Mumbai city, under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) jurisdiction, recorded 11,219 property registrations in January 2026, generating over Rs 10.12 billion in stamp duty revenue for the Maharashtra government. This marked the highest January revenue collection in the past 14 years, despite an eight per cent year-on-year decline in registration volumes compared to January 2025.

Stamp duty collections rose two per cent year-on-year, indicating a growing share of higher-value transactions in the city’s housing market. Residential properties continued to dominate activity, accounting for nearly 80 per cent of total registrations, supported by stable economic conditions, sustained end-user demand and ongoing infrastructure investments across Mumbai.

On a month-on-month basis, registrations declined 22 per cent and revenue collections fell 19 per cent from December 2025 levels. This moderation is consistent with historical trends, as January typically witnesses seasonal softening following strong year-end transaction momentum.

Higher ticket-size homes continued to gain traction. Properties priced above Rs 50 million accounted for seven per cent of total registrations in January 2026, up from six per cent a year earlier. The Rs 20–50 million segment also expanded its share, while homes priced below Rs 10 million saw a decline, reflecting affordability pressures.

Compact homes remained the preferred choice, with units up to 1,000 sq ft accounting for 83 per cent of registrations. The 500–1,000 sq ft segment led demand, balancing affordability and usability for end-users.

Suburban markets anchored sales activity, with Western and Central Suburbs together contributing nearly 87 per cent of total registrations. The Western Suburbs led with a 57 per cent share, followed by the Central Suburbs at 30 per cent, while South Mumbai and Central Mumbai accounted for the balance.
