Real Estate Outlook 2025–26: India’s Quality-Led Growth

As 2025 draws to a close, India’s real estate sector stands on a far stronger and more mature footing than in previous cycles. Industry leaders point to a clear shift from speculative buying to end-user- and fundamentals-led demand, supported by policy stability, regulatory transparency and improved infrastructure. Luxury and premium segments continue to see healthy, demand-driven growth, shaped by evolving lifestyles, sustainability and wellness-focused design. With stable borrowing costs, enhanced connectivity through expressways and metro corridors, and renewed buyer confidence, the sector is well-positioned for steady, quality-led expansion in 2026 and beyond.

Ashish Bhutani, CEO, Bhutani Infra said, “The Indian real estate industry, particularly the Delhi NCR, is functioning in a far more stable, transparent, and policy-driven environment in 2025 than has been experienced in previous cycles. The luxury sector is witnessing a healthy, demand-driven growth, thanks to changes in lifestyles, rising incomes, and a growing requirement for design, sustainability, wellness. There is a noticeable shift in the overall market sentiment from a speculation-driven to a fundamental buying, with an emphasis on those projects which are sound, policy-friendly, and usable in the long run. This is made easy by the stable regime on the Repo rate, which has influenced the overall predictability of the cost of borrowings, thereby making way for a tempered buying. On a side note, the infrastructure developments in NCR, such as development of Expressways, Metros, Transport Corridors, and Urban Renewal Projects, has enhanced accessibility to NCR significantly. The regulatory changes, which are dominating the real estate sector, have led to a rise in overall transparency and accountability on the part of the real sector. The real estate sector is set to grow on the back of infrastructure development, tempered supply, and a growing need for quality, future-ready, real estate in the upcoming 2026 and onwards.”

Kunal Seth, Director of Shalimar Corp said, “2025 has not just been a year of growth for Uttar Pradesh’s real estate sector, but a defining phase of transformation. Evolving customer preferences—towards superior design, quality, and smart living—have reshaped the market’s trajectory. At Shalimar, we are proud to be at the heart of this change and remain committed to elevating the future of urban living.”

Rajnikant Mishra, Founder and Chairman Amrawati Group said, “In 2025, Uttar Pradesh’s real estate market demonstrated remarkable positivity. The growing demand in the mid-segment and affordable housing categories has expanded the market significantly. At Amarawati, our focus remains on creating projects that make quality living more accessible for families.”

Saransh Trehan, Managing Director, Trehan Group said, “As 2025 comes to an end, India’s real estate sector stands stronger and more confident than ever. This year has reinforced homebuyer trust and strengthened the fundamentals of the market. Gurugram, in particular, has outperformed every expectation—driven by world-class infrastructure, corporate growth, and a lifestyle ecosystem that continues to evolve rapidly. We have seen sustained demand across premium, luxury, and well-planned mid-segment housing, reaffirming the city’s position as India’s most aspirational destination. Emerging corridors like Bhiwadi, Alwar, and Neemrana have also gained momentum due to improved connectivity and rising aspirations. As we step into 2026, I believe the sector is poised for one of its most transformative years, with sustainability, innovation, and customer-centric development shaping the future of Indian real estate.”

Neeraj K Mishra, Executive Director, Ganga Realty said, “The year 2025 has been a defining phase for NCR real estate, especially Gurgaon, which continues to set the benchmark for modern urban living. We have seen a clear shift in buyer behaviour, with customers prioritizing larger, well-planned homes, integrated amenities, and sustainable community designs. The city’s strongest corridors—from Dwarka Expressway to SPR and New Gurgaon—benefited immensely from improved connectivity and expanding social infrastructure. With major projects nearing completion and policy stability supporting consumer sentiment, 2026 is positioned to unlock even stronger end-user and investor participation. At Ganga Realty, we believe the coming year will see accelerated demand for quality-driven, value-focused developments that cater to long-term aspirations. Gurgaon’s evolution as a lifestyle-first market will continue to drive its leadership in NCR’s real estate landscape.”
