicating strong developer confidence. The momentum carried into
H1 FY25, with approximately 2.5 Lakhs units sold, reflecting a 9% growth over the same
period last year.
MMR and Pune remained the star performers, MMR grew 9% YoY in FY 24,
powered by metro connectivity, Eastern Freeway extensions, and renewed launches in Thane
and the Central Suburbs. Pune outpaced most metros, clocking a 16% YoY increase in sales,
led by strong demand in Hinjewadi, Wakad, and Hadapsar micro-markets. Nashik and select
tier-2 cities also began to show improved absorption, driven by a_ordability and rising
investor interest. From a price-band lens, mid-income housing (` 4080 Lakhs)
maintained the largest market share at 3334%, followed by the premium segment (` 80
lakh` 1.5 crore) and a steadily rising share of luxury homes (>` 1.5 crore),
especially in Mumbai, Goa, and Alibaug. Luxury and second-home markets saw 2025%
growth in FY24, with continued demand in H1 FY25 from HNIs and remote-working
professionals. On the commercial real estate front, leasing volumes surpassed 35 million
sq. ft. pan-India in FY24, with flex spaces and strata-sale models gaining traction among
SMEs and institutional investors alike. Pune and MMR continued to attract occupiers in IT,
BFSI, and co-working sector Policy support, including expected rate cuts by the RBI in H1
FY25 and continued focus on RERA and GST-driven transparency, are further enhancing buyer
confidence. Infrastructure developments like the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA),
Pune Ring Road, and new metro lines are expanding the viable development corridors,
unlocking value across peripheral markets.

sector stands at the cusp of its next growth wavebacked by structural reforms,
digital transformation, and a buyer base that increasingly prioritizes quality,
transparency, and brand credibility.

classes. Residential sales across India's top 7 cities are expected to cross 5 Lakhs
units in 2025, up from 4.76 Lakhs in 2023, led by sustained demand in the mid-income (`
4080 Lakhs) and premium (` 80 Lakhs - ` 1.5 crore) segments. These two categories
are expected to account for a combined 59% of new launches, with the mid-income segment
retaining leadership due to a_ordability, and the premium segment expanding in metro
micro-markets.
Luxury homes (` 1.5 crore and above) continue to witness strong
interest, especially in Mumbai, Delhi, and select second-home destinations like Goa, as
HNIs and remote-first professionals seek lifestyle and wellness-centric real estate.
In terms of regional performance, MMR is expected to grow 1214%
YoY in FY25, powered by infrastructure rollouts like the Metro extensions and Navi Mumbai
International Airport. Pune is projected to grow at 1012%, driven by consistent
demand from IT, education, and manufacturing clusters Nashik and other tier-2 cities are
expected to deliver 68% growth on a lower base but with increasing absorption.
The commercial real estate segment is forecast to grow 810% YoY,
with leasing activity concentrated in flex workspaces and strata-sale commercial
inventory. Institutional demand in Pune, Mumbai, and Bengaluru remains strong.
